&lt;div&gt;==Bond's main gun==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I know we can see that Bond has chosen the faithful PPK as his sidearm, but I would love too see a return of the P99. It is the use of it in Bond films that made it a preferred personal sidearm of choice [[User:Fixer|Fixer]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I want to see other Walter guns. There's been quite a few new ones since the last movie that came out. I'd love to see the PPQ in action [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 13:34, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'd rather him use a SIG Sauer P226 as a bigger pistol like he did in QoS. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 13:58, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
:Nah, I think he needs a more unique pistol, something to mark that only Bond would use. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 17:16, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
same. maybe the SIG or he pulls a [[Collateral]] with the [[Heckler &amp;amp; Koch USP]]--[[User:simmons 8492|simmons 8492]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is anyone else puzzled by how old and haggard Daniel Craig looks in that picture? --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 15:41, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I still have never liked the new Bond. All the Bonds before Craig were the classic fictional &amp;quot;spy&amp;quot; with all the charms and awesomeness that all women want him and men want to be him. I know REAL spies don't usually act like the classic Bond fashion with super gadgets and all but that's why we love him, not for the realism but for the fantasy it really is. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 17:16, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Daniel Craig does look older in this picture. I would rather see the new PPS as his sidearm because it's simply an evolution thing. From PPK to P5 to P99, Bond has usually always used a Walther. To have him go back to the PPK, while is nice to see, is not something that make sense this day in age.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Actually in the Jeffrey Deaver Bond novel &amp;quot;Carte Blanche&amp;quot; Bond does use the Walther PPS [[User:Charon68|Charon68]] 17:35, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Daniel Craig has not aged well in my opinion. In Layer Cake when he was early thirties, he looked quite young. When I saw the promo picture for Skyfall, I couldn't believe it was him for a second. I would have liked Bond to sport a P22 or PK380 in Skyfall, but as is life :( [[User:Fixer|Fixer]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Charon68, that is what I was referring to the book. --[[User:Mattattack07|Mattattack07]] 17:43, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If bond is former SAS soldier, as suggested in Casino Royale, then he would have used a PPK so is a realistic choice.  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 18:04, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Personally though I had thought the PPK was withdrawn from service after the attempted kidnapping of Princess Margaret in 1974.  As cool as the thing looks the cartridge is woefully underpowered and would barely make a scratch with modern body armor. [[User:Charon68|Charon68]] 18:08, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
:That incident was with the police Royalty Protection branch, and at that point the PPK was carried as a primary weapon. It wasn't a power issue, the gun jammed when the protection officer tried to return fire, and was immediately and totally withdrawn by the police due to this freak occurrence. It is still used (or was still used until relatively recently) by the SAS as an ankle gun during close protection work or for undercover work (such as in Northern Ireland), and I think there is also a hidden pocket specifically for the PPK in the SAS CRW coveralls. Main pistols used by SAS are the P226 and P228. Personally I would like to see bond with a P228, or its successor the P229 SAS.  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 18:30, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
::On the Casino Royale website it says that Bond is former SBS. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 18:59, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::Personally I always thought a worth successor to the PPK would have been the HK P7.  [[User:Charon68|Charon68]] 20:19, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
:::Bond being ex-UKSF has been canon since at least ''[[Tomorrow Never Dies]]''; Bond can be seen wearing a pair of UKSF Parachute wings on the sleeve of his No.1C uniform, as in [[:File:Usairforce.jpg|This shot]]. Plus he uses a P7 in at least one of the novels. [[User:The Wierd It|The Wierd It]] 13:34, 3 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think we're torn on the ideal of a the Bond gun as being something small and still powerful to what is more practical. In a real sense, Bond should always be carrying full size guns or larger guns because of the situation. Why a small gun when his outfit could offer concealment on larger frame weapons and with modern day suppressors, you can't say a small gun suppresses better. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 21:08, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the novels written by Raymond Benson, Bond would carry a PPK if he needed concealment with a suppressor and he would keep a P99 in his cars or when he was in a tactical situation where he needed more firepower. That was something that was used in the game Bloodstone and would be a nice medium. --[[User:Mattattack07|Mattattack07]] 22:07, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bond is a Naval Commmander, and personally I would like him to use a P228, as it is compact enough for undercover work and has a large enough magazine (13 rounds in 9mm) to see him through a gunfight --[[User:Taurus96|Taurus96]] 12:54, 5 February 2012 (CST).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The p228 is not bond 007 style. The thing is that the PPK is the classic bond gun, but with a magazine size of at max 8 rounds, it is not very good choice. He could use one of two pistols: the P226 Navy in .40 S&amp;amp;W (since he is an naval commander) or a usp compact in 9 mil. The usp compact is good for concealment and it offers a larger magazine (13 rounds) compared to the ppk's 8.--[[User:Coltmth|Coltmth]] 15:28, 5 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;he P226 Navy in .40 S&amp;amp;W (since he is an naval commander)&amp;quot; Wrong Navy, plus the 226 Navy is (I believe) only chambered in 9mm NATO. [[User:The Wierd It|The Wierd It]] 16:21, 5 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If anything the PPK is a good backup gun nothing else. I personally wouldn't even consider using a PPK as my primary even if I was using a compact gun just because their is simply better compact guns with better stopping power then the PPK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guys, we're missing the point. It doesn't matter what guns are better choices than a PPK. Most guns out there are. Bond may be a former SBS or SAS or whatever, but he NEEDS to carry a Walther. For 50 years, he has carried three different guns, all Walther. I am in huge favor of him carrying both a P99 and a PPK depending on the situation, although I would probably get over it if he replaced the PPK with a PPS. I think a lot of people want to see Bond carry guns that THEY like, but don't really fit Bond's persona. All the guns suggested are combat sidearms, while Bond only needs something to serve for a CCW. If he needs more firepower, there is the P99.--[[User:--JazzBlackBelt--|--JazzBlackBelt--]] 21:44, 5 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I totally agree with JazzBlackBelt. The P99 is the best for Bond and the PPK makes for a great backup gun.--[[User:Coltmth|Coltmth]] 22:25, 5 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If they want to be really faithful, they should give him back the Beretta pocket pistol he carried in the first few novels. But now I'm being overly sarcastic and need to calm down. [[User:The Wierd It|The Wierd It]] 05:30, 6 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While I agree that there are better choices then a PPK, I wouldn't want to step in front of one in the hands of a professional like Daniel Craig's Bond.  The PPK is iconic and identified with Bond as much as the dinner suit and the Aston Martin; it was chosen by Fleming because its name &amp;quot;rolled off the tongue&amp;quot; and for its sleek looks.  The producers did a good job in Quantum of Solace mixing up the traditional (PPK) with the more modern (P226).  And since I am new to this site, if someone could tell me how to leave a signature, I would appreciate it :)&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks Funkychinaman for the signature info!--[[User:SIG 1911 A Professional&amp;amp;#39;s Weapon|SIG 1911 A Professional&amp;amp;#39;s Weapon]] 22:58, 7 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don't know if you folks have seen this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuO34MDezzU&lt;br /&gt;
