Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The original design was developed in the context of the Cold War, while the Berlin Wall still divided Germany’s capital city. H&K was trying to develop a new version of the “Volkspistole”, a handgun which could be produced quickly, in large numbers, and at minimal cost to provide to German civilians to help oppose an invasion. The original development was capable of burst-fire also included a detachable shoulder-stock which would convert the pistol into a submachine gun/PDW. The design was quite simple, a straight blowback, striker-fired gun fed by a double-stack, double-feed 18-round magazine.
The VP70 came in two varieties. The "M" (Militär, military) variant is selective-fire (semi-auto/three-round bursts), and the "Z" (Zivil, civilian) variant is a semi-automatic-only version. The VP70Z has no provision for attaching a stock and also lacks the internal mechanical parts required for the burst-fire function even if the stock was attached. The VP70Z also has a cross-bolt safety right behind the trigger; on the VP70M, this is replaced with a non-functional plug, relying only on the heavy double-action trigger for safety.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Today, polymer-frame handguns are quite common. From newer names like Glock and FMK to much older names like Smith & Wesson, it seems like nearly every handgun manufacturer has a “plastic fantastic”. While Glock may make some claim to helping to popularize the idea, the first mass-produced polymer handgun actually came from Heckler & Koch in 1970.
