HK VP70 - Turning 9x19 into 9x17 since 1970
This video analyzes the Heckler & Koch VP70, a pioneering polymer-framed handgun introduced in 1970. Inspired by late World War II Volkspistole concepts, it was designed for both high-capacity civilian use and as a three-round burst PDW for military applications. The description highlights its simplicity and robustness, but also notes several deficiencies that contributed to its ultimate commercial failure. The video seems to explore its historical significance and technical aspects.
