The twins in the Matrix reloaded were driving a Cadillac Escalade, not a Lincoln Navigator.

[edit] Reference/citation?

On a tactical team such as the Los Angeles Police Department's D-Platoon, it is not uncommon to have the majority of officers carrying MP5s and one or two carrying a UMP.

I would like to see the reference/citation that shows or states that LAPD SWAT (Metro D-Platoon) indeed issue the H&K UMP as I'm sure it would ne news to them that they do (outside of kiddies videogame land)...

[edit] Price

Can the article include the price. For example, I'm sure this gun (with some paperwork) is available to the public in the US. What is it in dollars?--81.105.251.160 03:58, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

They are not available to the public in the US, because it was designed after 1986 when the last civilian-legal machineguns were manufactured in the US. Dealers who sell to law enforcement can buy samples, and police and military agencies can buy them. The law enforcement price was recommended as $900 ( [1] ).

[edit] Users

Could someone get me a listof current military and police users of the UMP? QZXA2 17:37, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] USC merged into UMP

The USC is a semi variant with a longer barrel and some tacky furniture. Koalorka (talk) 17:37, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Not a bad idea for a merge. Let's let the tags sit for a few more days so people can think about it, but it makes sense to me. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 20:54, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

a REAL picture of a UMP should be used, not a computer generated version. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ThaWhistle (talkcontribs) 23:19, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes but we do not have a free photo of a UMP so i computer one will have to do. BonesBrigade 23:24, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Picture problem fixed. Knew I had some I'd taken a few years ago. --Asams10 (talk) 23:36, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
