Bond was rarely shooting at soldiers in kit and he was an excellent marksman, almost always engaging at close range.
Stopping power was a non-issue for him concealment, and suppression were everything.
Accuracy and reliability would probably be factors too but those are pretty subjective.

In-universe, Bond is just wrong. Q knows much more about guns and gives him a better gun.
IRL Fleming didn't know that much about guns and got a fan-letter from a gun autist telling him what he was doing wrong.

>James Bond used a Beretta in the first five novels of the series by Ian Fleming. Bond's pistol is described as "a very flat .25 Beretta (the model number is never specified by Fleming) automatic with a skeleton grip," (i.e. side grip panels removed – frame only), and a threaded barrel to support a suppressor.[3]
>At the end of the fifth novel, From Russia, with Love, Bond is unable to draw the Beretta at a critical moment when its suppressor catches on the waistband of his trousers, and is very nearly killed as a result. This incident leads to an order from his superior officer, M, to start carrying a new duty weapon in the opening chapters of the sixth novel, Dr. No. Major Boothroyd, the MI6 armorer and "the greatest small-arms expert in the world" in M's opinion, insists that Bond trade it for a weapon with more stopping power.

>In reality, Ian Fleming received a fan letter dated May 23rd 1956 from Geoffrey Boothroyd, a Bond enthusiast and gun expert, criticizing the choice of firearm for Bond.
>Boothroyd called the Beretta "a lady's gun" and suggested several alternatives, one of which was the Walther.
>Fleming thanked Boothroyd by naming the MI6 armorer in Dr. No after him.
>In the film, the character of Boothroyd references his real-life counterpart's comments when he describes the Beretta: "Nice and light, in a lady's handbag. No stopping power."

>>65186906
>Bond is unable to draw the Beretta at a critical moment when its suppressor catches on the waistband of his trousers, and is very nearly killed as a result
How does replacing the Beretta with a Walther fix that problem?

>>65186921
It's a more of a, 'you almost died so we're looking at everything and highlighted the following issues', his gun being inadequate for his job being one of them.
He rarely uses his own gun in the books anyway, and half the time when he does draw it he gets disarmed before he can even fire it. Man with the Golden Gun is one of the few times (possibly only i cant remember) where he has it start to finish and actually uses it to kill the villain at the end.

He also tries to sell Bond on a .38 Airweight.

Then Dr. No captures him anyway and he fights the entire time with a stolen M1 Carbine.

>>65187301
In the film, in the book he's buried alive by Bond moving a ship loading crane over him and covering him in tons of bird guano. The books and the film vary greatly from each other, especially Moonraker.

>>65187247
Yeah, he mostly shoots underlings.

Man. I'm only on Thunderball (shot in the neck with a speargun during an SCUBA gear shiv fight between a nuclear sub crew and a gang of super-mobsters). Why are we cursed with (((modern reinterpretations))) and not kino postwar 50s period pieces?

>Killed by train going off a bridge
I'm pretty sure this is because he shoots the Las Vegas mafia train's driver after switching the tracks.

>Goldfinger
Oddjob goes out the plane window. He chokes Goldfinger out. Goldfinger is the most retarded one. They got like a thousand people to pretend to be dead so that they could catch a guy trying to rob Ft Knox.

>>65186896
It was fine, bond only actually needs a gun for executions. This just never comes up because bond is the guy that gets sent when their actual best agent, the never seen onscreen 008, is too busy; and as a result situations that should have ended with two shots to the back of the head and a clean getaway turn into drawn-out fistfights and killing people with piranhas.

Are Berettas really girl guns?

>>65187594
Bill spends a lot of time in the hospital, I guess he had.... all the time in the world.

>>65187716
No but anything less than 9mm is a girl caliber

>>65187794
I carry .22 short in a beretta minx. It is absolutely a girl caliber, but I fear no mouse, and I aim for the only part of the demon you can see in the dark, its eye.

