    Looks like I was right about the Beretta ARX160 being the other rifle in that photo one page back. We get a closer look at it in this new pic here:

    Also, a biker with rifle on his back, looks like a type of M16:

    Really hard to tell whether it's a type of M16 from the photos.....could also be an M4.

    Looks to be a rubber stunt(since he's riding)copy of an M4 variant with a Sopmod stock, a longish forearm and no sights to me.

    My first thought was M4, but figured the front end is too long in these pics?

    Thought the stock was the giveaway on M4 but I'm probably wrong.
    a reasonable rate of return

    Lots of assault rifles, lots of shooting....all potentially good things for a Bond film.

    A couple of handguns, perhaps too small to identify though

    Hand gun on right possibly browning hi power, other maybe a beretta 9mm with couple of add ons at front, mini torch etc, guy with patterned shirt possibly mp5, other photos def members of the AR15 family present, a bull pup at 5.56mm, maybe even an uzi also.

    He will use a Barretta.it will jam on him and he will spend six months in hospital. That will take us up to Dr no.

    I don't think that one second to the right is a Beretta with any add ons—it just looks like the slide is at the rear of whatever it is. And that pistol on the far right looks more like a Sig P22?. The rifle on the left maybe something in the SCAR family with a short barrel?
  • MikeG77MikeG77 Posts: 1,770MI6 Agent
    For the rifles I'd say mp5, some sort of AR possibly an M4 and the last one could be a short barell SCAR or HK G36.
    I know where you keep your gun!

    I really hope that the Walther PPK shows up in No Time To Die, like the Aston Martin DB5 it is one of the first things I think of when I think of James Bond. If Bond is finally going to change to a new handgun, I would be fine with the Walther PPS, since has gotten a lot of praise from the shooting sports community and is said to be of the best self defense pistols on the market at the present time.
  • Asp9mmAsp9mm Over the Hills and Far Away.Posts: 7,483MI6 Agent
    He won’t be using a new Walther in this. But predominantly a Sig 226 with two other handguns, you see the PPK once very briefly and that’s it.

    Ive got mixed feelings about the ppk being essentially dropped for nttd, as much as its a brilliant little gun and so very iconic to Bond, it has been somewhat surpassed with far more practical handguns out there.
    Even Bond himself has shown from time to time some frustration, from looking at it distainfully on the train in the SF pts then throwing it away to again throwing it away in Spectre. Only the ppk will ever look right for Bond, but perhaps it really is time for a change.
    It was either that.....or the priesthood

    @ ASP9mm, Thanks for the heads up. A short appearance is okay by me, its much better than not appearing at all in the movie.

    A Glock 19, because,,,it's the best out there...(although I prefer the G23 in 40 S&W).

    Now, if I were Bond, and I knew I could get ammo, I would have a Glock 29SF in 10mm...very powerful, lots of rounds and still relatively easy to conceal....ugly, but very functional. 56870_1.jpg

    I second the choice of a Glock ...

  • Miles MesservyMiles Messervy Posts: 1,757MI6 Agent
    Glocks are fine weapons - really easy to aim and obviously robust. But Glocks have no style. They are painfully ugly. This makes them a poor choice for Bond.

    Hence shoving a 17 inside the KPOS! :D

    Have to agree. Maybe a Beretta Px4 Storm Compact might be a good choice?
    I kind of get the feeling that since it's Bond coming out of retirement, may be it's whatever he has stashed around the house or picks up. It will be interesting to see if Bond is "officially" reinstated to active duty as a "00" in the film and subsequently re-equipped by
    Q Branch....which would be an opportunity to introduce a new handgun.

    Exactly!

    The P226 is a fine choice for Bond. It’s got pedigree and style. It’s really expensive and somewhat outdated, but not necessarily in a bad way. Sounds like our man! :))

    I agree! Glocks are popular for a reason, but Bond should not be using one of the most common handguns in existence, let alone one as ugly as a Glock. He's not John Wick. He's James F___ing Bond. He doesn't need magazines holding 17 rounds. Glocks are guns for Spectre henchmen.
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 21,699MI6 Agent
    I agree. Bond needs a distinctive and stylish gun. The quality is secondary.

    IMO Bond should be using the H&K VP9 as requisitioned in SPECTRE. It has design and safety features as found on the Glock and equally ugly Steyr M9 but with a more ergonomic form. The pistol on SPECTRE was custom fitted to DC's hand so it fit him like a glove with interchangeable back straps and side grip inserts. Even his stunt VP9 had the same rubber grip inserts -{

    Mind you I have to say that the fictional Skyfall Walther PPKS is an incredibly comfortable pistol in hand :D

    Just took a look at the H&K VP9 and IMO, that is the perfect, more contemporary concealed carry weapon for 007. For a modern auto it actually has a touch of elegance and much cleaner and graceful looking but still looks like serious business . Also looks great w/ a silencer. It would be a cool scene in NTTD with Bond taking out some villains in a gun battle rather easily with some precision marksmanship and after he looks at the H&K VP9, and says "where have you been all of my life".

    The SK variant is even more suited to Bond.

    In that same vein, the Walter PPQ would also be a solid choice. It has a truly excellent trigger, which is something that would matter to someone like Bond. It’s also a Walther, and I like keeping Bond in the same brand family.

    And then we are back on to the PPS M1 and 2. Which, let’s face it, is the successor to the PPK.

    No question. I think I prefer the M2 because I prefer the updated ergonomics, although I’ve only fired the original.
