The Walther PPK is first issued to James Bond in Dr. No by Major Boothroyd, when his Beretta is taken away. It delivers shots like a brick through a plate-glass window and has excellent stopping power. It has saved the life of James Bond on many of his missions and has been used to stop several of his main adversaries.
Bond has lost the PPK on numerous missions, always getting a new replacement from Q Branch. Professor Dent is the first unlucky victim of the powerful handgun in the famous scene in Dr. No.
The Walther PPK is 7.65mm and carries seven rounds.
The weapon of choice for hit-man Francisco Scaramanga, this 4.2mm bullet golden gun was extremely dangerous to any of his intended victims. It consisted of several different parts and could be taken apart and put back together: golden cigarette case, the golden pen, and golden cufflinks.
Scaramanga used the weapon to kill 002; Bill Fairbanks, Rodney, the man who duels with him the precredits, and Hai Fat, Andrea Anders, and Gibson.
Claiming that he only needs one bullet, he is later killed by Bond during their deadly duel in his funhouse.
Given to him by Q Branch, this fake third nipple could appear as the actual item to the human eye. Bond uses it in attempt to make himself appear as Scaramanga.
This homing device is described to James Bond by Mary Goodnight over dinner. She tells of how the lowest button in her frock contains a Q Branch homing device.
The homer is later mentioned in the film when discussing the whereabouts of Goodnight and Scaramanga.
