Closing thoughts

The MP5-SD is a silenced SMG that occupies the same loadout slot as the MP7; it's unique selling point is its silencer as the former deals more damage. Unfortunately this often is not enough to justify its high purchase price. However, a cheap (compared to a rifle) weapon that is silenced and has a high rate of fire can have utility in certain scenarios.

With its cheap cost and high armour penetration the UMP-45 is a solid alternative to other cheap SMGs such as the MAC-10 or MP9 when facing armoured opponents.
