P99 spotted in movie

Rented WAR with Jet Li.
He carries a P99 variant that appears to have a chromed slide.

Funny thing is the magazine is loaded with FN's 5.7 rounds

We saw that too. Had me scratching my head but my 19-year-old son I.D.ed it just as you did: 'Five-seveN'

You guys don't have the 5.7 conversion kit yet? It's just a bit less popular than the .357 sig conversion kit.

Yea, we discussed this here and on other forums when the movie was out in the theatre...

Yes - the gun is fictional Hollywood magic - shooting 5.7 ammo

Chris Tucker also shoots a P99 in Rush Hour 3, I don't remember the exact scene but I think it is one of the early ones in the Hospital. The P99 also makes frequent appearances throughout the entire series of 24 =)

They use P99's in The Wire a lot and I do see them in movies quite often... it is funny how you keep an eye out for stuff like that once you are familiar with one. I was just watching an episode of season 4 of The Wire last night (great show by the way) where a bunch of gang-bangers are target practicing with bottles and cans and such... and one of them was using an older P99 with a hard-chromed slide, I knew it was an older model right off the bat because of the "ski bump" in the trigger guard. Out of the three and a half seasons I've watched of that show I've noticed P99s at least 10 times... but I guess that is to be expected for a show about cops, drugs, guns and gang-bangers.

Christ..........Jessica Alba and a Walther? Put those two together and that's guaranteed Golden Globe material. I'm not a 100 percent sure but does Matt Damon use a P5 in the scene where he jumps down the staicase in the Boure Identity and then shoots a bad guy on one of the landings?

Here's a list of movies and TV shows that use a P99, http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=Walther_P99

You can add to is if you see one missing.
