Heckler & Koch VP70

The VP70 is a 9×19mm, 18-round, double action only, semi-automatic/three-round burst capable polymer frame pistol manufactured by German arms firm Heckler & Koch GmbH.VP stands for Volkspistole[2][3][4] (literally "People's Pistol"), and the designation 70 was for the first year of production, 1970.The VP70 combined a number of design features that were innovative, or at least very unusual for its time: The handgun comes in two varieties.Four hundred VP70Zs were made in 9×21mm IMI; these samples were made primarily for the civilian market of Italy, where the use of the 9×19mm Parabellum was at the time permitted only to military and law enforcement agencies.All of the VP70Z pistols sold to Italy had the provision to mount the stock, but still lacked the three-round-burst firing capability.