It looks like folks have been discussing the gun Bond should carry for 50 years. [[User:APS221|APS221]] 00:47, 8 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They should follow Jeffery Deaver's advice and choose the gun from the book Carte Blanche, the book that was going to be adapted into this film originally. Shame it's not going to be-the gun's a Walther PPS .40 S&amp;amp;W. It betters the PPK in calibers and capacity (if you either have an extended magazine or choose 9mm instead of .40 calibre.), and matches it exactly on size. Also, I believe Bond should have a larger handgun inside his vehicle and for use on covert operations. The PP9, while Bond has been using it before and it has a good capacity, is outdated and still a 9mm. I believe it should be a full-sized handgun, still a Walther, maybe the P22 .22 LR, as it is quieter suppressed than the 9mm PP9. I'm not sure weather .22 LR is more or less powerful than 9mm though...anyone? As for the Bond gun debating, it's never going to stop completely. If Bond books and films carry on being made for hundreds more years, better and more concealable guns in better calibers with better suppressors will become available, and people like us will always disagree with the choice, unless the people in charge of firearms choosing at the Bond films come across this site and choose what we say, which is unlikely. The PPK, whilst good in it's day, is severly outdated (it's nearly twice as old as the actor holding it!), the caliber is ineffective compared to the .40 S&amp;amp;W at penetration and damage, and the PPS can be suppressed just as effectively with modern suppressor technology, compared to the .380 ACP with WWII suppressor technology, and is the same size exactly-Walther claim so themselves. However, the big cheeses at the Bond office just see the PPK not as ineffective, or underpowered, or old, but as a symbol of Bond. I think we may have to put up with it for many years to come, until either they see some sense or are fired. I'm sure Boothroyd's turning in his grave. Alasdair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The thing with Bond is that he needs to use a gun with decent size caliber. If I would choose a new gun for Bond, I would choose the Kimber Warrior, which is meant for marksmen like Bond. Glocks are good, but are not suited for Bond. The Walther P99 as of the guns Bond has used is the best one that he has used. --[[User:Coltmth|Coltmth]] 10:31, 8 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I want to see him with a PPS or something like that. The PPK is nice, but this isn't Ian Flemming's bond anymore. He is a more realistic action hero. A PPS in a IWB holster with a P99 or PPQ in his car. I like Craig as Bond because he is more gritty and honestly, less of a man whore. I have experience with a PPS and I think Bond would too.--[[User:Yo dawg 111|Yo dawg 111]] 11:25, 8 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm a huge fan of the Walther, and i would love to see him use his P99 again, i got a replica of it myself and it's really good. Especially is a Vega Holster!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the book &amp;quot;Devil May Care&amp;quot;, Bond looses his PPK frequently and is mostly seen using, of all things an [[M1911]]. That would be pretty cool. [[User:Scattergun|Scattergun]] 14:55, 8 April 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While I maintain my opinion that the PPK, properly supplemented at appropriate times like in Quantum, is the only gun for Bond, I am sympathetic to the argument that he should be equipped with a more modern weapon.  Therefore, I nominate the new SIG SAUER P224.  It is of an appropriate size (unlike the Walther P99), has the proven professional pedigree of the P220/226 line, is of high quality (unlike the poor reputation-dogged Walther), isn’t the everyone’s gun the GLOCK is, and has some style and panache that the PPS, GLOCK, USP, and their polymer look-alikes lack.  I would prefer 9mm for an agent operating worldwide, but the P224 is available in .40 and .357 SIG (now that’s a serious caliber).  --[[User:SIG 1911 A Professional&amp;amp;#39;s Weapon|SIG 1911 A Professional&amp;amp;#39;s Weapon]] 23:01, 9 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Of course the big problem with a non-Walther gun is that apparently the franchise has a fairly nice sponsorship deal going with Carl Walther GmbH. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 23:09, 9 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the franchise has a big sponsorship with Walther, then why don't Walther make a gun especially designed for James Bond? It could be tailored to meet his needs (suggestions as to what they might be, please), and then they could release it for sale to the public. They'd make a fortune by selling it to James Bond fans, and serious shooters if it was very good. Q could make a big deal in-film about how good it is, and how Walther have made it especially for him. Good idea? Alasdair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Well, because imagine the PR when the gun made specially for James Bond is used to hold up a bank, they'd never hear the end of it, nevermind the kind of &amp;quot;MGM is arming our kids!&amp;quot; nonsense they'd get anyway. That and if you're a gun company exec and someone pitches that idea to you, your first reply would be &amp;quot;why not just have him use something we already make?&amp;quot; [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 06:55, 10 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The whole debate about whether he should be using a PPK should be treated in the same way as whether it is realistic for Bond to engage in so many scuffles in nice, taper-fit Tom Ford suits and Church leather shoes. The cut is simply unrealistic for someone who wishes to conceal serious firepower. Given his obvious fondness for the Italian cut in his suits, it is fitting that Daniel Craig/James Bond should choose the PPK instead of the P99 he had used in the first movie, but, alas, such weapons remained adequate today for a Walter Mitty who would not see much more action. Since the 1970s, an operator carrying a PPK would simply not be taken seriously by fellow professionals, and would be laughed out of the Special Forces Club. A serious operator would simply rather wear a suit with the horrendous sack-like American cut, than do without a true combat pistol. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A former SBS operator would really be more likely to carry a SiG-Sauer P226. He might sacrifice two rounds to save 0.1 inch of butt length by carrying the P228, but  someone who really means to can conceal either under a suit jacket. Even women operators could conceal a Heckler and Koch MP5K under their jacket. So the producer or director really missed a chance here to turn James Bond from being a mere walking advertisement for luxury brands to a more serious character (like back in Casino Royale).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, by the way, using an Olympic Arms K23B is the ultimate mark of un-seriousness in a professional. Someone get that girl a HK 416.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:One word for you - TRADITION. Bond's always used a PPK (except in the first few novels), it's pretty much his signature gun. I'm glad they've gone back to it over the P99, which just never had the same classic feel to it.--[[User:Leigh Burne|Leigh Burne]] 10:45, 1 August 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course. But that still means that the more edgy and realistic Daniel Craig reboot, which started so promisingly in Casino Royale, has now officially gone off the rails and U-turned back into cheesy entertainment territory. If that's the case, please give me back Pierce Brosnan's easy charm, Roger Moore's humour, or Sean Connery sheer animal charisma, not Daniel Craig's brooding sulkiness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I don't see how you can claim they've totally rejected the serious tone and gone back to being cheesy fun JUST because he's using the PPK again. Especially as you haven't even seen the film! I mean, do you not realise what a ridiculous jump in logic that is? That's like saying &amp;quot;Because Bond has a beard in one scene they're going to bring back Madonna.&amp;quot;--[[User:Leigh Burne|Leigh Burne]] 02:51, 2 August 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

