There are 24 Bond movies as of 2019. A 25th one is on its way. As a Bond aficionado, I have noticed that 007 always loses his gun. This generally happens around six times per film. So, by my calculations, there should be around 144 Walther PPKs laying about all over the world. What a waste.

What I really want to know is, did he carry spares? Occasionally you see him grab another Walther from his glove compartment or some other hidden cubby hole, but mainly he just magically has a new Walther in hand, ready to fight the villain. If I was M, I would make him purchase his own firearms. Can you imagine how much these lost Walthers cost Her Majesty’s Secret Service annually? Walther should demand he refund them for all these lost weapons.

Just a friendly reminder that if you are in the Secret Service, you better hold on to your gun.
