It features extensive use of polymer for the receiver and furniture, a side-folding stock, and Picatinny rails for accessory mounting. The UMP has been adopted by various law enforcement agencies and military units worldwide.

The Thompson submachine gun, often called the "Tommy Gun," is a blow‑back, selective‑fire SMG designed in the early 1920s to provide a high‑rate, close‑quarters firepower platform for law‑enforcement, military, and civilian markets. Its hallmark is the exceptionally fast cyclic rate of 600–1,250 rpm, achieved through a heavy bolt and a simple open‑bolt blow‑back system. The weapon’s distinctive vertical‑handguard, cut‑away rear sight drum, and iconic wooden stock set it apart visually. Originally chambered for .45 ACP, the Thompson was praised for its stopping power and reliability, gaining a reputation as both a feared gangster weapon and a beloved "trench broom" in World War II. Unique features include a two‑stage trigger for semi‑automatic fire, a built‑in compensator on the barrel, and interchangeable 20‑, 30‑, and 50‑round drum magazines, making it versatile for both rapid suppressive fire and controlled single shots.