>>65187794
>7.62x51mm
>girl caliber

I could see .25 being useful even unsuppressed as likely you'll be always subsonic and that does matter for shots. Way easier to shoot someone with a subsonic in an urban area even unsuppressed when most people are inside concrete and brick buildings.

Was Danial Craig a better Bond than Sean Connery? Some say yes. Did he have better writters? Some say no.

>>65188923
Pretty sure Craig has said that the one movie was like hell on earth for him because they filmed it during the writer's strike, and the director left it up to him to rewrite scenes to better fit the character.
That's got to fucking suck whole ass.
He also got seriously injured multiple times during his stint as bond, I know he tore both of his calf muscles at the same time filming one of the stunts.

>>65188923
casino royale is probably the most book accurate film and my personal favorite bond movie. the rest of the craig series was marred by changing directors bad writing and sam mendez.

>>65189203
The book is much more cold and merciless while the movie is a quite fancy Hollywood fest. To each his own.

>>65189364
Craig's 007 was just a living show of the downfall of Hollywood. The first one we have Eva Greene then some Ukrainian super model. Then there's this old hag M who pretended not to be the leading female actress but actually she was(stopped watching from here). Then some rather plain looking actress(es?) who could not even get a waitress #9 role in old 007 movies, became the leading actress I guess? I did remember that some MGM guys talked about the next 007 will be a black female right?

>>65189375
There were many, many things wrong with the movies and you're right that they got worse over time but the female leads are not at all the reason.
Though I agree that M shouldn't be a main character though you don't seem to have had a problem with it once it was a male M again.
Your real problem seems not to be the atrocious writing and plot holes but the choice to include women in general and ones you don't admire specifically.

Are you sure you wouldn't be happier on /tv/ complaining about movies with female leads?

He's certainly the one I actually bought as being the man named James Bond the most, but his films were also the most interested in that side of things.
He probably had to do the most carrying of the franchise on his back though. His period of films is super inconsistent and I think his performance is the main reason people tend to remember the good ones so fondly and don't mind overlooking the rougher ones.
>>65189050
Yeah QoS was a victim of the '08 writer's strike. I think it and Transformers 2 were the biggest releases that tripped over their own dick as a result of it, not that I think the latter would've exactly been high art with a writers' room anyway.

This thread got me thinking. Let’s say you were the armorer for the next James Bond film, and the filmmakers wanted you to replace his outdated PPK with something modern. What would be the ideal gun for James Bond if he had access to today’s guns?

The Brosnan films answered this for the late 90s by giving him a (at the time) brand new Walther P99, but this didn’t really go anywhere because Craig switched back to the PPK.

Assuming I was in charge, I’d probably go with the new 15 round Glock 43x.

>>65189610

Oh wait, that never happened because .25 ACP absolutely will kill you dead.

>>65189056
What the fuck is wrong with Sam Mendez? He directed American Beauty.

>>65189610
It's a decent enough choice for real world reasons, but I think you want something a little more visually interesting. The PPK being iconic at this point aside, it's also a really aesthetically pleasing gun and these days also acts as a bit of a deliberate aesthetic throwback to stand out from contemporaries and successors. There's a reason that the Daniel Craig films and now IOI game went back to the PPK.
I honestly don't know how you solve the problem with a new gun but you need something that reads as a lethal tool of a dangerous man more than the practical choice of a tactical operator. It's a niche at odds with most firearm trends of the past few decades.

But of course I'm thinking about filling the gap left by the PPK more than just a modern counterpart for the original brief.

>>65188923
>Sean Connery

https://litter.catbox.moe/kuibrx.webm

>>65186896
This scene always confused me. They just ordered him to start using a new gun right before sending him on a mission? Without giving himself the chance to test it and get used to it? I'd imagine since it's a more powerful gun, you'd really want to get used to aiming and firing it before taking it with him on a highly dangerous mission to Kingston.

>>65189663
It's not like they handed him a deagle brand deagle and told him he can only hipfire it or something. A little range time would probably be polite but he probably shouldn't be a 00 agent if he's not well versed in other small arms and able to handle a little more recoil than a pocket pistol.
As stated above the scene in the novel exists to both give an in-universe explanation for swapping the gun to something a little more fitting for the character and give a tip of the hat to the guy who wrote in about it, but the novel is also the sixth in the series. In the film it just ends up an odd little orphaned scene.

