Jonathan .... can you do a video on your Gamespot series regarding usage and requirement of gun licenses in video games? Cheers!

[@afd19850]

Yes! Great suggestion!!!! I think anything adopted by a military is generally public domain, hence why we see M4’s, M16 etc… etc… also doesn’t age play a part too? So AK47, 1911, M1 Garand is exempt?

[@craigkingdon4424]

@@afd19850 pretty sure all those examples fall into the military use category. Besides, from what I understand, publishers don't like to promote real life firearms in their games, mostly as a publicity thing. Manufacturers love it tho, even when the gun is tweaked to effectively no longer be considered Licensable.

[@afd19850]

@C.I.A • Central Intelligence Agency Or devs could do what some games do and use an airsoft/AR15 hybrid. Bit of this, bit of that and call it an “M4”. Don’t FN make the M4 now?

[@wills2140]

Ginge most western game developers are beyond the reach of AK, so not really a licensing deal needed there. On the other hand western firearms *that are still under patent protection* would need to be licensed, regardless of use by any military. Though most all WWI and WWII designs are in the public domain for appearance and likeness uses, any newer updates to say the 1911 pistol could still need to be licensed. So it would depend on each weapon and what version is used in a movie. Yes, many companies now manufacture a version of the M4 / M16 family including FN and H&K ( because the "exclusive" period of the license to Colt from Armalite has passed iirc ), but the main current M4 in regular U.S. military service is still made by Colt.

[@mrdrux]

@C.I.A • Central Intelligence Agency Wrong. Patents for the M16/m4 are expired. Colt tried sueing bushmaster in the past for using the M4 designation on one of their rifles and Colt lost.

[@gameragodzilla]

I kinda wish James Bond stuck with the Walther P99 because he used that in most of the video games which I also grew up with.

[@afd19850]

Definitely, also makes far more sense than a PPK. It was used by SAS for UC work as a back-up to their sidearm and primary. That’s where it belong! PS you mean the Wolfram P2K 🤣

[@gameragodzilla]

@@afd19850 Yes! Man, I can't believe I still remember all the fake names they made for those games too. Man, my nostalgia is overloading.

[@velvetpilot2008]

Yeah I dug when they introduced the P99 in Tomorrow Never Dies. It felt like a genuine update and was nice to see.

[@sporkstar1911]

I like the return of the PPK And technically it could be a valid choice for infiltration reasons. Checking into some place it makes him look less serious, like just some amateur private security guy with papers to travel. Besides Bond doesn't miss and his shot placement is impeccable, so a .25 ACP will do just fine.

[@KusacUK]

In the books, Bond has a Beretta 418, up until the events of From Russia With Love when it gets caught in his holster. The PPK is forced on him in Dr No as he’s recovering from his injuries, and he really doesn’t like it to begin with. As the film series began with Dr No, he starts off with the PPK (except it was actually the PP), and then onto the P5 and the P99. …I’d love to know why the Beretta 418 appears in the title sequence for The Living Daylights though.

[@petersattout3956]

He actually begins with a beretta pocket pistol in Dr.No as well at the beginning where M forces him to trade it for a Walther pp as supposedly his beretta jammed on a previous mission.

[@aaronleverton4221]

@@petersattout3956 And he tries to take his Beretta with him, until M tells him to leave it behind. Further to the book, Fleming managed to mix up the info he was given by the actual Geoffrey Boothroyd who didn't like the Beretta as James Bond's pistol and put the Smith and Wesson Centennial Airweight .38 (no hammer, so can't snag on draw, the almost fatal issue in FRWL) as the "long distance/heavy hitter" in the book instead of the .357 Magnum. The .38 had been offered as an alternative to the PPK for concealed carry, not a complement to it.

[@culshie]

@@aaronleverton4221 I remember seeing somewhere that Fleming who was a stickler for detail equipping Bond with the "Berns Martin", shoulder holster which was specifically designed for the snub nose revolver holding it in place by gripping the cylinder with spring and holding it in a upside down position.

[@banjobill8420]

@@handsomerob1223 given how light recoil with an AR is, especially with an experienced shooter, I have no clue how OP came to the conclusion that Bond, of all people, would put weights on his gun. It's most certainly a light/laser/combo.

Perhaps he meant prop weights looking like light or laser. To literally give weight to Craig’s weapon handling on screen.

