Profile

Major Boothroyd gives Bond this new Walther PPK to replace his Beretta under orders from M. Boothroyd describes the Beretta as having no stopping power, unlike the PPK which "had a delivery like a brick through a plate glass window". Bond reluctantly agrees, and while he tries to take the Beretta anyway, M instructs him to leave it behind.

For the next 17 films (excluding Monraker and Octopussy) Bond would use the Walther PPK as his usual firearm. It would not be until Tomorrow Never Dies that he upgrades to a new model, the Walther P99, courtesy of Wai Lin. Bond uses the Walther PPK once again in the pre-title sequence of Casino Royale, although for the rest of the film he uses the P99. From Quantum of Solace onwards, Bond returns to using the Walther PPK. §
