Description: The Weyland-Yutani VP78 Pistol is a machine pistol chambered for 9mm cartridges. A successor to the VP70 machine pistol, the VP78 was employed by the United States Colonial Marine Corps as their standard-issue sidearm in the 23rd century, replacing the VP70 and the M4 Pistol (although some Marines used it as early as 2179).
The VP78 Pistol is chambered for 9mm squash-head rounds for increased stopping power. It can fire in both semi-automatic and three-round burst modes; while accuracy during three-round burst is poor, it greatly increases the weapon's effectiveness at close range. The weapon has neither the stopping power nor the long-range accuracy of many other weapons, but it gives Marines something to fall back on if they cannot use their primary weapons.
It is fitted with a laser sight/flashlight unit underneath the barrel as standard.