== What Happened??? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Casino Royale (2006)]], Bond had good trigger discipline and kept good two handed grips on his guns, an now we have shots of him in a footchase pointing his PPK in front of him with his finger on the trigger... call me a safety Nazi but I expect better from a trained agent....--[[User:Yo dawg 111|Yo dawg 111]] 11:35, 8 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You mean the footchase at Tower Hill? Maybe, and correct me if i'm wrong he just shot someone....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm pretty sure Bond was chasing/shooting at someone so that would explain it [[User:Bristow8411|Bristow8411]] 17:38, 19 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==CO19 holster weapons==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lads from CO19 seem too have a Glock in their holsters. The norm for police carrying sidearms in the UK is a Glock 17, so its safe too assume that they are also Glock 17s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Fixer|Fixer]]&lt;br /&gt;

==Trailer unknown gun==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The teaser trailer dropped today, and I have clocked an unknown gun around 1:11. It is scoped and suppressed, but I am unable too identify it. Can someone have a look and possibly screencap it? Cheers lads&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Fixer|Fixer]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It was an odd looking thing, whatever it is. It is mostly in shadow but you get one good whole weapon shot of it when there is a flash of light:&lt;br /&gt;
:[[File:Skyfall sniper rifle.jpg|thumb|600px|none|]]&lt;br /&gt;
:I think if it is a real gun it is highly modified. My guess would be that it is a covert gun that passes as something else (like the [[(Day of the Jackal) - Custom Sniper Rifle|Day of the Jackal]] rifle), as the trigger is a random metal loop, and that vertical part is not a magazine, but appears to fold down from the front as a sort of monopod.  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 10:06, 21 May 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

It is some type of bolt action for sure,and definitely a covert job.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:It deffinitely has nothing to do with an M3, as it is a bolt action feeding from a rifle size magazine (in the trailer it clearly shows the magazine being inserted into the rifle). The large vertical part appears to be a hand grip or support strut of some sort and is not a magazine. As for it being an Accuracy International I can see where you are coming from, but I don't think it is. First off the bolt stem on an AI AW curves backwards, and the bolt on this is straight. Also, the bolt is too far forward from the front of the weapon.  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 16:28, 21 May 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yeah, I was just kinda throwing it out there. If it is a M3, it looks like it is highly customized. But now I know it is not a M3.--[[User:Coltmth|Coltmth]] 17:10, 21 May 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don't think we'll be able to tell just from this. It looks almost like a custom mockup built around a real weapon. Hell, considering the unusual trigger, box-shaped suppressor, and various almost unrecognizable bits and pieces, it could very well be a completely inert prop with CGI firing. [[User:Chitoryu12|Chitoryu12]] 20:36, 23 May 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It could be a prototype weapon where the design has not been released to the general public. Otherwise, it is just a complete custom mockup.--[[User:Coltmth|Coltmth]] 21:40, 23 May 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
looking at the bolt area and where the stock attaches, my money would be on it being a PGM Ultima Ratio, obviously heavily mocked up, but impossible to say for sure without more pics - TheSpannaMunkee&lt;br /&gt;

The gun on the last picture looks like a P99 to me...But a 92FS isn't a crazy thought, maybe he picked it up from a Silva tug or something..&lt;br /&gt;

Picture No. 4 is a Glock 17;there are a number of newly released stills that confirm this. Apparently Bond disarms the guy pointing one at him inthe percussion cap dueler photo and winds up aiming at(or maybe shooting) somebody with a 2 handed hold.&lt;br /&gt;
The dueler is almost certainly a Pedersoli repro of a LePage dueling pistol.&lt;br /&gt;

I still have never liked the new Bond. All the Bonds before Craig were the classic fictional &amp;quot;spy&amp;quot; with all the charms and awesomeness that all women want him and men want to be him. I know REAL spies don't usually act like the classic Bond fashion with super gadgets and all but that's why we love him, not for the realism but for the fantasy it really is. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 17:16, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Daniel Craig does look older in this picture. I would rather see the new PPS as his sidearm because it's simply an evolution thing. From PPK to P5 to P99, Bond has usually always used a Walther. To have him go back to the PPK, while is nice to see, is not something that make sense this day in age.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Actually in the Jeffrey Deaver Bond novel &amp;quot;Carte Blanche&amp;quot; Bond does use the Walther PPS [[User:Charon68|Charon68]] 17:35, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Daniel Craig has not aged well in my opinion. In Layer Cake when he was early thirties, he looked quite young. When I saw the promo picture for Skyfall, I couldn't believe it was him for a second. I would have liked Bond to sport a P22 or PK380 in Skyfall, but as is life :( [[User:Fixer|Fixer]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
If bond is former SAS soldier, as suggested in Casino Royale, then he would have used a PPK so is a realistic choice.  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 18:04, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Personally though I had thought the PPK was withdrawn from service after the attempted kidnapping of Princess Margaret in 1974.  As cool as the thing looks the cartridge is woefully underpowered and would barely make a scratch with modern body armor. [[User:Charon68|Charon68]] 18:08, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
:That incident was with the police Royalty Protection branch, and at that point the PPK was carried as a primary weapon. It wasn't a power issue, the gun jammed when the protection officer tried to return fire, and was immediately and totally withdrawn by the police due to this freak occurrence. It is still used (or was still used until relatively recently) by the SAS as an ankle gun during close protection work or for undercover work (such as in Northern Ireland), and I think there is also a hidden pocket specifically for the PPK in the SAS CRW coveralls. Main pistols used by SAS are the P226 and P228. Personally I would like to see bond with a P228, or its successor the P229 SAS.  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 18:30, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I think we're torn on the ideal of a the Bond gun as being something small and still powerful to what is more practical. In a real sense, Bond should always be carrying full size guns or larger guns because of the situation. Why a small gun when his outfit could offer concealment on larger frame weapons and with modern day suppressors, you can't say a small gun suppresses better. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 21:08, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the novels written by Raymond Benson, Bond would carry a PPK if he needed concealment with a suppressor and he would keep a P99 in his cars or when he was in a tactical situation where he needed more firepower. That was something that was used in the game Bloodstone and would be a nice medium. --[[User:Mattattack07|Mattattack07]] 22:07, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bond is a Naval Commmander, and personally I would like him to use a P228, as it is compact enough for undercover work and has a large enough magazine (13 rounds in 9mm) to see him through a gunfight --[[User:Taurus96|Taurus96]] 12:54, 5 February 2012 (CST).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The p228 is not bond 007 style. The thing is that the PPK is the classic bond gun, but with a magazine size of at max 8 rounds, it is not very good choice. He could use one of two pistols: the P226 Navy in .40 S&amp;amp;W (since he is an naval commander) or a usp compact in 9 mil. The usp compact is good for concealment and it offers a larger magazine (13 rounds) compared to the ppk's 8.--[[User:Coltmth|Coltmth]] 15:28, 5 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;he P226 Navy in .40 S&amp;amp;W (since he is an naval commander)&amp;quot; Wrong Navy, plus the 226 Navy is (I believe) only chambered in 9mm NATO. [[User:The Wierd It|The Wierd It]] 16:21, 5 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If anything the PPK is a good backup gun nothing else. I personally wouldn't even consider using a PPK as my primary even if I was using a compact gun just because their is simply better compact guns with better stopping power then the PPK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guys, we're missing the point. It doesn't matter what guns are better choices than a PPK. Most guns out there are. Bond may be a former SBS or SAS or whatever, but he NEEDS to carry a Walther. For 50 years, he has carried three different guns, all Walther. I am in huge favor of him carrying both a P99 and a PPK depending on the situation, although I would probably get over it if he replaced the PPK with a PPS. I think a lot of people want to see Bond carry guns that THEY like, but don't really fit Bond's persona. All the guns suggested are combat sidearms, while Bond only needs something to serve for a CCW. If he needs more firepower, there is the P99.--[[User:--JazzBlackBelt--|--JazzBlackBelt--]] 21:44, 5 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I totally agree with JazzBlackBelt. The P99 is the best for Bond and the PPK makes for a great backup gun.--[[User:Coltmth|Coltmth]] 22:25, 5 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If they want to be really faithful, they should give him back the Beretta pocket pistol he carried in the first few novels. But now I'm being overly sarcastic and need to calm down. [[User:The Wierd It|The Wierd It]] 05:30, 6 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While I agree that there are better choices then a PPK, I wouldn't want to step in front of one in the hands of a professional like Daniel Craig's Bond.  The PPK is iconic and identified with Bond as much as the dinner suit and the Aston Martin; it was chosen by Fleming because its name &amp;quot;rolled off the tongue&amp;quot; and for its sleek looks.  The producers did a good job in Quantum of Solace mixing up the traditional (PPK) with the more modern (P226).  And since I am new to this site, if someone could tell me how to leave a signature, I would appreciate it :)&lt;br /&gt;

