Well it is still uncertain whether the new gun--Walther P99--will become the official new gun of 007. The P99 was not introduced by Q, however Bond does say that Q has mentioned the handgun to him before. 007 picks up the gun halfway through the movie, while arming himself for the final assault on the Carver stealth ship. |
