ryangolfvr6 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 for me i think bond would go for a a glock 26 small and compact easy to carry under his dinner jacket or suit common ammo type for those times hes running out of ammo which he never does lol Link to post Share on other sites
danielsilva Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Well if we're talking about Bond all Glocks are automatically out of the question. Link to post Share on other sites

hwagan Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 what about the browning hipower its still british issue. I could see Bond carrying a hi-power... Is there a compact version of it? Standard full-size would definitely ruin the cut of his jacket... Link to post Share on other sites
ryangolfvr6 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 no sure about a hi power with a suppressor on it though? think it depends on what time period bonds set in is it the early 80's or 90's or the 2000's? Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I could see Bond carrying a hi-power... Is there a compact version of it? Standard full-size would definitely ruin the cut of his jacket... No but perhaps a: Browning BDA 380, carries 13 rounds of .380 (9mm Short), uses the design of the Beretta 84f and mates it to a Browning action plus it use a double action mech similar to that of the PPK and is not that much bigger than the Walther PP. I'm not sure, but didnt Jessica Biel use the PX4 Compact in the A-Team? I think its the pistol shes holding when the A-Team "borrows" the C130. Yes, she does. Looks about right in her hand though. Sig Pro = no idea Bourne, carries a SP2009 in the first one and a SP2022 in the second at certain parts. ASP Considering that in the non-Ian Fleming books Bond is gievn an ASP then why not. Good little cut down S&W M39 with a special Guttersnipe sight and 6-7 rounds of 9x19mm. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
ryangolfvr6 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 maybe bond could carry some bigger guns for when he needs to blow up a gas cylinder and a 9mm would just bounce off like a m500 or a desert eagle 0.50 ae Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Actually it would be a case of puncturing a gas cylinder rather than the force of the hit so a smooth FMJ 9mm should do the trick, or for the extremes i am sure a 4.6mm or 5.7mm would do it. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Cylinder & Slide do a custom cut down Hi-Power they call the Pathfinder that looks very cool. A definite contender I think. Link to post Share on other sites

'FireKnife' You'd need an incendiary round as well as penetrating it... Shooting a propane tank = No explosion... Mythbusters take the fun out of everything. Link to post Share on other sites

Mythbusters take the fun out of everything. True, but it will let the contents into the air, gas cylinder and firearms going of near them, especially revolvers, big bang. Though yeah that whole shooting a cylinder on its own does nothing aside from let the pressurised gas out. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
paranoiddroid Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 custom cutdown highpower or maybe a detonic sized hipower, a Q original based on the browning? I mean the hipower uis brit isssue but something slick and tweaked not strictly a gadget but.... Link to post Share on other sites

I mean the hipower uis brit isssue but something slick and tweaked not strictly a gadget but.... Would not the P228/9 be better then? Present issue in Brit forces. Plus it is compact, modern, comes in 3 common calibers and uses the magazines of the larger model in a pinch. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
paranoiddroid Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 the hipower is still on issue as well afaik Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 the hipower is still on issue as well afaik It is, but is being phased out slowly by the P226/8/9. Typical Brit army, about 20 years behind everyone else in what we build. Look how long it took us to mass issue a 5.56mm then how long it took to get the damn thing working properly. Personally the HP-35 would great for the 50's books but as a modern sidearm many better guns exist. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
joss1 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 1911a1, ok, maybe ammo's not that easy to find, but what's a secret agent without extra ammo. it could even be one of the 9mm colts. stylish, sophisticated, and as it's single stacked, easier to conceal than a sig. and for the "britishness" you could just chamber it in 455, like the ww1 1911s.

Danke Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hey just so I can follow along here are you guys taking what he's carried by the chronology of the literature, or the films? Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hey just so I can follow along here are you guys taking what he's carried by the chronology of the literature, or the films? Seems to be that most are discussing the films. However i am looking more at the books and what Bond would carry were it perhaps the 50-60's. Maybe a HK4 or M1910. However if basing it in the 50's and 60's most of the enemy would be Soviet or certainly be using there ammo so why not a Makarov? 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
boomheadshot (infidel) Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 If we are talking Sig Pro I vote for a 2340, nice and compact, smooth and sleek so easy to conceal and draw, and 40 S&W. Sorted Link to post Share on other sites
paranoiddroid Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 no just no cant have a yank cartridge. how about a webley? Link to post Share on other sites
heavri Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 That is possibly the most un-Bond you can get really. And i like 1911s 'FireKnife' I know but 1911s are awesome ._. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 no just no cant have a yank cartridge. how about a webley? Why not the .40? After the 9mm and .45 it is the most common medium frame cartridge, even if it is made by stupid Americans. And no to the Webley, Bond is a true automatics man, only going for a revolver when he has no choice in the matter. I know but 1911s are awesome ._. They are but they just don't fit Bond as a charcater, even the shorter Detonics wouldn't make sense. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Does anyone in Europe even use the .40? Link to post Share on other sites
Danke Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I don't think 007 tends to worry about doing a battlefield pickup for spare ammo. He's not adverse to grabbing an opponent's weapon to use against them or to lay a false trail but going as far to use a crude Eastern bloc pistol as a daily driver goes against the grain of the character. Bond likes the best things in life. He likes fast powerful cars, strong drink, cigarettes, and lots of women. His clothing and watches are always the best. His pistol has to fit his life.

Perch Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I do repeat myself, what about a Sphinx 3000 compact? holds 14 Rounds (9mm) It's something else and definately got the looks Link to post Share on other sites