It looks like folks have been discussing the gun Bond should carry for 50 years. [[User:APS221|APS221]] 00:47, 8 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They should follow Jeffery Deaver's advice and choose the gun from the book Carte Blanche, the book that was going to be adapted into this film originally. Shame it's not going to be-the gun's a Walther PPS .40 S&amp;amp;W. It betters the PPK in calibers and capacity (if you either have an extended magazine or choose 9mm instead of .40 calibre.), and matches it exactly on size. Also, I believe Bond should have a larger handgun inside his vehicle and for use on covert operations. The PP9, while Bond has been using it before and it has a good capacity, is outdated and still a 9mm. I believe it should be a full-sized handgun, still a Walther, maybe the P22 .22 LR, as it is quieter suppressed than the 9mm PP9. I'm not sure weather .22 LR is more or less powerful than 9mm though...anyone? As for the Bond gun debating, it's never going to stop completely. If Bond books and films carry on being made for hundreds more years, better and more concealable guns in better calibers with better suppressors will become available, and people like us will always disagree with the choice, unless the people in charge of firearms choosing at the Bond films come across this site and choose what we say, which is unlikely. The PPK, whilst good in it's day, is severly outdated (it's nearly twice as old as the actor holding it!), the caliber is ineffective compared to the .40 S&amp;amp;W at penetration and damage, and the PPS can be suppressed just as effectively with modern suppressor technology, compared to the .380 ACP with WWII suppressor technology, and is the same size exactly-Walther claim so themselves. However, the big cheeses at the Bond office just see the PPK not as ineffective, or underpowered, or old, but as a symbol of Bond. I think we may have to put up with it for many years to come, until either they see some sense or are fired. I'm sure Boothroyd's turning in his grave. Alasdair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The thing with Bond is that he needs to use a gun with decent size caliber. If I would choose a new gun for Bond, I would choose the Kimber Warrior, which is meant for marksmen like Bond. Glocks are good, but are not suited for Bond. The Walther P99 as of the guns Bond has used is the best one that he has used. --[[User:Coltmth|Coltmth]] 10:31, 8 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I want to see him with a PPS or something like that. The PPK is nice, but this isn't Ian Flemming's bond anymore. He is a more realistic action hero. A PPS in a IWB holster with a P99 or PPQ in his car. I like Craig as Bond because he is more gritty and honestly, less of a man whore. I have experience with a PPS and I think Bond would too.--[[User:Yo dawg 111|Yo dawg 111]] 11:25, 8 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm a huge fan of the Walther, and i would love to see him use his P99 again, i got a replica of it myself and it's really good. Especially is a Vega Holster!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the book &amp;quot;Devil May Care&amp;quot;, Bond looses his PPK frequently and is mostly seen using, of all things an [[M1911]]. That would be pretty cool. [[User:Scattergun|Scattergun]] 14:55, 8 April 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While I maintain my opinion that the PPK, properly supplemented at appropriate times like in Quantum, is the only gun for Bond, I am sympathetic to the argument that he should be equipped with a more modern weapon.  Therefore, I nominate the new SIG SAUER P224.  It is of an appropriate size (unlike the Walther P99), has the proven professional pedigree of the P220/226 line, is of high quality (unlike the poor reputation-dogged Walther), isn’t the everyone’s gun the GLOCK is, and has some style and panache that the PPS, GLOCK, USP, and their polymer look-alikes lack.  I would prefer 9mm for an agent operating worldwide, but the P224 is available in .40 and .357 SIG (now that’s a serious caliber).  --[[User:SIG 1911 A Professional&amp;amp;#39;s Weapon|SIG 1911 A Professional&amp;amp;#39;s Weapon]] 23:01, 9 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

