Range day was good
Alright gun post before I go to bed.
On Today's episode: The VP70
The horror game nerds will recognise this as Matilda, Leon Kennedy's personal firearm from the Resident Evil franchise.
The VP70 (Volkpistole [people's pistol] 70) by Heckler and Koch was designed in 1970. It was the first polymer body pistol, 12 years before the Glock 17 was made. It was double stacked, which was also rare for the time.
What makes this pistol that unusual? Not even the gun itself, it was the stock. The stock (which appeared on the military versions of the gun) would make the gun go from a regular semiautomatic, to a burst fire gun. Burst fire meant it could fire 3 shots with one trigger pull. It was so fast, at 2,200 rounds a minute. Why did it work? Cause the stock helped mitigate recoil, allowing the burst fire to be more accurate. German engineering is wild and magical
Now, I hope posts like these help educate people on firearms and to show that there is more to guns than just shooting. Mechanically they can be very intriguing, or even just aesthetically. If anyone has any recommendations or questions, I am more than happy to comply.

Is the VP70 or Glock 17 Lainpilled?
September HF Patreon Wallpaper - HK VP70M
This month’s Historical Firearms desktop wallpaper features an ingenious Heckler & Koch design, the the first production polymer handgun which when combined with a stock became a PDW capable of burst fire. The wallpaper combines several patents which protect the VP70's design with a high res photograph of an early VP70M.
