QWhose gun did Ethan Hunt find in the sand at the end of the film?
AHis own gun. For the assault on Bare Island, Ethan carried two guns...a Beretta 92F carried in a shoulder holster and a H & K USP carried in a holster by the small of his back. When the two motorcycles crash, Hunt's USP falls onto the beach. When Hunt and Ambrose start fighting, there is a close-up of Hunt's Beretta falling out of his holster. This is the gun Ambrose finds at the end of the film. Hunt uses the other gun, the USP. There are many viewers who maintain that this is a continuity mistake and cite the fact that Hunt used TWO Berettas in the BioCyte shootout, not a Beretta and a USP. They say the gun Hunt fires at the end belongs to Ambrose, even though he was using a Browning BDA during the motorcycle chase. The decision to have Hunt use a different gun at the end was possibly taken to avoid confusion by having the two men fire the same model of gun. The shooting script states that the gun Hunt finds in the sand at the end of the film belongs to Hunt.

QHow does Ambrose plan to benefit from expected rise in Biocyte stock?
AAmbrose buys 480,000 call option contracts, each giving him the right to buy 100 shares of Biocyte from the contract writer at specified price of $31/share on or before a specified date. Thus he owns call options on 48mn (100*480,000) shares of Biocyte, having paid a total of $30mn for these options. This payment (for the right to buy a stock at a predetermined price) is called a call premium. So the call premium per share works out to $0.625. When the stock price of Biocyte is supposed to hit $200 as per his expectation, he plans to exercise his options, walking away with a profit of $8.08bn! calculated as -> ((200 - 31 - 0.625)*48mn)!
