Walther PPK or PP 7.65mm, seven in the mag and one up the spout. Prone to jamming (don't tell Mr Bond), in fact Insp James Beaton found this to his cost in 1974 when he attempted to bring down Princess Anne's assailent in the Mall. He did however end up being shot himself whilst attempting to clear the PPK. Messrs Peters & Nichols surmised it would probably be better to throw the Walthers at the oncoming enemy troops.
