Is the ump a machine pistol or a sub-machine gun?
Both machine pistols and sub-machine guns are fully-automatic or selective-fire weapons that fire pistol ammunition, rather than rifle ammo. Generally, the term machine pistol refers to smaller arms that have no stocks, but this is by no means universally observed. For example, the Schmeisser "machine pistol" used by the Germans in WW II has a collapsing wire stock. Overall, they are the same thing. However, we would say that the H&K UMP definitely falls into the sub-machine gun range.
