Very, very nice Oldzey.
I really love the look of this gun.
I wouldn't have guessed it was resin, looks like the real deal. |

Doesn't hurt that the real one is largely plastic Gaffe. |

VP70 is an interesting weapon because it had a clip on stock which enabled the weapon to fire 3 round bursts.It couldn't fire the bursts without the stock though.It was quite futuristic when it came out and not a great success. |

Great Pics steevy!
I remember years ago when this thing came out, it had a composite design, and because it had some plastic parts, a lot of people thought it was entirely plastic and was a threat through X-ray machines. H&K had some really great stuff, I have an H&K-91 I bought in '88, it's a blast! |

Sidkit used to make a version of the VP70 with moving parts and a removable clip:

I had a VP-70 once, the trigger pull was AWFUL. (like 10 pounds or so) It was designed for the 3-shot burst, I guess, but semi was the only option sold here.
It IS mostly plastic, but 17 rounds of 9mm tend to give it some heft fully loaded.
I remember selling it for $175, and happy to be rid of it. |