>>65189643
That’s an excellent point. Maybe a CZ Shadow 2 carry then? It’s about the same size as the P99, so Bond could realistically carry it without issues, and it being derived from a competition gun gives it a unique look. Aftermarket wood grip panels are available too, which would make it pop even more.

Bond using a gun from an ex-Warsaw Pact nation would also fit the “changing world” themes found in the Brosnan and Craig films

>Palmer: "Colt .32? Yes. I'd sooner have my automatic."

Wouldn't a subsonic surpessed .22lr be better for his role?

>>65187755
008 in lore is decisively more efficient than Bond, and is a simile for what the actual consumate wet work professional agent would be. Instead of plowing through lackeys in a botched infiltration he'd get HUMINT by throwing money at off duty lackies - ultimately just sniping Goldfingers ass from several hundred yards away before calling an airstrike or the SAS (to which he clearly had priority tasking) to mop up

>>65189700
If he were solely an assassin, yes. Bond’s assignments tend to be a lot more broad than that, though.

>>65186896
PPK is more steady to use after you had a few martinis.

>>65189680
I like the choice and the reasoning. Nice classic profile without the illumination fitted too. Only concern would be the spur, slide serration and wood grips together maybe reading a little too 1911. But at this point I'm thinking purely from the perspective of a screen armourer trying to make sure that a gun reads as exotic to an uninformed audience.
Solid choice.
>>65189700
Bond's sidearm is more an insurance policy than a means to quickly eliminate a single priority target up relatively close. He's an excellent shot but putting a little more energy and lead in a man than that is still probably preferable. If he's planning an assassination he probably either has some bullshit in his watch or the chance to get kitted for it.

>>65187594
So you're saying that the competent secret agent that just kills the target and goes home gets dispatched to defeat the competent villain that just kills the secret agent and goes on with his nefarious plan, while the incompetent secret agent that spends more time seducing the local women than trying to accomplish the mission gets sent to stop the incompetent villain that puts more effort into elaborate, easily foiled schemes to kill the secret agent than his actual evil plan?

>>65189765
From a purely mechanical standpoint, I agree that it would be a good choice for a spy. That’s what the Russians designed it for, after all. However, I can’t see bond carrying a gun from a nation hostile to Great Britain unless it’s something he picks up in the field

>>65189642
Spectre was garbage

>>65189610
No signature weapon. New local pistol issued by Q each movie, with a little glam closeup and exposition about why it's neat. Bond always comments about already having used one, and if he has a complaint then Q has fixed it somehow.

>>65189763
008 is out doing real cold war wet work shit for the most part - assassinations, stalking inna random jungle with an assault rifle killing Soviet advisors in some turd world African shithole, and basically just dabbing on Soviets and commies et al.

In 007's case a lot of the time it's "hey we got some wacky intel on this eccentric jetsetting rich dude having some cockamamie plan that undermines her majesty interests - go check it out."
Bond is clearly better for Intel gathering/sleuthing and non-conventional out the box shit.
008 kills motherfuckers and goes on extreme high risk missions casually behind the iron curtain, including often into active war zones (it was heavily implied in one of the books he was in Vietnam at the time unofficially and it was obv during the war)

>>65189957
Throw in a scene where Q gently turns down bond suggesting a PPK or Beretta pocket pistol and its solid.
>Why Bond its not the cold war anymore we have better options than that

>>65189982
>her majesty interests
It was a very odd feeling realising that the new game is the first entry in the entire franchise not under ol' Liz. Everything from the first book through No Time To Die was under her reign.

>>65189770
The reason is also 008, the best man for the job, is usually behind the Iron Curtain, or recovering from conducting major wet work direct action behind the iron curtain or in an active war zone (Nam, Biafra/Congo, pick your poison).

