Description[]
Main article: VP91Z
A semi-automatic, civilian version of the Heckler & Koch Volkspostole 91,[1] the successor to the West German VP 70. Designed in 1991, its high capacity and good performance made it a staple sidearm of modern warfare. Although it's a West German design, enough units were imported into the United States to make it readily available. Desert Rangers in particular liked it enough to adopt it as a standard sidearm.
Characteristics[]
The weapon generates alerts enemies (generates noise) in a 18 unit radius.
A very basic, entry-level pistol. Outclassed by pretty much any subsequent pistol or revolver.
Location[]
Starting weapon for Rangers with Handguns.
