Does anybody know what Billy Costigan's (Dicaprio) gun is in THE DEPARTED

Sorry. Small minds have small questions. Just curious.

1. PPK

I googled it and got:

"Walther PPK in stainless steel. This weapon is probably chambered in .380 ACP (a medium-powered round, less powerful than typical police calibers like the 9mm and .40 S&W). Walther also makes an identical looking .32 ACP version, but this is a much less powerful round and I would assume Costigan would carry the .380 version."

3. It's a Walther PPK.

A somewhat popular compact pistol, often chambered in .380 ACP. In that configuration it has a capacity of six rounds in the magazine plus one in the chamber.

5. James Bond used a PPK, too... N/T

7. Not always...

Bond's guns... A history.
Ian Flemming was issued a Baby Browning .25 ACP during WWII, however none ever showed up in Bond's Arsenal.

But of course as with everything... There is a Wiki!!!