Bonds lucky he even got SAS support the few times he did like in Dr No, as 008 had clear priority tasking for SAS/SBS

>>65189763
A 008 movie where some dipshit richfag actually whacks 007 would be fun but it would be more of a 30 minute long short movie.

>>65189957
Switching back to the PPK (well really sticking with it after Casino Royale) was the dumbest shit ever esp. when Casino Royale started with Craig having a P99.

>>65189998
Craig's Bond is closest thematically to what 008 would be like (but still not there)- more professional and coldly brutal, more cool confidence than gentlemanly playboy.
Of course they fucked up Craig's last 2 movies desu and self sacrifice is decidedly un-bondly of Bond

>>65190005
008 would probably steal the rich dudes plane, load it with explosives and dead goon bodies and casually crash it into the rich dudes mansion while he's having some gala event there. Imagine the Daniel Craig coy grin as 008 dangles from a parachute watching the carnage below.
The one solid thing we know about 008 is he was utterly efficient overkill

In the backpages of the newspaper "disgruntled RichCorp employee crashes plane into CEO's mansion"

>>65190016
Yeah, Craig's iteration comes off more as a suave killer and feels a lot more grounded as a result. He feels like someone you could actually picture doing questionably legal wetwork in a foreign country. Always impressed with the sense of depth to the man beyond that he brought though. He's cold but he's not a robot, which makes the coldness more unsettling when it does surface.
Both Dalton and specifically Goldeneye's version of Brosnan have a little of that edge too.
I was always a little sad they never tried recapturing the characterisation and tone from Goldeneye, I think it's the best job they did of convincing me this playboy can also shoot a man in cold blood. Brosnan's fun to watch in the later films but he's basically a cartoon in a self-parody.

>>65186896

>Brosnan's fun to watch in the later films but he's basically a cartoon in a self-parody.
They made the same mistake they always do as a Bond actor goes on of getting more and more over the top to the point where Bond seems more like a system for moving Q-branch's deus ex machina machines to the correct place

>>65190057
Wetwork is usually just bumrushing a guy while hes taking a shit you dont get into firefights. Bond doesnt really do that.

>>65190079
Despite starting with one of the best films in the franchise, the later Brosnan films give off the feeling they're kind of insecure about existing alongside Mission Impossible. Like if instead of compete they just ceded the territory and went harder on the tongue in cheek super-spy stuff.

>>65190091

>>65190101
Goldeneye was 007 being given work for 008 as a prank.

>>65190126
In book bonds the other 00's are 008 - a Profesional assassin/commando/direct action overkill kind of guy, and 0011 - who's usually running disguised deep cover ops or going dark undercover for extended periods of time collecting intel ie he's a fucking ghost.
0011 is the kind of spy who knows over 10 languages and has entire alternate personas and IMO is probably a real stud. His ops take lots of TIME, meaning he likely has multiple families with multiple women all over the world, eventually abandoned for queen and country when the mission is complete.

007 is a bumbling jack of all trades, master of none, who gets oddball assignments who more often than not is incredibly fucking lucky.

All the other 00's were usually later movie adds (like 006) and were generally expendable or traitors to.advance a plot point.

>>65190154
Literally every time Bond has to go up against the Soviets its because 008 is either busy blowing stuff up or is recovering from getting hurt blowing stuff up. And that stuff is usually commie stuff in the first place.

Bond has a formula that must be followed and there's certain to be a committee ghost-writing your output.
Aside from anything else, there's a metric fuck-tonne of product placement to guarantee and you're burdened with continuity from the previous movies (in your mini arc) and with set-ups for the next one.
I suspect there's very little creative freedom in directing a Bond film and loads of studio interference.

>>65189663
>They just ordered him to start using a new gun right before sending him on a mission?

>008 in lore is decisively more efficient than Bond, and is a simile for what the actual consumate wet work professional agent would

>It's unknown if Javier Bardem's Silva in Skyfall was technically a 00 but he was former a MI6 agent
He must have been, he was very familiar with M, had (or believed he had) a personal relationship with her and considered himself a peer to Bond.
Admittedly, that could be narcissism and it's only implied but it's clear that he felt was on Bond's level and a predecessor of Bond.

