The main thing to remember is that his PPK was only a .32.

The guns of James Bond have been cool but the cars and the gadgets, now that's what I want. Anyone know how to put me in touch with Q?

'77 Lotus Esprit.  Kinda wimpy with a 4 cylinder and all, but sure makes points when it can turn into a submarine!  ;D


http://www.lotusespritworld.com/EOtherstuff/Submarine.html

Dont forget.  Bond was FORCED to give up his .25 Beretta to take the .32 Walther!  "It's place is in a ladies handbag" I believe they told him when they took his Beretta after it had "jammed on him several times".  Then the Walther jammed on him in "The spy who loved me", letting Jaws get away.  ::)  JEESH!

OH, and they told him "the .32 has a delivery like a brick through a plate glass window"...   :-\  Ummmmmm, wellllllll.....  He WAS holding a BB gun in the promo's for the first movie.  So I guess....  :-\

Looks like he may be up to using 9mm these days...


But then he DID have a .44 Mag he used to shoot a zombie in one of the movies.  So he's alright.  ;D

Not to comitt heresy, or diss Bond, but honestly two things need to be said. The first is that the newest Bond (I don't know what his name is and don't care as he's anti 2A and not Sean Connery),but he is a lot closer to the Vic Mackey, Jack Bauer  type 007 that Ian Flemming had in mind than Roger Moore ever managed. The question remains though, given the fact, that Ian Flemming had Bond as a cold blooded killer,and given the time period of the late sixties, why the HELL didn't he carry a Browning Hi-power in 9mm or a .45 as opposed to a candy assed .380? (I could ask the same of Ruger LCP owners, but that would be unkind). ;D

"In the first Bond movie 'Dr No'  the armourer from Q branch, Major Boothroyd is seen issuing 007 with his now legendary Walther PPK which replaces his much loved Beretta.

This immediate change to Bond's gun was originally inspired by a letter that Ian Fleming received in the 1950's from a Mr. Geoffrey Boothroyd who was a firearms expert based in Glasgow, UK, who wrote to Fleming thus: " I like everything about your James Bond character except his deplorable taste in weapons, a .25 caliber Beretta is utterly useless as well as being a lady's gun...and not a very nice lady at that "

From one of Eric's original links.
