The Handgun was Leon's starting handgun during Resident Evil 2. Leon's handgun was identified as the VP70 according to the examine screen.

The H&K VP70 is useful, with a larger magazine than Claire's Browning. The VP70 is a preferred choice when fighting the lesser enemies of the game such as zombies and Zombie Dogs.

Leon can also find 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). Upgraded, Leon can effectively take on tougher opponents such as lickers with ease when using the Burst Mode, but with the disadvantage of a much heavier ammunition usage. The handgun can now be set to either Semi-Auto Mode or 3-Shot Burst Mode.

Both versions fire 9x19mm Parabellum rounds.