:Of course the big problem with a non-Walther gun is that apparently the franchise has a fairly nice sponsorship deal going with Carl Walther GmbH. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 23:09, 9 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the franchise has a big sponsorship with Walther, then why don't Walther make a gun especially designed for James Bond? It could be tailored to meet his needs (suggestions as to what they might be, please), and then they could release it for sale to the public. They'd make a fortune by selling it to James Bond fans, and serious shooters if it was very good. Q could make a big deal in-film about how good it is, and how Walther have made it especially for him. Good idea? Alasdair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Well, because imagine the PR when the gun made specially for James Bond is used to hold up a bank, they'd never hear the end of it, nevermind the kind of &amp;quot;MGM is arming our kids!&amp;quot; nonsense they'd get anyway. That and if you're a gun company exec and someone pitches that idea to you, your first reply would be &amp;quot;why not just have him use something we already make?&amp;quot; [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 06:55, 10 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The whole debate about whether he should be using a PPK should be treated in the same way as whether it is realistic for Bond to engage in so many scuffles in nice, taper-fit Tom Ford suits and Church leather shoes. The cut is simply unrealistic for someone who wishes to conceal serious firepower. Given his obvious fondness for the Italian cut in his suits, it is fitting that Daniel Craig/James Bond should choose the PPK instead of the P99 he had used in the first movie, but, alas, such weapons remained adequate today for a Walter Mitty who would not see much more action. Since the 1970s, an operator carrying a PPK would simply not be taken seriously by fellow professionals, and would be laughed out of the Special Forces Club. A serious operator would simply rather wear a suit with the horrendous sack-like American cut, than do without a true combat pistol. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A former SBS operator would really be more likely to carry a SiG-Sauer P226. He might sacrifice two rounds to save 0.1 inch of butt length by carrying the P228, but  someone who really means to can conceal either under a suit jacket. Even women operators could conceal a Heckler and Koch MP5K under their jacket. So the producer or director really missed a chance here to turn James Bond from being a mere walking advertisement for luxury brands to a more serious character (like back in Casino Royale).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, by the way, using an Olympic Arms K23B is the ultimate mark of un-seriousness in a professional. Someone get that girl a HK 416.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:One word for you - TRADITION. Bond's always used a PPK (except in the first few novels), it's pretty much his signature gun. I'm glad they've gone back to it over the P99, which just never had the same classic feel to it.--[[User:Leigh Burne|Leigh Burne]] 10:45, 1 August 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course. But that still means that the more edgy and realistic Daniel Craig reboot, which started so promisingly in Casino Royale, has now officially gone off the rails and U-turned back into cheesy entertainment territory. If that's the case, please give me back Pierce Brosnan's easy charm, Roger Moore's humour, or Sean Connery sheer animal charisma, not Daniel Craig's brooding sulkiness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I don't see how you can claim they've totally rejected the serious tone and gone back to being cheesy fun JUST because he's using the PPK again. Especially as you haven't even seen the film!

The lads from CO19 seem too have a Glock in their holsters. The norm for police carrying sidearms in the UK is a Glock 17, so its safe too assume that they are also Glock 17s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Trailer unknown gun==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The teaser trailer dropped today, and I have clocked an unknown gun around 1:11. It is scoped and suppressed, but I am unable too identify it. Can someone have a look and possibly screencap it? Cheers lads&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Fixer|Fixer]]&lt;br /&gt;

:It was an odd looking thing, whatever it is. It is mostly in shadow but you get one good whole weapon shot of it when there is a flash of light:&lt;br /&gt;
:[[File:Skyfall sniper rifle.jpg|thumb|600px|none|]]&lt;br /&gt;
:I think if it is a real gun it is highly modified. My guess would be that it is a covert gun that passes as something else (like the [[(Day of the Jackal) - Custom Sniper Rifle|Day of the Jackal]] rifle), as the trigger is a random metal loop, and that vertical part is not a magazine, but appears to fold down from the front as a sort of monopod.  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 10:06, 21 May 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is some type of bolt action for sure,and definitely a covert job.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:It deffinitely has nothing to do with an M3, as it is a bolt action feeding from a rifle size magazine (in the trailer it clearly shows the magazine being inserted into the rifle). The large vertical part appears to be a hand grip or support strut of some sort and is not a magazine. As for it being an Accuracy International I can see where you are coming from, but I don't think it is. First off the bolt stem on an AI AW curves backwards, and the bolt on this is straight. Also, the bolt is too far forward from the front of the weapon.  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 16:28, 21 May 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yeah, I was just kinda throwing it out there. If it is a M3, it looks like it is highly customized. But now I know it is not a M3.--[[User:Coltmth|Coltmth]] 17:10, 21 May 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don't think we'll be able to tell just from this. It looks almost like a custom mockup built around a real weapon. Hell, considering the unusual trigger, box-shaped suppressor, and various almost unrecognizable bits and pieces, it could very well be a completely inert prop with CGI firing. [[User:Chitoryu12|Chitoryu12]] 20:36, 23 May 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It could be a prototype weapon where the design has not been released to the general public. Otherwise, it is just a complete custom mockup.--[[User:Coltmth|Coltmth]] 21:40, 23 May 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

looking at the bolt area and where the stock attaches, my money would be on it being a PGM Ultima Ratio, obviously heavily mocked up, but impossible to say for sure without more pics - TheSpannaMunkee&lt;br /&gt;

The gun on the last picture looks like a P99 to me...But a 92FS isn't a crazy thought, maybe he picked it up from a Silva tug or something..&lt;br /&gt;

Picture No. 4 is a Glock 17;there are a number of newly released stills that confirm this. Apparently Bond disarms the guy pointing one at him inthe percussion cap dueler photo and winds up aiming at(or maybe shooting) somebody with a 2 handed hold.&lt;br /&gt;
The dueler is almost certainly a Pedersoli repro of a LePage dueling pistol.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I still have never liked the new Bond. All the Bonds before Craig were the classic fictional &amp;quot;spy&amp;quot; with all the charms and awesomeness that all women want him and men want to be him. I know REAL spies don't usually act like the classic Bond fashion with super gadgets and all but that's why we love him, not for the realism but for the fantasy it really is. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 17:16, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Daniel Craig does look older in this picture. I would rather see the new PPS as his sidearm because it's simply an evolution thing. From PPK to P5 to P99, Bond has usually always used a Walther. To have him go back to the PPK, while is nice to see, is not something that make sense this day in age.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Actually in the Jeffrey Deaver Bond novel &amp;quot;Carte Blanche&amp;quot; Bond does use the Walther PPS [[User:Charon68|Charon68]] 17:35, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Daniel Craig has not aged well in my opinion. In Layer Cake when he was early thirties, he looked quite young. When I saw the promo picture for Skyfall, I couldn't believe it was him for a second. I would have liked Bond to sport a P22 or PK380 in Skyfall, but as is life :( [[User:Fixer|Fixer]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Charon68, that is what I was referring to the book. --[[User:Mattattack07|Mattattack07]] 17:43, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If bond is former SAS soldier, as suggested in Casino Royale, then he would have used a PPK so is a realistic choice.  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 18:04, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Personally though I had thought the PPK was withdrawn from service after the attempted kidnapping of Princess Margaret in 1974.  As cool as the thing looks the cartridge is woefully underpowered and would barely make a scratch with modern body armor. [[User:Charon68|Charon68]] 18:08, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
:That incident was with the police Royalty Protection branch, and at that point the PPK was carried as a primary weapon. It wasn't a power issue, the gun jammed when the protection officer tried to return fire, and was immediately and totally withdrawn by the police due to this freak occurrence. It is still used (or was still used until relatively recently) by the SAS as an ankle gun during close protection work or for undercover work (such as in Northern Ireland), and I think there is also a hidden pocket specifically for the PPK in the SAS CRW coveralls. Main pistols used by SAS are the P226 and P228. Personally I would like to see bond with a P228, or its successor the P229 SAS.  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 18:30, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;

:::Bond being ex-UKSF has been canon since at least ''[[Tomorrow Never Dies]]''; Bond can be seen wearing a pair of UKSF Parachute wings on the sleeve of his No.1C uniform, as in [[:File:Usairforce.jpg|This shot]].

