H&K VP-70M: Polymer Framed Cutting Edge Machine Pistol from 1973
This video delves into the Heckler & Koch VP-70M, a groundbreaking pistol introduced in 1973. It was designed with mass production in mind, intended for civilian resistance in East Germany. The VP-70M features a polymer frame, double-stack 18-round magazines, and a unique striker-fired system. A notable feature is its optional 3-round burst mode when equipped with a shoulder stock, which also serves as a holster. The video also briefly touches on the civilian VP-70Z variant, which lacked the burst fire capability and stock fittings. The VP-70's innovative design for its era is highlighted, including its polymer construction and high-capacity magazine.
