.....Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA or GCA68) is a U.S. federal law that regulates the firearms industry and firearms owners. The GCA was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on October 22, 1968. The PPK/S was developed following the enactment of the Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA68) in the United States, the pistol's largest market.One of the provisions of GCA68 banned the importation of pistols and revolvers not meeting certain requirements of length, weight, and other "sporting" features into the United States. The PPK failed the "Import Points" test of the GCA68 by a single point. Walther addressed this situation by combining the PP's frame with the PPK's barrel and slide to create a pistol that weighed slightly more than the PPK.The additional ounce or two of weight of the PPK/S compared to the PPK was sufficient to provide the extra needed import points.

....Yeah; It was a FN Model 1910.380 ACP pistol that sparked off World War I, with the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
More like small pistols, designed for concealment and lightweight carry purposes. In the movie "Dr.No", while James Bond was sitting and waiting for Professor Dent to enter, The Pistol used by Bond was a Browning FN Model 1910, in .32 caliber to kill Dent. The Browning pistol was used, because it allowed for easy connection to a silencer.
