The {{Nihongo|'''Hand Gun'''|ハンドガン|handogan}} is a weapon in ''[[Resident Evil 2 (1998 game)|Resident Evil 2]]''. The gun is identified as a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heckler_%26_Koch_VP70 Heckler & Koch VP70]. It is a polymer pistol that served as [[Leon Scott Kennedy]]'s [[Raccoon Police Department|R.P.D]]. police firearm.

Leon can also find [[Handgun Parts (RE2)|Handgun Parts]] (in a locked desk outside the Police Station library) which upgrade the VP70 to the VP70 machine-pistol (called the VP70 Burst ingame). Using these parts, the handgun gains a plastic stock and three shot burst functionality, and is now called '''VP70 Burst'''. The upgrade does not increase the power, but a single burst can knock down a zombie (useful in close quarters).

Leon's Handgun is a preferred choice when fighting the lesser enemies of the game such as [[zombies]] and [[Zombie Dog]]s. However, it is weak against [[licker]]s, and inadequate for tough opponents like [[T-00]].
