    FREE JAMES BOND: CHOICE OF WEAPONS: THREE 007 NOVELS PDF Raymond Benson | 847 pages | 17 Aug 2010 | PEGASUS BOOKS | 9781605980997 | English | United States Verify your identity The following is a list of firearms used by James Bond in the novel and film adventures. When Ian Fleming wrote the first of the James Bond novels, Casino Royalehe had no idea the direction in which the stories would go, let alone how many he would eventually write. So when he introduced, Bond as using a Beretta in a flat chamois leather holster he probably didn't think too much about it. He had James Bond: Choice of Weapons: Three 007 Novels such a gun during the Second World War when he was in Naval Intelligence and felt it was an appropriate sidearm for a secret agent on an undercover mission. Boothroyd was a retired Army Major and gun collector. Boothroyd told Fleming that he really admired the Bond novels apart from the hero's choice of weapon. He felt that the Beretta was "a lady's gun" with no real stopping power. He also objected to the choice of holster. It had no external hammer, so it would not catch on Bond's clothes. Boothroyd also had bad words about the silencer Bond occasionally used, saying that they were rarely silent and reduced the power of a gun. Fleming replied, thanked the Major for his letter, and made a few points. He felt that Bond ought to have an automatic pistol; perhaps Boothroyd could recommend one? He agreed that the Beretta lacked power, but pointed out that Bond had used more powerful weapons when the need required, such as the Colt Army Special he uses in Moonraker.
