The upgrade does not increase the power nor its ammo capacity, but a single burst can knock down a [[zombie]], useful in close quarter fights with them. Upgrading the weapon will also automatically reload it, which gives more ammunition that the player would not actually have. The Burst Handgun can also be set to either Semi-Auto Mode or 3-Shot Burst Mode in the menu.

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 a bit weak against [[licker]]s, and inadequate for tough opponents like [[T-00]]. The upgraded VP70 can now effectively take on tougher opponents such as [[licker]]s with ease when using the Burst Mode, but with the disadvantage of a much heavier ammunition usage.