&lt;br /&gt;
I think we're torn on the ideal of a the Bond gun as being something small and still powerful to what is more practical. In a real sense, Bond should always be carrying full size guns or larger guns because of the situation. Why a small gun when his outfit could offer concealment on larger frame weapons and with modern day suppressors, you can't say a small gun suppresses better. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 21:08, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the novels written by Raymond Benson, Bond would carry a PPK if he needed concealment with a suppressor and he would keep a P99 in his cars or when he was in a tactical situation where he needed more firepower. That was something that was used in the game Bloodstone and would be a nice medium. --[[User:Mattattack07|Mattattack07]] 22:07, 2 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bond is a Naval Commmander, and personally I would like him to use a P228, as it is compact enough for undercover work and has a large enough magazine (13 rounds in 9mm) to see him through a gunfight --[[User:Taurus96|Taurus96]] 12:54, 5 February 2012 (CST).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The p228 is not bond 007 style. The thing is that the PPK is the classic bond gun, but with a magazine size of at max 8 rounds, it is not very good choice. He could use one of two pistols: the P226 Navy in .40 S&amp;amp;W (since he is an naval commander) or a usp compact in 9 mil. The usp compact is good for concealment and it offers a larger magazine (13 rounds) compared to the ppk's 8.--[[User:Coltmth|Coltmth]] 15:28, 5 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;quot;he P226 Navy in .40 S&amp;amp;W (since he is an naval commander)&amp;quot; Wrong Navy, plus the 226 Navy is (I believe) only chambered in 9mm NATO. [[User:The Wierd It|The Wierd It]] 16:21, 5 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If anything the PPK is a good backup gun nothing else. I personally wouldn't even consider using a PPK as my primary even if I was using a compact gun just because their is simply better compact guns with better stopping power then the PPK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guys, we're missing the point. It doesn't matter what guns are better choices than a PPK. Most guns out there are. Bond may be a former SBS or SAS or whatever, but he NEEDS to carry a Walther. For 50 years, he has carried three different guns, all Walther. I am in huge favor of him carrying both a P99 and a PPK depending on the situation, although I would probably get over it if he replaced the PPK with a PPS. I think a lot of people want to see Bond carry guns that THEY like, but don't really fit Bond's persona. All the guns suggested are combat sidearms, while Bond only needs something to serve for a CCW. If he needs more firepower, there is the P99.--[[User:--JazzBlackBelt--|--JazzBlackBelt--]] 21:44, 5 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I totally agree with JazzBlackBelt. The P99 is the best for Bond and the PPK makes for a great backup gun.--[[User:Coltmth|Coltmth]] 22:25, 5 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If they want to be really faithful, they should give him back the Beretta pocket pistol he carried in the first few novels. But now I'm being overly sarcastic and need to calm down. [[User:The Wierd It|The Wierd It]] 05:30, 6 February 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While I agree that there are better choices then a PPK, I wouldn't want to step in front of one in the hands of a professional like Daniel Craig's Bond.  The PPK is iconic and identified with Bond as much as the dinner suit and the Aston Martin; it was chosen by Fleming because its name &amp;quot;rolled off the tongue&amp;quot; and for its sleek looks.  The producers did a good job in Quantum of Solace mixing up the traditional (PPK) with the more modern (P226).  And since I am new to this site, if someone could tell me how to leave a signature, I would appreciate it :)&lt;br /&gt;

