Bond's Walther PPK goes digital: A civilized gun updated

Back on topic...

I think you will find the Protective Detail for Princess Anne had something a bit bigger than PPKs - from memory it was a 9mm, probably a P38 or a P5, that jammed because the slide had cracked. Definitely not a PPK.

Never been a big Walther fan, personally, but the PPK is nicely put together (if a bit marginal on power).

Unhappy

hardware is fine...

I bought a Prime a couple of weeks ago and i love it. Had a look at the 300 on thursday at Dixons at Gatwick and it was impressive. My problem is with the software - Google Play doesnt recognise any of the offshore islands (Guernsey, Jersey or IOM) so i have no access to paid apps or content. Not all of the free apps seem to be there either. Grabbed a few apps while in London last week but its a real nuisance. They have been aware of the issue for ages. Maybe el Reg could ask them for an update as i am getting nowhere....

Ten... fantasy swords you wish you owned

A waste of steel

Don't see the point myself (pardon the pun !). If you want a sword, at least get a decent one - google Don Fogg, Scott Slobodian or Michael Bell and have a look at some proper craftsmanship. Just don't look at the prices...
