Bond's guns

In the movies (not the books), Ian Flemming's James Bond used the same firearm for decades.

In the first Bond movie: "Dr. No.", Q. asks James to trade in his World War II spy pistol (a Beretta 418) for a Walther PPK.
Both Sean Connery and Roger Moore used the tiny poodle shooter to snipe grown men from distances a rifle would struggle to share the good news with. (Who the deuce is Timothy Dalton)

In the film "Tomorrow Never Dies" an asian girl re-outfits Bond with a Walther P99, and he keeps it for the next few films (ever the loyalist). It's the gun that he travels with and uses most of the time.
Daniel Craig still uses one in the modern section of "Casino Royale".
