OptimusPrime

Airsoft GI drops the price for the Elite Force/Umarex H&K UMP .45 AEG made by Ares Airsoft... "The Umarex H&K UMP .45 Elite Next Gen AEG Airsoft Gun By ARES is one of the top-of-the-line universal submachine guns being offered by Umarex and Elite Force. Heckler & Koch developed the UMP in 1999 as the successor to the famed MP5 SMG, offering more power in a lighter, more affordable design. With an H&K UMP Elite SMG Airsoft Gun, you’ll have a great officially licensed CQB weapon for your next operation.

The Gen 2 UMP airsoft AEG has a reinforced nylon polymer body with etched H&K licensed trademarks. The front of the gun features a 20mm tri-rail system, allowing for the installation of multiple tactical accessories such as flashlights, lasers and vertical grips. The top optic rail will accommodate most flex and red dot sights. The fire selector is completely ambidextrous and is great for both right and left-handed shooters. The folding stock is solidly constructed with a rubberized cheek weld and buttplate for maximum ergonomics. With the stock folded, this gun is only about 18 inches, which is a great length for all CQB firefights. It also lets you store your AEG and get it in or out of cars more easily.

The interior of the Umarex UMP .45 Elite is equally as impressive, with the specialized ARES version 3 all-metal gearbox. This gearbox features an electric blowback system that gives a realistic kick when you fire. It also has a quick spring change system for making adjustments on the fly. This, along with 7mm steel bushings and bearings, make this gun cycle very efficiently. The functional charging handle allows for the famous "HK" slap and also will reveal the adjustment wheel for the hop-up unit. The trigger features a micro-switch, which removes the need for a clunky fuse and also helps minimize trigger pull. The added electronic control unit is programmable to be switched to burst fire or semi only. Umarex has added an inline MOSFET as well to prevent build-up on the trigger contacts.

Overall, this is another well-built close quarter airsoft gun by Elite Force. The H&K UMP .45 Electric Blowback will perfectly mimic the weapon used by units ranging from U.S. Border Patrol to the Italian Special Forces. Contact the Airsoft GI team to learn more."
