If James Bond were an american...

[deputy tom]

Hmmm,and I believed that the real US operators were using .32 acp Seecamps and that was why they were in short supply and were being scalped at close to a grand each.tom.

Whatever Jack Bauer carries.

The Semmerling LM-4 45 was purchased in fair number by an unspecified government agency. These were equipped with threaded barrels, and there was supposedly a semiauto variant that only was made for the US government.

Keep in mind that only something like 600 Semmerlings were ever made. American Derringer has off an on offered a stainless copy of the LM-4.

It's hard to tell, but the Semmerling was an extremely compact weapon. This is the only picture I could find showing a comparison. It is small, but keep in mind that the photo shows the LM-5, a 45 caliber manually operated repeater, next to a watch



Here is a prototype shown with the threaded version of the LM-4

Only 33 parts too.

We don't need James Bond. We have Mitch Rapp, who carries a Glock most of the time. He'd eat Bond's lunch.

 

[DougDubya]

Mack Samuel Bolan carries a .44 Magnum IMI Desert Eagle for loud times, and a Beretta 93-R machine pistol for quiet times, and the occasional Beretta Tomcat .32 for 4th gun backup after a Centennial 940.

Almost 500 books, and still going strong.

Quien es mas macho? Jaime Bond o Mateo Helm o Jacque Bauer o Marco Sanmiguel Bolan o Miguel Rapp o Carlos Norris o Senor Flint o Sydney Bristow?

Recently, Los Angeles commemorated 24 and its star, Jack Bauer, by renaming a section of Wilshire Boulevard "Jack Bauer Boulevard".

The problems started immediately. Pedestrians suddenly started collapsing, dead, in the sidewalks.

City officials were at a loss, until one of them called 20th Century Fox TV to ask for help.

Acting on advice received, they quickly renamed the road back to Wilshire Boulevard and the problems stopped.

Why?

They learned that nobody crosses Jack Bauer and lives...

If Bond were an American back in the 1960's and 70's, I bet he'd be packing a 4" S&W M19 just like the rest of the CIA/FBI guys back then.

 

[Firepower!]

If he were an American, then I think Colt pistol specially designed for him.

I say this because more than any other gun Colt is the symbol that everyone around the world understands as American.

 

[jgo296]

im thinking a 10mm an american bond would be big and badass and americans like big guns

 

[Pilot]

In the movies the CIA contact Felix Leiter in many of the early ones, had a
snubbie wheelgun.

Nope. In Dr. No, Jack Lord who played Felix Leiter also carried a Walther PPK. In fact the armorer earlier in the film tells Bond, "the American CIA swear by them."

Commander size 1911

 

[obiwan1]

I still maintain that the book version of an American Bond would carry a Kahr in a pocket holster. An American movie version would definitely go for a high end 1911 of sorts. The book version is about the man, the movie version is about the gear. I still wonder how he would get it through TSA

 

[5knives]

If he were an American working for the U.S Government in the '50's and '60's he'd have been issued either a Tokarev in 7.62x25 or a Nazi marked Browning Hi-Power.

Hey - that's what I carry!, At least in the summer. So that, and an Officer's model 1911 in the winter. Keep the .25 Beretta for deep cover stuff.
Of course, his name would be "JB", he would eat burgers and drink Bud, and drive a Mustang, but he'd drive it REAL fast!
Probably have a 12 gauge Remington in the trunk from "Q".

lol. His theme song could be played on a banjo and he could ware one of those tuxedo T-shirts. Sounds like a great show.

 

[Cosmoline]

James Bond was a Cold War spy. In period, as an American agent he would probably carry a Detective Special or J frame in a Seventrees holster.

Indeed, Paris Theodore was the real life "Q" and helped outfit many REAL American spies.

And an American Ms. Moneypenny would have typed on an American made manual.

 

[lamazza]

He seems like a sig 226 guy to me.

 

[peacemaker45]

What about Eisler's John Rain? Always trying to ccw an HK Mk 23 SOCOM, w/ suppressor, in a "tactical thigh rig."

That's the exact opposite of bond's .25.

A phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range.

I liked the Matt Helm movies, and the "Flint" movies as well

Cramden: Your code book.

Flint: If you don't mind, sir, I prefer to use my own personal code.

Cramden: But I would rather you use the government code.

Flint: I already know mine. It's a mathematical progression, 40-26-36. It's based on...

Cramden: I can imagine what it's based on.

Yep,

and he would have driven an Avanti.

 

[inherentical]

If James Bond were an American, his real name would be David Webb and he'd kill you with a rolled up newspaper or a ballpoint pen, take whatever gun you had, and use it to kill everyone else you came with. Only if you were bad guys, though.
