I wonder if they will push their USC any? The Universal Service Carbine, in .45 ACP, sold to civilians in the US with a 10 round magazine, but probably available with bigger ones to police and military types. It uses a lot of polymers and has a very good balance. The parts that are steel (I think they are made of steel) are very high quality. The example I saw had ghost ring sights, a mounting rail, and was extremely balanced and pointable. Perhaps the UMP is supposed to go against the other PDW type weapons that are out there. Didn't Steyr have a machine pistol of sorts out as well? The Steyr TMP, a 9mm pistol with a 25-round clip, IIRC. Not bad, but I'd prefer that Beretta that John Travolta was using in Broken Arrow - a Beretta 93R with some of those aftermarket 30-round clips. Load it with the Federal 9BPLE or Cor-Bon 115-grain +P+ loads, and you'd pretty much be set. The Glock 18 (with a 33-round clip) would also be a valid option. What ever happened to those 50-shot pistols that all the cowboys in those Saturday matinee serials used to carry? Damfino why the military never adopted them. I was more impressed by the Good Guy model revolvers which apparently had some sort of terminal guidance system that allowed its bullets to strike only the _weapons_ of the bad guys. At extreme range. In windy conditions. Fired from the hip. Home on attitude projectiles?
