Q BRANCH - Other Equipment
Standard Issue Briefcase Issued 1963. Status: Stored at lab
The first and most original gadget to be delivered to Bond out of Q Branch was this briefcase. Issued as standard equipment given to all "00" agents, it was only used in one movie, From Russia With Love though cameo apperances in different are unconfirmed but possible. Equipped with 20 rounds of ammunition, a throwing knife, 50 gold soverignes, a specially designed tear gas container, and holding an AR7 sniper's folding rifle, this case undoubtedly saved Bond's life fighting Red Grant on the Orient Express.
Wrist Dart Gun Issued 1979. Status: Stored at lab
Although mentioned as standard equipment for all "00" agents, the wrist dart gun was only featured in Moonraker. Strapped to the users wrist, it worked on nerve impulses to fire. The gun came with ten darts, five were blue tipped, with armor piercing heads, and the other five were red tipped, with cynanide poison, causing death in 30 seconds. Bond used the dart gun only three times. Once, to "test" it and annoy M a little, the second, to excape from a centrofuge gone crazy, and the third was used to rid the world of Drax.
Keyfinder Issued 1987. Status: Destroyed (Self-destruct)
An ordinary keyfinder? Not from Q Branch. They made some clever audio-actuated "improvements" to this keyfinder. When armed, if someone whistled the first bars of "Rule Britannia", stun gas would be released, with range being five feet, and capable of knocking out a normal opponent for thirty seconds. When Bond whistled his personal signal to the keyfinder---a wolf whistle, naturally---the high concentrated exploseves would go off. The keyfinder also came with keys that could open up 90% of the world's locks. Bond used this keyfinder to escape from an Afhghanistan prison and to finish Brad Whittaker in The Living Daylights.
Signature Gun Issued 1989. Status: Missing, presumed destroyed
A high powered snipers rifle disguised as a camera, this gun also has a palm-print reader implanted in the handle. When it's programmed, only the person originally programmed can use the gun. Used only in Licence to Kill, this gun's special signature saved Bond's life when the gun was taken by a narcotics agent from Hong Kong.
Piton Gun Issued 1995. Status: Stored at lab
This piton gun was used to get Bond down to the chemicals warehouse in the opening scene of Goldeneye. Complete with high tensity wire, a retractor, and a lazer which cuts through metal at close range, this piton gun singlehandedly got Bond into the factory.
Grenade Pen Issued 1995. Status: Destroyed (Used)
This pen, in Goldeneye, doubles as a class four grenade. By clicking the back three times, the four second fuse is activated. Another three clicks disarms it. The pen was blown up inside 006's Cuban base, causing the whole operation to crumble. Now, the pen is truly mighter than the sword.
Cellular Phone/Remote Control Issued 1997. Status: Stored at lab.
Delivered to Bond in Tomorrow Never Dies, this is the perfect cell phone. Not only can it perform all the functions of a normal cell phone, but it also has a fingerprint scanner, 5000 volt shocker, a lockpick, and controls the defence systems of the BMW 750i. But that's not all! When opened up, you can use the touchpad to control the BMW by remote. Now you can literally be a backseat driver.