I don't know if you folks have seen this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuO34MDezzU&lt;br /&gt;
It looks like folks have been discussing the gun Bond should carry for 50 years. [[User:APS221|APS221]] 00:47, 8 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They should follow Jeffery Deaver's advice and choose the gun from the book Carte Blanche, the book that was going to be adapted into this film originally. Shame it's not going to be-the gun's a Walther PPS .40 S&amp;amp;W. It betters the PPK in calibers and capacity (if you either have an extended magazine or choose 9mm instead of .40 calibre.), and matches it exactly on size. Also, I believe Bond should have a larger handgun inside his vehicle and for use on covert operations. The PP9, while Bond has been using it before and it has a good capacity, is outdated and still a 9mm. I believe it should be a full-sized handgun, still a Walther, maybe the P22 .22 LR, as it is quieter suppressed than the 9mm PP9. I'm not sure weather .22 LR is more or less powerful than 9mm though...anyone? As for the Bond gun debating, it's never going to stop completely. If Bond books and films carry on being made for hundreds more years, better and more concealable guns in better calibers with better suppressors will become available, and people like us will always disagree with the choice, unless the people in charge of firearms choosing at the Bond films come across this site and choose what we say, which is unlikely. The PPK, whilst good in it's day, is severly outdated (it's nearly twice as old as the actor holding it!), the caliber is ineffective compared to the .40 S&amp;amp;W at penetration and damage, and the PPS can be suppressed just as effectively with modern suppressor technology, compared to the .380 ACP with WWII suppressor technology, and is the same size exactly-Walther claim so themselves. However, the big cheeses at the Bond office just see the PPK not as ineffective, or underpowered, or old, but as a symbol of Bond. I think we may have to put up with it for many years to come, until either they see some sense or are fired. I'm sure Boothroyd's turning in his grave. Alasdair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The thing with Bond is that he needs to use a gun with decent size caliber. If I would choose a new gun for Bond, I would choose the Kimber Warrior, which is meant for marksmen like Bond. Glocks are good, but are not suited for Bond. The Walther P99 as of the guns Bond has used is the best one that he has used. --[[User:Coltmth|Coltmth]] 10:31, 8 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I want to see him with a PPS or something like that. The PPK is nice, but this isn't Ian Flemming's bond anymore. He is a more realistic action hero. A PPS in a IWB holster with a P99 or PPQ in his car. I like Craig as Bond because he is more gritty and honestly, less of a man whore. I have experience with a PPS and I think Bond would too.--[[User:Yo dawg 111|Yo dawg 111]] 11:25, 8 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm a huge fan of the Walther, and i would love to see him use his P99 again, i got a replica of it myself and it's really good. Especially is a Vega Holster!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the book &amp;quot;Devil May Care&amp;quot;, Bond looses his PPK frequently and is mostly seen using, of all things an [[M1911]]. That would be pretty cool. [[User:Scattergun|Scattergun]] 14:55, 8 April 2012 (EST)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While I maintain my opinion that the PPK, properly supplemented at appropriate times like in Quantum, is the only gun for Bond, I am sympathetic to the argument that he should be equipped with a more modern weapon.  Therefore, I nominate the new SIG SAUER P224.  It is of an appropriate size (unlike the Walther P99), has the proven professional pedigree of the P220/226 line, is of high quality (unlike the poor reputation-dogged Walther), isn’t the everyone’s gun the GLOCK is, and has some style and panache that the PPS, GLOCK, USP, and their polymer look-alikes lack.  I would prefer 9mm for an agent operating worldwide, but the P224 is available in .40 and .357 SIG (now that’s a serious caliber).  --[[User:SIG 1911 A Professional&amp;amp;#39;s Weapon|SIG 1911 A Professional&amp;amp;#39;s Weapon]] 23:01, 9 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Of course the big problem with a non-Walther gun is that apparently the franchise has a fairly nice sponsorship deal going with Carl Walther GmbH. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 23:09, 9 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If the franchise has a big sponsorship with Walther, then why don't Walther make a gun especially designed for James Bond? It could be tailored to meet his needs (suggestions as to what they might be, please), and then they could release it for sale to the public. They'd make a fortune by selling it to James Bond fans, and serious shooters if it was very good. Q could make a big deal in-film about how good it is, and how Walther have made it especially for him. Good idea? Alasdair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Well, because imagine the PR when the gun made specially for James Bond is used to hold up a bank, they'd never hear the end of it, nevermind the kind of &amp;quot;MGM is arming our kids!&amp;quot; nonsense they'd get anyway. That and if you're a gun company exec and someone pitches that idea to you, your first reply would be &amp;quot;why not just have him use something we already make?&amp;quot; [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 06:55, 10 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The whole debate about whether he should be using a PPK should be treated in the same way as whether it is realistic for Bond to engage in so many scuffles in nice, taper-fit Tom Ford suits and Church leather shoes. The cut is simply unrealistic for someone who wishes to conceal serious firepower. Given his obvious fondness for the Italian cut in his suits, it is fitting that Daniel Craig/James Bond should choose the PPK instead of the P99 he had used in the first movie, but, alas, such weapons remained adequate today for a Walter Mitty who would not see much more action. Since the 1970s, an operator carrying a PPK would simply not be taken seriously by fellow professionals, and would be laughed out of the Special Forces Club. A serious operator would simply rather wear a suit with the horrendous sack-like American cut, than do without a true combat pistol. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A former SBS operator would really be more likely to carry a SiG-Sauer P226. He might sacrifice two rounds to save 0.1 inch of butt length by carrying the P228, but  someone who really means to can conceal either under a suit jacket. Even women operators could conceal a Heckler and Koch MP5K under their jacket. So the producer or director really missed a chance here to turn James Bond from being a mere walking advertisement for luxury brands to a more serious character (like back in Casino Royale).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Oh, by the way, using an Olympic Arms K23B is the ultimate mark of un-seriousness in a professional. Someone get that girl a HK 416.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:One word for you - TRADITION. Bond's always used a PPK (except in the first few novels), it's pretty much his signature gun. I'm glad they've gone back to it over the P99, which just never had the same classic feel to it.--[[User:Leigh Burne|Leigh Burne]] 10:45, 1 August 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course. But that still means that the more edgy and realistic Daniel Craig reboot, which started so promisingly in Casino Royale, has now officially gone off the rails and U-turned back into cheesy entertainment territory. If that's the case, please give me back Pierce Brosnan's easy charm, Roger Moore's humour, or Sean Connery sheer animal charisma, not Daniel Craig's brooding sulkiness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I don't see how you can claim they've totally rejected the serious tone and gone back to being cheesy fun JUST because he's using the PPK again. Especially as you haven't even seen the film! I mean, do you not realise what a ridiculous jump in logic that is? That's like saying &amp;quot;Because Bond has a beard in one scene they're going to bring back Madonna.&amp;quot;--[[User:Leigh Burne|Leigh Burne]] 02:51, 2 August 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

== What Happened??? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[Casino Royale (2006)]], Bond had good trigger discipline and kept good two handed grips on his guns, an now we have shots of him in a footchase pointing his PPK in front of him with his finger on the trigger... call me a safety Nazi but I expect better from a trained agent....--[[User:Yo dawg 111|Yo dawg 111]] 11:35, 8 April 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You mean the footchase at Tower Hill? Maybe, and correct me if i'm wrong he just shot someone....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The lads from CO19 seem too have a Glock in their holsters. The norm for police carrying sidearms in the UK is a Glock 17, so its safe too assume that they are also Glock 17s.&lt;br /&gt;

The teaser trailer dropped today, and I have clocked an unknown gun around 1:11. It is scoped and suppressed, but I am unable too identify it. Can someone have a look and possibly screencap it? Cheers lads&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[User:Fixer|Fixer]]&lt;br /&gt;

:It was an odd looking thing, whatever it is. It is mostly in shadow but you get one good whole weapon shot of it when there is a flash of light:&lt;br /&gt;
:[[File:Skyfall sniper rifle.jpg|thumb|600px|none|]]&lt;br /&gt;
:I think if it is a real gun it is highly modified. My guess would be that it is a covert gun that passes as something else (like the [[(Day of the Jackal) - Custom Sniper Rifle|Day of the Jackal]] rifle), as the trigger is a random metal loop, and that vertical part is not a magazine, but appears to fold down from the front as a sort of monopod.  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 10:06, 21 May 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
:It deffinitely has nothing to do with an M3, as it is a bolt action feeding from a rifle size magazine (in the trailer it clearly shows the magazine being inserted into the rifle). The large vertical part appears to be a hand grip or support strut of some sort and is not a magazine. As for it being an Accuracy International I can see where you are coming from, but I don't think it is. First off the bolt stem on an AI AW curves backwards, and the bolt on this is straight. Also, the bolt is too far forward from the front of the weapon.  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 16:28, 21 May 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I don't think we'll be able to tell just from this. It looks almost like a custom mockup built around a real weapon. Hell, considering the unusual trigger, box-shaped suppressor, and various almost unrecognizable bits and pieces, it could very well be a completely inert prop with CGI firing. [[User:Chitoryu12|Chitoryu12]] 20:36, 23 May 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It could be a prototype weapon where the design has not been released to the general public. Otherwise, it is just a complete custom mockup.--[[User:Coltmth|Coltmth]] 21:40, 23 May 2012 (CDT)&lt;br /&gt;

looking at the bolt area and where the stock attaches, my money would be on it being a PGM Ultima Ratio, obviously heavily mocked up, but impossible to say for sure without more pics - TheSpannaMunkee&lt;br /&gt;

:Look a couble of sections up and you will see a cap of it in the light, where you can see it is actually cuilt on (if anything) a bolt action rifle.

