Overview[]
- This section is a stub. You can help Armed Assault Wiki by expanding it.
The HP is a semi-automatic pistol that uses a short recoil operation and locked breech. It is chambered to fire the 9×19 mm cartridge.
It loads from 13-round box magazines and can attain a fire rate of approximately ~ 461 rounds per minute[CfgWp 7][Formula 1] with a muzzle velocity of 280 m/s.[CfgWp 8] HPs cannot be fitted with optics or be dual-wielded alongside a flashlight/torch. However, it does allow for a dedicated sound suppressor to be fitted.[CfgWp 9]
Ironsights[]

The HP is set to a fixed zeroing of 50 metres.[CfgWp 10] It is not possible to manually adjust the HP's zeroing.

Trivia[]
- Prior to Update 1.2, the HP was not used by any of the main factions and could only be obtained through the Virtual Arsenal or in MACV supply crates.[1]
- The HP did not originally have the ability to mount a suppressor. This capability (alongside the suppressor itself) was only made available after the release of Update 1.3.[2]
