It's a pretty decent gun. Nice to hold, cool looking, and accurate. It's a bit heavy for a gun of it's size. I'd recomend this for your handgun collection. Here is a list of all semi-auto handguns I'd recomend.
- Glock 17,18
- Heckler & Koch USP, USP Expert
- Heckler & Koch VP70
- FN FiveseveN
- Springfield Armory XD
- Walther P99
- Kimber Desert Warrior
- SIG-Sauer P226
- Browning Hi-Power
- Smith & Wesson 4506
^
All of these are must haves
Who wrote this? VP70, FiveseveN and Glock 18 are military issue only. The full auto and brust pistols are illegal for the commercial market and the FiveseveN and VP70 are no longer in production. I think some little COD fan is trying to make smart with the people who actually know their shit. The P99 weighs just over 600 grams making itabiut as heavy as a glock and lighter in weight than a 92F, M1911 and most other non polymer bodied pistols on the market. Fucking Noob! --Captain Snikt 02:31, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
- You're wrong about the VP70. It's not military issue only. I have one (and owned it since the early 1980s) I have everything on that list except the Glock 18, the USP Expert and the 4506. Personally I don't see the allure of having everything, except it's fun to mess around when you're bored. I'd still take the Glock into a gun fight before all others, unless there are specific requirements that other models will have and advantage with. Also, the VP70 is the LOWEST ranked gun on that list. I DON'T recommend it. :) MoviePropMaster2008 04:46, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
- Actually I'm pretty sure the FiveseveN is still being manufactured and can be purchased although it is rather expensive not to mention 5.7mm ammo is also expensive as hell. Other than that, I agree with what you said about this COD fan-boy. --129.89.187.78 03:09, 14 March 2010 (UTC) (ThePotShot)
Who pissed in your goddam cornflakes this morning??? Give the kid a break, he's having a little fun. So shut the fuck up AND stay quiet unless you have something constructive to say, got it?StrikerDelta
James Bond
Since James Bond has went back to using his old Walther PPk in Quantum of Solace, do you think he should have sticked to his old gun that whole time or use the Walther P99??? (Please note that this is just a matter of opinions.) I think the P99 is something nice to be changed, 7 rounds of .32 .vs 15 of 9mm, you do the math. --FIVETWOSEVEN 03:52, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- I never thought this switch to the P99 made sense, other than some marketing for Walther. He's a secret agent, it'd make sense for him to carry a weapon designed to be concealable. I can understand if he went for something bigger on some missions, like the dam mission at the beginning of Goldeneye, but overall I'm glad he's back with the PPK. If the producers want to appease Walther, I'd be okay with him switching over to a PPS or something. --Funkychinaman 06:40, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
I agree with Funkychinaman that Bond should carry the Walter PPK every where because is concealable. on mission he carry's a wonder 9 handgun, and his PPK as aback up handgun.
I'd like to see him equipped with both, PPK for concealed carry and P99 for when he needs extra firepower and concealing his weapon isn't an issue. I don't really like the trigger guards on the post-2004 models though.
I believe it was in the novel "Doctor No" where he switched over to the PPK, he was also issued a customized S&W .38.
