Heckler & Koch VP70

The Heckler & Koch VP70, is an 18-round, blowback-operated, striker-fired, double action only, semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum. Made completely of nano-bound hard impact plastic and other synthetic materials.

The Handgun is Arthur's starting weapon during Resident Evil Outbreak File #3.

Overview
The VP70 uses a spring-loaded striker instead of a conventional firing pin. 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 VP70 uses a manual safety and is the circular button located immediately behind the trigger and is a crossblock safety.

Gameplay
The VP70 is an eighteen-shot polymer pistol that served as Arthur's R.P.D. police firearm. It is a useful weapon early on, with a larger magazine than the regular R.P.D. Handgun, but slightly less power.