>>65189957
I like this idea a lot. Perhaps Q would source whatever pistol and ammo load the local police force are using to make Bond’s shots blend in

>>65190487
M never confirmed nor denied he was a 00 It was known he excelled in cyber security (hacked the chinese, M gave him up to the PLA) but clearly wasn't JUST a hacker, his knowledge and expertise is 00 worthy

I'd also like to point out Silva ultimately succeeded in killing M and bringing MI6 to its knees, where Bond utterly failed to stop him, esp. considering Silva was prepared to die (and did)

He had a ppk in the second chase scene in quantum of solace, which is immediately after casino royal

I'd suggest the P365 Luxe as a modern Bond pistol.

>>65191055
How’s he going to suppress it?

>>65191064
It's a movie, so they just stick a mock suppressor on.

>>65191086
how? by slotting it into the comp ports?

>>65189610
Uberti 1851 navy. London model of course.

>>65191064
surely Q branch could gin up some kind of exotic internally-threaded solution or something

The two quintessential traits of a Bond gun are that it is
>tiny
>fits a suppressor

A handgun must fit these requirements.
>Sights?
Bond point-shoots in almost every pull of the trigger
>recoil?
Bond might get into a shoot out but he never mag-dumps on a target
>stopping power?
Bond either hits and kills or he misses due to external circumstances

Beretta Nano. Go full circle on the micro Beretta. Find out a way to get a sleek suppressor on it and we're golden for James Bond in [CURRENT YEAR].

tbf he does have to shoot a *lot* of mooks

>>65190433
>and 004.
004 isn't a traitor, you're thinking of the assassin who kills him

>>65190709
genuinely anudda shoah

>>65191104
Probably just having a rod on the end of the suppressor that plugs into the barrel.
That's how they usually do it when they don't have a threaded barrel.

>>65190928
He was supposed to have his p99 back for quantum of solace

>>65191284
The game rogue agent made 004 into a traitor

>>65190695
He said Bond, not SPECTRE.

>>65186906
you sound like an AI, and also you know literally nothing of james bond because he literally shoots at soldiers and people kitted better than soldiers all the time???
>>65191471
>>65190615
this is some weird ass head cannon shit youve come up with because at no point was craig ever going to get the p99
>>65189610
something like a FK BRNO or maybe a Maxim 9, practicality and features should trump all
>>65186896
I think going to 32acp is better because its a more common round, stopping power is bull tho. In terms of accuracy for sure the walther is a much better built gun, stiffer/thicker barrel, and 30% longer than the beretta. That with 32 having better ballistics, its definitely a more accurate pistol by a long shot.

>you sound like an AI, and also you know literally nothing of james bond because he literally shoots at soldiers and people kitted better than soldiers all the time???
He doesn't use his pistol for that, he commandeers local heavy weapons or something.

>>65191829
Both the FK BRNO and the Maxim 9 would be perfect for a bond movie, but I’m not sure they’d be a good fit to replace Bond’s gun because neither of them are really concealable. They strike me more as villain guns (especially the BRNO, it’d be perfect for a Scaramanga. -like assassin character)

Agreed that the FK BRNO needs to be worked in to the Bond storyline, perhaps as a villain small arm
(maybe ? the polymer version; or perhaps Field Pistol for a designated assassin)

"We took your 9mm 15+1 modern sidearm because you were suspended due to causing a diplomatic incident, were giving you a 7 shot .380 because
we're sending you into a low risk mission at a casino anyway where a smaller gun makes more sense (not like p99 is big anyway).
>completes mission
>doesn't get his gun back
>stuck with 1930's sidearm for nostalgia reasons
Why don't we just give him a baby hi power instead

>>65191829
Again Craig started Casino Royale with a P99

>>65192309
according to IMFDB, craig never used the PPK in casino royale. He only gets it in Quantum of Solace, after the casino mission

>>65191243
Solid choice
