James Bond's Gun: Past, Present, and Future
Now that we're out of the Barretta and Harpoon gun era, and into a more realistic time line, what weapons would you like to see in the hands of our man, 007? And what weapons has he used that you liked, or you thought 'fit him' (or didn't fit)?
I loved Craig with the UMP .45, and I'd like to see it make a return. It fits Craig well, and was the center of the advertising campaign for Quantum it seemed, showing up on the teaser poster and the beginning of the film.
As for Craig's side arm, I'd love to see the Beretta Px4 Storm, and have Bond return to his pre-ppk days of a Beretta. Its fit for a spy, has a good capacity, light weight, and is easy to conceal and suppress.
I'd also like the harpoon gun make a return. (NOT) Though Connery seemed to make it useful.
Also, the MI6 security guards, and the special police units in SKYFALL have been seen with a short barreled version of the G36. Perhaps Bond could raid a villains lair with this excellent rifle, or perhaps the UMP .45 in a future installment.

That would be interesting. Perhaps the Rex?
I quite like the look of the MP5. Typical Bond henchman gun, though.
And its relatively outdated. Even H&K have unofficially tried to replace it with the MP7:

I checked on 007.com the welcome message http://www.007.com/welcome/ with Michael G. Wilson where it looks like DC using a ump.45 with a silencer. Looks really great.
Not sure if its got anything to do with SkyFall but certainly hope so.
Did you read the spoiler? Its a big one, but I'm thinking Bond will HAVE to pick up a heavier weapon than his pistol is SKYFALL.
And
I hadn't thought about applying that to Bond, but how cool would that be? I think it'd be terrifying for Bond, though!
I'm not sure what gun this is. Based on other evidence, I believe this is Rapace's character. But the gun is interesting.
It has what looks to be a handle on top of it, like you'd find on Light Machine Guns, but the body is too small to be that. The clip is straight, which is a characteristic of the UMP, but if you watch the video, it doesn't match the shape. Its a mystery gun, we'll have to wait and see :)
I pictured something very similar in my head! Nice shots of hundreds of bullets flying into the car. Would keep Craig's tradition of trashing everything.
rumored elephant/buffalo gun?
note the stock indention in the photos matches.
Heckler and Koch M416 AR.
One in the Glock family. (There's a Glock 17, 19, 22, etc and they all look the same)

This gun here:
It's notable in Dr. No that many of the weapons swap between the PPK, various revolvers, and other handguns for the Colt 1911 for whatever reasons.
Since I'm updating this thread, what suggestions would we have for Bond's personal arsenal? Feel free to add some of the weapons in Skyfall if you'd like (I haven't seen the effing film yet :( )
It's as concealable as the PPK, but carries a bigger round and more of them.
I have heard that gun mentioned before though-- it does seem to be the best of both worlds: resembles the P99- yet is the size of the PPK
I'd LOVE to see Bond use the ASP
Plus, the Craig films always have him dropping his gun in exchange for a fist fight. It get's boring.
I'd love a scene where all of a sudden the music builds up, Bond is attacked, it looks to be a good fist fight and he just knocks the guy back and shoots him.
Otherwise, don't bother with the pistol.
It's not that long, but in SF
The 9mm in any guise short or Parabellum has had it's day, like the .223/5.56mm (armalite) both have a problem with stopping power.
My choice in a modern handgun would always be a good old fashioned .45ACP but in something modern like a Glock 30, Springfield XDM .45 compact or H&K Tactical .45 Compact.
The .45 calibre is without a doubt the king of stopping power, it knocks down the target first time every time!
Those are my subpar photography skills at work.
Plus it's dead-accurate. I love mine.
I've owned a couple of those. They're an interesting curio, but not particularly effective guns. The guttersnipe sight isn't very accurate, the finish wears if you look at it funny, and it only carries seven rounds. Plus the balance feels all wonky, since they were cut down from their original length. I think Gardner bought into the manufacturers' advertising pitch, when there were already better, mass-manufactured alternatives out there (namely the P5 Compact and H&K P7). IMHO, of course.
I want him to continue using the PPK forever. If that doesn't happen, I hope he at least continues to use a Walther.
Many options:
PPQ
PPS
PK380
...and if he absolutely has to use something other than a Walther, I say he goes back to a Beretta
85FS Cheetah
...or a Smith and Wesson
M&P Compact
But then my PPK Airsoft was $13.
