It's alright saying it's more powerful in the real word but I'm afraid this is a game that lives or dies by it's balance and in a head to head online game the winner in a firefight should be the one with either quicker reactions or the ability to aim more accurately while shooting. Using your logic we should just allow people to win because of their ability to choose a more powerful weapon, you're wrong and I'm right.
You're confusing opinion with fact 
The key word though is underlined. And by your logic all the guns would be equal.
Using my logic the UMP with its higher calibre round that has a lot more mass does more damage. You then balance that with recoil, accuracy, effective range rate of fire.
I would have the UMP.45 as high damage, high recoil, low effective range, medium rate of fire and say a PP2000 as lower damage, lower recoil, higher effective range, much higher rate of fire.

Depends how you're each defining powerful - obviously there is a technical reason why the UMP should have greater stopping power, and as Mr_Inconspicuous says, it should have limitations in other areas.
Similarly, as Tom_York says, if there were one gun which completely negated skill then there would be a problem - think along the lines of the UMP from MW2. As it is I've neither seen the stats for BF3's UMP nor used it myself so I don't know whether this is the case.
AHHH good times..

Yes.
It was overpowered in BC2 and clearly it's carried over to BF3.
Um, yes it was overpowered in BC2. Along with every other SMG in the game.
Have you not played BC2?
