"James Bond's best gadget"

I'm sitting here with 'The Spy Who Loved Me' on in the background, and it's not long past the section with THAT Lotus - you know, the amphibious car, with fins, periscope, oil slicks, mines, rocket launchers and who knows what else.

For me, that's probably the single best toy that 007 has ever had to play with.

And yours is...?

I take that as a "Don't know" then. The correct answer was the:

Silenced Berretta M92FS 9mm Semi-Automatic Handgun.

Suck.

Then if u no so much about the bond guns, tell me: What gun will Bond be using in D i e A n o t h e r D a y ?

rattlesnake3, if you look, youl see that i never actually use the word Calibre. So, i was right all along. No hard feelings though(i win afterall).

Someone mentioned the flying car from The Man With The Golden Gun, but forgot to mention the Golden Gun itself! I think is was a pen, a lighter, and a packets of fags that made it. (All fake of course, they just LOOKED like a pen, a lighter and a packet of fags, except for the fact that they were all solid gold!). Not a Q-Branch gadget, but still pretty cool.

Oh yeah, and Skarra: After some extensive research (A quick flick through the Jane's Guns Recognition Guide!) I found that the Walther PPK IS a .20, and 7.65 refers to the MODEL, NOT the calibre. Bit of a stupid idea really, because as 7.62 is a calibre of sniper rifle (!) most people see 7.65 and assume that the person who has written it hasn't got a clue what they're talking about!

Also, the jacket from The World Is Not Enough was quite cool. Totally useless unless u happen 2 b convieniently in the middle of an anvalanche ( Example - Bond! (In the film) ), but still cool none the less!

I like the Q boat from the World is not enough.
The Boat may not be the best gadget but it sure was a great film, I think James's watch from nearly all the movies. It has Circular saw, laser and it tells the time. Its my all time gadget.

If you look in the official Bond book, The Essential Bond, written by Lee Pfeiffer and Dave Worrall, on page 187, under Tomorrow Never Dies, you will see the word's,

Bond gets a new Walther in Tomorrow Never Dies, but via Wai Lin not Q. The sleek and deadly 9mm weapon has a magazine capacity of up to 16 rounds (nine more than Bond's traditional Walther PPK 7.65).

So there, i think the official book is more accurate than you, no offence old bean.

it wasn't bonds, but what about the flying car in the man with the golden gun?

The suitcase used in From Russia With Love.

Ok, maybe it wasn't the best gadget, but it was a great film!

The funniest one has got to be the telephone box with an airbag in GoldenEye!

Bond didn't just use Walthers ya know. In one scene in Live and Let Die, he fought his way out using a Smith and Wesson M49 .44 revolver (6 shot rotary mag, 8" barrel, very accurate, MAGNUM velocity!). But ther are some brilliant Walthers out there. I especially like the Sniper rifle he used in The Living Daylights. Silencer, bolt-action, 7.62mm, night vision rifle scope..... Very cool! Another good gadget is the belt with the climbing cables in (Golden Eye).
