Good, HK and it's stupid system of "approved factory distributors" dies a well deserved death. Maybe now they'll have something called "customer service."
Bond carried a Beretta .25 at the beginning of
Dr. No. In his first briefing with M, he was forced to give up the Beretta (which he'd used for 10 years and hadn't missed with) because it jammed on him on his last mission and he spent weeks recovering from a gunshot wound. Boothroyd (Q) supplied him with a Walther PPK 7.65 mm that supposedly had "a delivery like a brick through a plate glass window", whatever that means. He used the PPK all the way up until halfway through
Tomorrow Never Dies, at which point he got the new Walther P99 from Wai Lin's apartment in Saigon.
The Bond movies are notoriously inaccurate when it comes to firearms, and later in Dr. No he can be seen using an FN 1910 md. 32 in the scene where he waits for Professor Dent. In the newest flick, Die Another Day, the inaccuracies continue when Bond is supposedly fooled when the double agent he was sleeping with unloaded his P99 without him knowing it, setting him up for capture later in the scene. I don't know about you, but I can definitely tell whether a 9mm is fully loaded or not if I pick it up, and for someone who is supposedly a firearms expert, Bond should have known as well.
