Bond Handgun

[Jamash]

I'd have one of these, concealed somewhere about my person, maybe hidden in my hair or beard:

But I'd also wear one (or eight!) of these as backup:

I'd also use hollowed out, Teflon coated, pointed Titanium tipped bullets filled with a neurotoxin, to make up for the lack of power.

To hell with stealth. Desert Eagle for me... That or a Gyrojet, space age.

By all means, take a hand cannon that weighs a ton and has only a handful of shot in it. Oh and a kick that will strain your wrists after only a few shots. Ahh, and on top of that add poor reliability as well, damn thing can jam easier then most handguns which is bad if your life depends on it.

There is a reason the military uses light side arms past the fact a 9mm will kill just as easily as a short .50. Stealth isn't it, it is simply because you can put more lead down range with better accuracy all the while carrying a great deal more ammo onto the field.

There's the intimidation factor, and I want my Bond to be able to take on Batman and Chuck Norris and live. Manly power, raaah! You know, Dirty Harry style. Whether it's effective or efficient I leave to the gun experts.

 

[Firia]

The trusty ol' Makarov.

Spoiler

It's accurate, it's easily concealed, and it's incredibly reliable.

Except for when it doesn't, which is when it matters most.
Granted, Ocelot was being overconfident.

I'm mixed minds on this. I could point out that any gun is intimidating if you put it into someone's face but I can't really argue your statement. The DE is one of the more intimidating guns out there, with a massive reputation as... well... being THE hand cannon and is well recognised by even laymen's who understand little to nothing of handguns. In fact, it can work against them even more in this day of Hollywood, as more people believe the near-godlike mantel that has been placed on the DE as the 'ultimate kick arse handgun that badguy always use.'

Personally I would lean towards a heavy revolver for that, .410 shotgun rounds for the win! Revolvers are just a tad more intimidating for some reason. Could be that revolvers have had longer service so are more engrained into the mind, given the whole wild west period of gun lawlessness. Could be that you can see the next round in the chamber that will be coming at you after it's sibling has been fired.

Whatever the reason though, I lean to revolvers for big intimidation guns and an auto for a smaller practical weapon.

PS: I don't intimidate with firearms. If I point one at you it isn't because I want information, it is because I plan to kill you.

 

[MadMechanic]

Very good choice, sir.
I own a P99, it's a great gun and You are right, the old styled ones are much better looking.
I would prefer a H&K for Special Agent Use. To comply with the MP7 Ammo a UCP (Ultimate Combat Pistol, shares the same 4.6x30mm Ammo. Hell, it even takes the longer higher capacity MP7 Mags...) would be perfect.

Why thankyou kind sir.
I'd like to ask - what is the P99 like to fire? To date, I've only ever used airguns shaped like the P99, or airsoft 'replicas' which are considerably lighter than the real thing, and I've always wondered what it is like. Does it weigh much?

I can understand why they updated the P99 - such as the mount-groove things (if it was a NATO standard rifle, they'd be weaver/picitanny/RIS - but what are they on a handgun? RIS?) so the users can add extras as and when the please (although the MKI could already mount the Walther laser-dot, and a suppressor/silencer)
I just think they make the newer versions look awful. Especially the compact version. The origional had those wonderful sleak lines and curves in places.

Excellent points. My view may be biased by the games I play and the movies I watch. Make no mistake, I love revolvers (Navy Colt FTW). But the DE, though impractical, is in my opinion just a big hunk of metal that spews solid death. To each his own I guess.

Cleric gun

Two of them.

Yeah, okay, I just want to be a cleric...

 

[Sir Ollie]

Gets the job done.

 

[SilkySkyKitten]

For practicality:

Spoiler: Walther P99 with Suppressor

Less practicality:

Spoiler: Colt Anaconda .44 Magnum

Even less practicality:

Spoiler: Walther P99 w/ Suppressor, Flashlight, and Scope

Extremely small image and an image of a fictionalized version from a video game, I'm aware. It is possible, though.

 

[MinishArcticFox]

I'm even more surprised by all these choices of the deagle, it's less reliable and in my opinion less intimidating (though any gun in your face is intimidating). I guess people just like it because it's so popular in media.

 

[Birras]

The mothereffer known as the Smith & Wesson Model 500 or the ass-masher, as dubbed by yours truly.

Spoiler: Kuchinawa212, prepare to meet your maker.

Sir, I'd like to engage in sexual intercourse with that weapon.

Spoiler

With this you'd be prepared for anything.

Is that...A brass knuckles/revolver/trench spike?

OP:Hmm...Something reliable, stealthy, and modern.

Spoiler: Or...

The exact opposite of what I said. It's a Confederate revolver from the American Civil War with an undermounted shotgun. Because, fuck stealth, I've got a revolver that's also a shotgun. *****.

 

[The_Healer]

I know what you're thinking - "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But, being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?

No question really.

 

[TheTim]

browning m1911 .45 with a silencer.

 

[Webb5432]

I'd go with a USP .45 Tactical all the way. It looks sleek, shoots well, can acce4pt a silencer, and hits you with .45 ACP bullets. Sounds good to me.

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

A soviet model Mosin Nagant revolver:

It is old, but it is also the only revolver that you can outfit with a silencer. A revolver is an ideal weapon for an assassin because it does not drop shells when fired. I would use incendiary rounds as the bullet would be largely marred, making tracing difficult.

In case of discovery, this would be on me:
