Alright we're going to add details like sights among other things to make it look more UMP-ish.
1-6. Here's the rail and back site parts. I got lazy so the front of the rail is a little messy. You'll need a yellow rod. The sights use mini pieces for precision but feel free to remove them. The back mini doesn't need to be replaced by anything as the green pieces should line up with the bendy up front. You'll notice that the rail may bend upwards so I just stuck a rod through the hole (you can stop laughing now) and tuck it in the crack of the orange connectors (really stop laughing...) I guess you could use whatever color rod.
7-8. The front sites. Again I use mini pieces for precision but you can replace the mini with a green rod or something.
9-12. This is the fake charging handle and the mag unlocker. When a preloaded magazine is inserted, you press on the white rod which will remove the piece blocking the ammo. It's in a sort of safety mode now where most knex newbs won't figure out how to fire the gun if someone else picked it up in battle. Just pull the white rod back out and the ammo will load.
13-15. And here's the trigger guard. It's a little wobbly because I literally made the new handle and guard about 5 minutes before I decided to post so sorry. Feel free to figure out your own.

OK Now we just have to add the stock and we can figure out how to make this thing fire!