Picture No. 4 is a Glock 17;there are a number of newly released stills that confirm this. Apparently Bond disarms the guy pointing one at him inthe percussion cap dueler photo and winds up aiming at(or maybe shooting) somebody with a 2 handed hold.&lt;br /&gt;
The dueler is almost certainly a Pedersoli repro of a LePage dueling pistol.&lt;br /&gt;

Why are are the pictures so tiny and horrible quality? I made them 700pix and ther're still tiny!--[[User:Mandolin|Mandolin]] 19:07, 25 January 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;
:The real size of the pictures is 300px so it you enlarge them in the article the quality will be poor. The size of the image in the article must not be more then its real size. If 700-px image is needed then no less then 700-px file must be uploaded. [[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] 00:42, 26 January 2012 (CST)&lt;br /&gt;

Why is a picture of the S&amp;amp;W Sigma listed under the S&amp;amp;W 99?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A S&amp;amp;W Sigma is not the S&amp;amp;W 99 and does not even appear in the movie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The OA-93==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The picture on the left is an OA93 while the picture on the right is someone who is most likely using a K23. The biggest noticeable difference is that the K23 has a buffer tube on the end, in the OA93, the charging handle and recoil buffer are both integrated into a flat top upper receiver eliminating the need for a buttstock or a buffer tube&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It's not a K23; otherwise, it would have a regular triangular AR front sight, which it clearly doesn't in this movie. If you read our OA-93 page, MoviePropMaster explains that many of the OA-93s seen in Hollywood films have had buffer tubes installed by the armorers because it's necessary in order to make them function reliably with blanks. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 18:30, 3 December 2008 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From what I can see, it is a K23, yes the OA-93 has been modified by armorers so that they have the ability to fire blanks, but this is not one of those conversions. &lt;br /&gt;
First, the gas return system uses a standard gas tube connected by a low profile gas block, which is why there is no standard front sight post. On a OA-93 there should be a return tube located above the handguard leading back to the upper receiver.&lt;br /&gt;
Second, the charging handle on a regular OA-93 is a side charging handle raised above the upper receiver, the charging handle on this weapon is a standard charging handle located within the upper receiver. &lt;br /&gt;
I'm not new to AR-15s, try consulting with others who may know more before dismissing other peoples opinions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:First of all, I don't like your tone. There is no need for such hostility, and furthermore, the evidence you cited originally to prove it's a K23 was vague enough that I felt compelled to point out something you might not have known. Second, every K23 I have seen - either the LEO full-auto carbine or the more recent civilian pistol versions - had a regular AR front sight post. The gun in this movie does not, so unless it was specially modified, I just don't see how it's a a K23. You are right that it does have a regular AR charging handle, which the OA-93 doesn't have. Third, looking closely, I realize I failed to notice that the receiver of the gun seems to have no forward assist or brass deflector - characteristic of both the OA-93 and K23. I now suspect it may be a Rocky Mountain Arms Patriot Pistol instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After watching the whole finale shoot out at least seven times in HD, and looking at as many pictures of the RMA patriot as i could. i am almost certain that it is a patriot that has been fitted with a collapsable stock, and a C - More red dot sight. what perplexed me was the raised rail on the upper reciever. i did not know too much about the patriot pistol. but if someone who knows more about the patriot wants to watch the shoot out, i think they will find that it is a patriot. and the the &amp;quot;ruger mini 14&amp;quot; does not look to be a shotgun, but a rifle based on the width of the mag.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just to add come conjecture to this- I don't think what is listed as an OA-93 in the page is actually an OA-93. It has the raised top rail caracteristic of the OA-93, However is lacking the main element that makes an OA-93- the recoil spring mounted above the barrel. Also missing is the Charging handle unique to the OA-93, mounted above the receiver in-between the rail and receiver. As someone has mentioned above, I believe it is a Rocky mountain arms patriot pistol, fitted with a full stock tube and a carbine stock. And the c-more tactical sight ofc. I have some Hires screencaps from a Blu-ray of the movie and some pics of the Rocky patriot, if no-one minds me updating the article? Also, I belive that an OA-93 does actually appear in the movie, but in the hands of one of Tubbs and crockets team in the final shootout- the dude who gets shot in the leg while moving between cover.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:The weapons in question are Rocky Mountain Arms Patriot Pistols. These are the same pistols that were used on [[3000 Miles to Graceland]] as the same armory supplied weapons to both shows. -[[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]] 16:27, 3 July 2009 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:: Yeah, definitely.  The 'high-rise' rail on the upper is the giveaway.  Zito carries a (visually) unmodified OA-93 (only seen clearly in a few frames), so it seems odd that some guns would be modified for function (in this movie) but not others (perhaps they figured out how to run them).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
-----&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just sitting here watching Miami Vice being repeated on TV (ION) and got a little humour out of the fact that all of the automatic weapons being fired on both sides, and Tubbs (Jamie Foxx) is getting the best hit ratio with his Benelli M-4, one per customer except for Yero's Bodyguard who recieves three shots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Negative Reviews ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What went wrong with this movie?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the rumours I heard was that Jamie Foxx turned into an ego-maniac after winning the Oscar for best actor in Ray and made a load of demands, changing the script etc. Then he walked off the set whilst they were on location and flew back to America saying he was done shooting outside of the US, so a radical re-write was required. The final shootout was supposed to take place in South America somewhere. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 00:53, 29 November 2010 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I thought the shoot out in the end was worth watching the whole movie. -Bravejoker&lt;br /&gt;

:The weapons in question are Rocky Mountain Arms Patriot Pistols. These are the same pistols that were used on [[3000 Miles to Graceland]] as the same armory supplied weapons to both shows. -[[User:Phoenixent|Phoenixent]] 16:27, 3 July 2009 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

:: Yeah, definitely.  The 'high-rise' rail on the upper is the giveaway.  Zito carries a (visually) unmodified OA-93 (only seen clearly in a few frames), so it seems odd that some guns would be modified for function (in this movie) but not others (perhaps they figured out how to run them).&lt;br /&gt;

Just sitting here watching Miami Vice being repeated on TV (ION) and got a little humour out of the fact that all of the automatic weapons being fired on both sides, and Tubbs (Jamie Foxx) is getting the best hit ratio with his Benelli M-4, one per customer except for Yero's Bodyguard who recieves three shots.&lt;br /&gt;

What went wrong with this movie?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One of the rumours I heard was that Jamie Foxx turned into an ego-maniac after winning the Oscar for best actor in Ray and made a load of demands, changing the script etc. Then he walked off the set whilst they were on location and flew back to America saying he was done shooting outside of the US, so a radical re-write was required. The final shootout was supposed to take place in South America somewhere. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 00:53, 29 November 2010 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== Justin Theroux? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Can anyone put up some pics of Justin Theroux? Didn't he carry a SIG in one scene?&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
