VP70

The VP70 is a burst-fire handgun players can buy starting from level 5.

Overview The VP70 (Volkspistole 1970 : People's Pistol 1970) is a double action only, burst fire/semi-automatic firing pistol manufactured by Heckler and Koch, known for combining several features that were innovative or at the very least, unusual at the time of the pistol's production.


 * It was the first polymer-framed handgun, predating the Glock 17 by 12 years. At 820 g (28.9 oz) unloaded, the weapon is lighter than most metal framed pistols of the time.
 * It has a double-stack, double-feed magazine; double-feed magazines are uncommon for pistols even today. These magazines hold 18 rounds, a rather high capacity for its original production time though as of recent 9mm sidearms, 18 rounds is the standard ammo capacity
 * As on the Mauser C96, the stock was designed to be used as a holster when not mounted. On the military version of the VP70 this combination includes a unique feature: when mounted, a selective-fire switch, located on the stock, allows switching the weapon to a three-round-burst mode, with a 2,200 rounds per minute cyclic rate of fire.
 * The VP70 uses a spring-loaded striker like a Glock, instead of a conventional firing pin like most pistols.
 * It is double-action only, so the trigger pull is relatively heavy.
 * In lieu of a blade front sight, the VP70 uses a polished ramp with a central notch in the middle to provide the illusion of a dark front post.


 * The barrel has very deeply cut rifling; this was done to purposely vent gas past the bullet, placing less gas pressure on the slide, a critical part of the VP70's direct blowback function. This also results in slightly reduced bullet velocity when compared to other pistols with similar, or even slightly shorter barrel length.

Due to the VP70 firing in burst mode, the variant in AniPhobia is the VP70M (M = Militär, military) instead of the civilian variant.

In-game
The VP70 is a burst-fire handgun the player will be able to buy in Mista's Shop, becoming available for purchase at Level 5.

The weapon deals 20 damage and 40 on headshots which in translates to 60 damage if all rounds hit the body and 120 to the head.

The weapon has an ammo capacity of 126 rounds, with 18 rounds already in the player's magazine and 108 more in reserve, and a reload time of approximately 2.5 seconds. This weapon uses Light Ammo like all Pistols and SMGs.

Players need to buy this weapon from Mista's shop for 1500$. This weapon is kept upon death, but not upon ending a session. Strategies The VP70 shoots 3 rounds per burst. This means that players will only have 6 "shots" in a magazine, and care must be taken to ensure that players doesn't run out ammo in the worst possible moment.

The VP70 tends to work well as a kill finisher against bosses/High health enemies and a solid pocket secondary when the situation calls for it, being able to kill of most of the basic enemies with a single burst to the head, it's quick rate of fire, low recoil and snappy reloading tends to work well as a secondary.
