Carl Walther GmbH

Let me, if you don't mind, a little commentary in there just from my reading.

So when Collazo approaches the booth and he pulls out his Walther and there's a resounding click, you know, but he's fired, dry fired a weapon, knows that.

Well, everybody on the detail, I should say almost everybody, everybody that I can recall was a World War II veteran.

you know, and all of them, you know, they're familiar with the sound and they turned around and I think it was Boring who said, and I see a guy standing there with this Walther and I'm like, do I know this guy? Like, is he showing me, you know, and it took a hot second to register and then he chambers another round and probably doesn't even get reacquainted because there's no, or a closer doesn't, get his sights up or doesn't even lift the gun.

He probably just pulls the trigger again, shoots Birdsell in the, in the knee, Birdsell, then crab walking into the street, returning fire at Colasso, you know, and, and that, goes several ways of sideways.

The story of Joe Downs that you mentioned, he was out getting groceries.

Well, they were donated, I believe, or acquired.

I'm not really sure about the murder weapon, which is on display here now at the library.

So Jake grabbed the gun and he fired instead.

Jake went on to say that he killed five of the victims with a .22 Walther Colt 1911 handgun, while his father Billy killed three family members with a .40 caliber Glock.

He said that George actually did not kill anybody.

The prosecution argued though that even if George did not physically kill anybody, he still was complicit in the planning, execution, and cover-up of the murders.

And so Bond sees Thromper, he's like a stern, but throws a skirt around the table, just moves, and then that guy's boned.

So Bond just takes his Walther and just goes, bing, bing, bing, and shoots a bunch of shots through the hole and kills him.

That's the end of him.

Like simple, easy.

Bad shooters shoot .22s well.

you know and it's always like a buck mark or a mark three or a mark four you know something like that something really easy to shoot nobody's nobody's occasionally I'll see one of those Ruger SR22s but or something like that or the Walther whatever their 22 like that is it's basically the same gun um the like but I have seen the 22s come through it like no this is my defensive pistol um It's better than nothing, you know.

I'd rather have a .22 than nothing.

It's not ideal.

Everything Smith & Wesson has procured or, like, mergered with, they've done a terrible job.

Like, what happened to the Walther PPK after Smith & Wesson took it over? It was terrible.

What happened to any time they take something that someone else has done, they make it worse somehow.

So hopefully they do not do a terrible job.

The exit of Sean Connery, we love me a Sean Connery, James Bond.

After Diamonds of Forever in 1971, Sean Connery had hung up the Walther franchise PPK, that's the gun he used as James Bond for a second time.

Producers Albert Cubbybroccoli and Harry Saltzman needed a fresh identity for 007 and cast Sir Roger Moore to bring a lighter, more suave tone to the series.

But the soundtrack needed to signalize a modernized, energetic era.

It'd be internal.

And then finally, the Walther PPK and .32 ACP.

No spare magazine and fewer than 50 rounds.

So, I'm going to go ahead and start us off with the NEF single-shot 12-gauge Jeremy.

I think this might have to be out of the remaining ones.

It's going to have to be my S because it's going to be the fastest out of pretty much all of them to reload.

Because think about the Walther.

You're going to have to reload the entire magazine and then put it back in because you only have one mag.
