UMP, AKS-74u, or MP5
What's the best weapon of these 3 for CQB?

I'm currently running a sniper class but I'm having troubles deciding what to use as my secondary. The AKS-74u is what I currently have but I've also turned down the UMP45 and the MP5 many times, this is because the AKS-74u fires a bigger round than the UMP and the MP5.

What do you think?

I just pack a sawed-off for CQB. Takes up very little inventory and it's just as good as all those SMGs. If I'm in CQB, it's gonna be a twitch shot and I'd rather not spray like crazy.

EDIT: I also pack a pistol, so if I spot another player close enough not to warrant a rifle shot, I'll use the pistol to get a close head-shot so as not to ruin gear, but a shotgun is the best for dealing with surprise guests, IMO.

I would say the mp5 because it has a high rate if fire and the ump does not have high rate and the ak mags are harder to find and supressors the supressors for mp5 and the ump are easy to get so I personally would pick the ump just cos I have killed players wirh it and its a nice weapon low recoil the mp5 has a fair bit of recoil but my prefered loadput wpuld be a silenced ump with a rv1 a winchester with a hunting scope and a fnx with a supressor and a scope a hunting bag full ttsko clpthing debuck booney hat and a camo bandana but the answer is the ump mags are so much easyer to find

I prefer the UMP, .45 cal is hard hitting, and mags are very easy to find. Throw a red dot on it and it is awesome.

Your dreaming if you think the ak fires a larger round than the 45 or the mp5. Think about it, 5.56mm vs 9mm for mp5 and .45 cal which is larger again.

Larger casing only means higher propellant, so longer range look at the size of the projectile, not the casing.

MP5 has a brutal rate of fire.

Very short barrel + 9mm cartridge means low recoil, plus the compensator+forward handgrip+red dot sight makes for a very formidable close quarters small arm. The sound of it sends chills down my spine. Sounds like tearing paper.

The AKS-74U is convenient for using the soviet rifle ammunition - combine with an AK74 for an all round combat capability.

UMP 45? if you want a very hard hitting CQB gun this is your best bet. Need to be ready for that recoil though, short bursts only.

MP5 for me.

The AK74U is still the best. It is a shame the AK74U in game does not have the Russian standard rail mount on the side of the gun like it does in real life else you could use the kashtan scope for it

UMP 45 is the best overall, but it is the rarest, spwning only in US heli crashes and Officer Tents. Does the most damage of the 3.

MP5 is a close second, and its definately easier to find. Also has more attachments and higest fire rate.

AK74-U is definately the easiest to find but the worst of the 3 in my opinion, but not bad by any means.

I personally go with whatever I get, because it takes a lot of time to hunt for the best weapon (as it should be).

Best CQ weapon hands down, the sawed takes a lot less room than the three you listed, so that means more room for some homemade silencers. You being a sniper so the only time you gonna use it is if someone walks up own you or you need to clear a building and to me theres no better gun than the sawed off for that. But if I must pick between those 3, i would have to go with the MP5
