UMP45 or MP5k?
The SPAS is the best weapon in the game. But there are also two more secondary weapon in Urban Terror 4.1. We already know that in Urban Terror 4.2 there will be two more secondaries: the Benelli M4 Tactical and the FN P90.
For now we asked our readers to chose wich is the best secondary weapon besides the SPAS. Here are their opinions.

MP5, such a fast gun!

I think the mp5 is a better weapon because it offers a faster rate of fire over the ump. Sometimes I’ll use a silencer with the mp5 which almost makes it equal to a primary weapon. Overall I think the mp5 just has better balance than the ump does.

I think the ump is a better weapon as it has a lot more accuracy than the mp5 and hardly and recoil. Not to mention that it does 100% damage for a headshot (non helmet of course). Ump also seems to get a lot more headshots having basically no recoil.

When you play in a small and crowded map, mp5 is to prefer because of its amazing fire rate that allows to kill 2 (and occasionally 3) opponents with the same magazine, spamming at their heads. When the opposite teams has 2 or 3 players only, UMP (having a better precision them mp5) can be used like it was a DE with more ammos. With a slow rate weapon (H&K, SR8 or AK) I usually join a mp5 and DE to balance. With PSG1 I always use UMP and Beretta.
With other auto weapons (LR, M4, G36) a secondary is almost useless, because it is very hard to use 90 bullets in a round.

I almost never use secondary weapon but when I took one, I’m more for MP5K.

It really depends. First I’d like to point out some common misconceptions about each gun. The UMP, while it has very little recoil is very inaccurate when not used with a laser. Try shooting at a wall and watching where the bullets land (without a laser) and you’ll se what I mean. Try it now with a laser. Very accurate. The MP5 on the other hand, gets knocked for poor accuracy. Like the UMP (without a laser), it doesn’t have terrific accuracy, but the spread never becomes excessive. That being said, I usually don’t use secondaries. When I do, I find myself using the UMP when I have a laser and the MP5 when I don’t.

I don’t use secondaries often but when I do I’ve noticed that the MP5 is the red-head stepchild. It doesn’t get much love but it can sure pack a punch. The insanely fast fire rate makes it a decent weapon and the accuracy isn’t bad for the fire rate. With that said I believe it can still be used mid-long range effectively it just wouldn’t be a fast killer. After all you’re using a secondary because your primary is a sniper rifle so you shouldn’t be long ranging with your secondary anyway.

I prefer UMP for a few reasons: 1 hit to head, more controllable recoil imo, better ammo efficiency (going “click click” is bad), lower rate of fire is balanced by damage. The UMP kills fast enough at short range, and still performs well at mid range when you don’t have the chance to pull your SR-8 out. Anyway, you should be using controlled bursts for anything but extremely short range, so the lower rate of fire becomes something of a non-issue, or even a benefit.

While I regularly use both guns, I would say the UMP is better. I does enough damage to allow you to kill a lot more people per clip than the MP5 does and it kills opponent without helmets with a single bullet to the head. The fire rate, while slow, is still fast enough to kill close adversaries almost as fast as with the MP5. The UMP’s accuracy is also way better, it will hit reliably at medium range and can be used at long range thanks to its very low recoil. The UMP can also be used in full auto for a long time and still be relatively accurate, this cannot be said of the MP5 that has horrible accuracy after 6 or 7 bullets.
With that said, I usually don’t use a secondary, it’s easy to pick one up on the ground, and a silenced Beretta or a Desert Eagle is more than good enough to kill your opponent should you be using a sniper rifle as your primary. If you have an automatic as a primary, well, starting the round with a secondary is pretty much useless, as you can kill a lot of people with a clip from your auto and your pistol before having to reload, and one of your kills is bound to be carrying a secondary.

Usaly never take a secondary weapon, but if i do i will take the mp5, simple because its way faster – And ump5 is somehow a bit unhit for me, think its because of its speed.
Trapdoorspider
I roll with an MP5 for a backup weapon when I’m SR8ing. It can mow down rushers very well with controlled spam. When I want to be more offensive I use the UMP as if it were a Baretta on steroids.

I usually take SPAS, but when i take auto, it’s mp5.
Tarquin
The only advantage that the MP5 has over the UMP is a faster rate of fire. Everything else about it sucks. So if you are looking for some easy hits then go with the MP5. Otherwise, with aim, the UMP will give you a much easier time killing enemies.
Overall
7 Players have told us that MP5 is better for them and 4 have told us that UMP is better. Two more players ([sDi]Lebbra! and GingerbreadMan) said that really depends on equipment, primary weapon and map.
We hope that this helped you choose your secondary weapon, feel free to comment below your choices about secondary weapon.

I prefer UMP45 because it has a better accuracy and a better power than mp5k. Use UMP45 !!! xD
I use the MP5K because it’s faster than the UMP, but the damages on torso are only 30% but it has more hits

When a M4/LR-300 duel?
This article is good except it is really a 3 way decision:
UMP45, MP5k, or neither
Something that wasn’t brought up was the “spam” mode on the UMP. This is such a fast 3 round burst as to almost be considered one shot. If you’re very accurate with your fire… this can be like using a sniper or DE in tactics. A hit or two with this will take down most opponents… it’s almost like a long range shotgun. With a silencer this can be a really obnoxious fire-from-cover weapon when you’re behind enemy lines… say camping in enemy base on Riyadh.
Personally… I don’t take a secondary when I’m using autos.. and when I’m sniping… it fully depends on the level. Although, usually I will take perks instead (silencer, laser, helmet, extra ammo, etc.) and then pick up a secondary laying on the ground as I move around… this limits your choices… so I just learned to use all three and bound weapon drop to a more convenient key.
Absolutely, I found the spam mode of the UMP to be awesome. Unfortunatly I’m not that accurate so I can’t use that effectively.
It is a remarkable oversight that there is no discussion on firing modes in this article. Spam combined with a laser and a steady hand is a game changer. BDSDSDST! Dead. Unfortunately for me, I tend to become too excited, and I will rake with spam instead of targeting properly, resulting in only one hit and a long delay until the next opportunity.
For me, the MP4K is a panic weapon. After a few auto shots, my crosshair arms have practically left the screen. I mostly use it to cover my retreat or keep doorways clear. The advantage is the incredibly fast reload time. You can reload AND burn through the whole new clip in the same time it takes just to reload some other weapons.
The SPAS thing, that’s a joke, right?
The SPAS is definitely not the best weapon in the game…
Well i think is better a combination of both ump in spam mode as main and mpk5 in auto as secondary for short range when running out of ump ammo. But i prefer the ump, the best combination i’ve found is grens, vest, sr8 and ump in spam mode.
i got told that the mp5 make someone bleed alot more is this true?
