James Bond's Pistol - Walther P99




The Walther P99 is a pistol made in Germany by Walther Sportwaffen.

The design of the P99 was initiated in 1994, and a handgun was presented in 1996. The main goal was to develop a new, modern-style police and self-defense handgun that incorporated all the latest developments and would cost less than its predecessor - the Walther P88, which did not achieve any significant commercial success, mainly due to high prices.

Walther has also created several limited production runs of the P99 including:

MI-6 (James Bond) a marketing tie-in with new James Bond movies, since it is now used by this fictional character.
La Chasse (hunting)
Year 2000 (Millennium).
