Jet initially had me scratching my head trying to figure out what type of pistol he preferred. My task was not made easy because I only had one gun book to refer to and a lot of the scenes where Jet actually toted a gun the weapon was hidden or too little frames were included in the scene, making the weapon difficult to identify.
Anyway, Jet-to san likes to use Walther products, specifically a Walther P99. The P99 is a German made semi-auto with a lot of safeties built into it. Jet seems to be the only one to use a pistol tailor made to 21st century specifications. Same like the Faye's Glock, the P99 has a polymer frame, but it is not parkerised. I'm not sure what caliber Jet likes his guns to be in because the P99 comes in 9 x 19 mm  Parabellum, .40 Smith & Wesson, .45 ACP & .380 ACP. I'm guessing 9 mm to maintain standardization with Spike's Jericho. In the 9 x19 mm caliber the P99 can hold 16 rounds in the magazine plus one in the chamber.

You may wonder after reaching this part, if there is such a large variety of firearms in use and since the Bebop gang seem to be outgunned and outnumbered most of the times, how come they don't carry automatic weapons instead? Good question.
In the bounty hunters line of work, Spike & Co. have to perform a lot of detective work and thus have to blend in with the crowd so as not to spook their prey. This means being inconspicuous and not looking like you were loaded for bear!
Spike's mafia past, Faye's street smart attitude and Jet's police background belie the fact that they are actually expert marksmen in their own right enabling them to handle anything that comes their way despite often being outgunned and outnumbered by the opposition.