[@KieraShredsTooMuch]

Really enjoyed this and would love to see more videos like it in future, love all the content in general. It does indeed get a bit increasingly silly with each film that the 'Bond' sidearm is still a PPK, iconic or not lol. I imagine something higher-capacity and single-action (and situationally maybe the occasional suppressor and locked slide) would be much more attractive to a super-spy marksman than something with 6 rounds and a notorious trigger pull, lol. Alternatively if they really wanted to go all-in on concealment, I'd think a modern compact polymer-framed option would look quite cool to general audiences and work well on film.

[@banjobill8420]

It's legit around the same size as the new Smith & Wesson m&p Shield Plus and has half the capacity.

[@Mr_T_Badger]

At one point in time in the post-Fleming novels, Bond was encouraged by Felix Leiter to carry an ASP 9mm as his concealable pistol. Which made sense as it had the same amount of bullets, was still easily concealable, and hit harder since it was in 9mm and not .32 or .380.

[@BT-ex7ko]

I thought that when Daniel Craig was picked they wanted to 'modernize' bond and gave him a P99. Was it after Skyfall that they switched back to a PPK? It's been a hot minute since I've watched them all in sequence but I know Skyfall was a tonal shift from modern to a more 'vintage' style again. You can even see it in this film with its color grading and set design - despite some modern flair it still manages to look old.

[@jackal_9791]

@@BT-ex7ko Casino and Quantum used the P99, Skyfall with its retro goodness switched back to the PPK.

[@thepenultimateninja5797]

Why single-action?

[@Truthoscope91]

I think the AR variant bond is wielding is intended to be the short barrel version of the Colt Canada/Diemaco C8 carbine, the L119a1. That and the Sig P226 have been weapons of UK special forces for years, probably a nod to Daniel Craig's Bond being a veteran of the Special Boat Service (SBS)

At approximately 19:24 in the video, pointing out the rifle Bond is carrying in the forest as the bad guy's vehicle crashes into the log, I'm sure you meant to refer to the weapon as the Beretta ARX 100 rather than 160.

I literally used to do what he is doing as a kid with my toybox of guns. Whenever planning to play pretend, I enjoyed taking mental note of how many guns and props were in a given Bond movie, try and get an approximate to those props and guns from my toybox (was it more the AK rifle style, pick toy for that...or more M4/M16 then chose my toy M16 etc.) and play pretend with that structure. I was always detail-obsessive 😂

[@tylerboyd4145]

The brackets on the side of the AR/M4 variant that Bond uses at the end are 45° canted open sights. They are usually foldable and not kept out when not in use unless you are expecting to require them.

[@casualsuede]

I mentioned this in a past vid....this guy is the REAL Q!

[@julianmhall]

Great video Jonathan! Also a great contrast with one I just watched on swords, explaining why in movies you often don't get what really happened in history. In short movie armourers are only one of the people involved in the decision what to film, so unless it looks good - makes good TV - and especially if it looks bad, it gets dropped / changed. I suspect the same is true of guns, also the armourer is probably only given a small budget so the same guns are reused to get their moneys worth out of them.

[@scrappydoo7887]

That was quickly fixed 👌

[@yngtadpole]

@12:13 that's the actual bolt carrier group. You can see the ejection port cover below it as well as being right in front of the forward assist on the magnified version, possibly with a nickel or chrome finish. The way the light hits makes the concaved portion of the carrier group look brighter.

[@prebird]

The mini guns in the headlights is definitely a practical stunt. Although I’m not sure how they fitted those If they did possibly cgi there. But they placed explosives in the environment and as the car is doing it’s rotation they timed it as perfectly as possible and ignited those… for the effect. :)

[@BEARDEDAXEMODELS]

The magazine hold at 16:58 .. I agree and preferred myself to hold further down the stock to balance the weight of the barrel and was taught that as far back as firing the 303... buuuut I've noticed many action stars suddenly holding their front hand very far back.. in the next shot when he turns around after coming out the cafe door he does it again. I'm willing to bet it's because the firearms instructor was a SEAL. and far from being old fashioned was actually training what they consider.. the "latest" way lol

[@jonathanhill6064]

The mention of costume/character and weapon/character similarities in film got me... It is a great subject that some channels have attempted but i think would benefit from Jonathan's opinion and commentary, considering his occasional retro video game weapon thoughts: retro (especially 80s and 90s war/action) movie gun analysis. I think Ian's Forgotten Weapons tried it a few times but it wasn't quite the right fit, it would be perfect for a slightly less technical and the more 'expert opinion' style that seems to work well with Jonathan.

Quick note on the MP7 optic that the new 00 is using - appears to be a C-More red dot! Was used in the Matrix sequel on the Twin's UMPs in the car chase scene. I think it is still used quite often on the competitive pistol scene over here stateside!
