james bond - Gun Scene in Goldeneye

In the James Bond film Goldeneye there is a scene were Bond threatens Valentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky. Zukovsky says something along the lines of:



Walther PPK, 7.65mm. Only three men I know use such a gun... I believe I've killed two of them.



However, immediately afterward a henchman appears behind Bond with what appears (to me at least) to be an identical gun. This leaves several options for me:



  • Zukovsky was lying

  • The guns are indeed different

  • It's a continuity error


Which is correct?


Answer


When James Bond points his gun at Valentin Zukovsky it is clear that his gun is a Walter PPK. Notice there are no grooves on the side of the gun towards the back


James Bond Walter PPK


When Valentin's henchman points his gun at James, grooves can be seen on the side of the gun towards the back of the gun.
Valentin's Henchman Gun


This to me shows that the henchman is using a different gun and not a Walter PPK.


It would be a very bad mistake for the production team to have the henchman using a Walter PPK just after Valentin saying pretty much that there is only one person alive who uses it.
