Guest The Magnificent 7 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Also, uh, does that gun have two barrels? Yes. Unless I miss my guess, he appears to be packing the AF2011-A. A dual-barrel pistol made by Arsenal Firearms. Custom clips magazines make the pistol a fairly practical if unwieldy weapon. How you are supposed to rock two suppressors side by side is asshattery. You don't. Those pistol barrels are not threaded to be equipped with flash suppressors and the ejection ports are not positioned in a way to imply that the weapon has a gas chamber to support flash suppression. I'd like to put that Arsenal through its paces and see if it holds up and is effective. Seems pretty gimmicky and some safety concerns. The plan was to make only 500 and is clearly a conversation piece. I wouldn't trust my life on it, especially if James Bond is shooting at me. Ha. I bet after this movie comes out, if they've had trouble selling those, that they'll sell them now. It would probably be a NFA weapon, though. Also, I think you are confusing in my response a suppressor (sometimes referred to as a silencer) with a flash suppressor (which are common to carbine length firearms). Plenty of suppressor (silencer) options for 1911 pistols. The 1911 style Arsenal's barrels you mentioned I see on their site are definitely not threaded (as they are flush with the slide), but the bond pic is definitely different from the Arsenal site ones. Looks threaded. Probably modded even further for the film. Compare the Sig pics I posted above to this Sig with a threaded barrel (which still has the thread protector cap on it). The Bond pic looks like it has threaded barrels compared to the flush to frame barrels (which about all modern semi-auto pistols after the P-38 use unless threaded) of the Arsenal one on their site. Leon is awesome. He can do whatever he wants.
Guest The Magnificent 7 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Double Barrel Desert Eagle Motherfucker~! Don't get me wrong, I'd be willing to shoot it, but would probably need an ice bucket handy for my hands afterwards.
Guest The Magnificent 7 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Ha, IMFDB already has a page on Spectre. JT you were super close with your ID, just a slightly different model. The AF2011 Dueller Prismatic is the firearm and pics are here. http://www.arsenalfirearms.com/products/af2011-dueller# The barrels aren't threaded, but compensator instead (along with a ton of other bells and whistles). This company definitely has the vibe of those fantasy swords that are functional (meaning they won't break if you hit a watermelon with them, but beyond that...), but mostly conversation pieces. I hadn't heard of them before. If someone can throw me 7 grand I'd happily do a review on this pistol.
Raziel Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 If I had a spare 7 Grand, *I'd*' be doing the review on the pistol.
Brian Fowler Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 If I had an extra 7 grand, I wouldn't spend it on a pistol. 2
J.T. Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Leon is awesome. He can do whatever he wants. We should all embrace this universal truth.

I hadn't heard of them before. At least I got the manufacturer right. It was hard to place by sight and I don't think that any of Arsenal's custom guns are featured in any of the Jane's publications I keep up with. And yeah, Arsenal has carved out a niche for itself as one of the premier custom pistol fabricators. The dual-barrel pistol is the stuff of conversation and Hollywood. There is no way you would casually eject those clips in a gunfight. They probably cost as much as the pistol itself.
(BP) Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 I didn't care for Skyfall, but that trailer got me excited. I hope there's no lame twist and Waltz is exactly who we think he is. Plus, Bond in the Alps!
HumanChessgame Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Skyfall is by far my favorite of the Craig bond films, and the final act is probably one of my favorite action sequences out there. If this movie is anywhere near as good I'll be satisfied. I still want a spinoff of Kincaid doing awesome old man badass stuff.
_MJ_ Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 If this is good, is it time to put Daniel Craig in the discussion for Best Bonds?
TheVileOne Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Glad they are tying back in to Quantum, Mr. White and all that business. Thought it was over and done with.
Craig H Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 That trailer looks awesome, but let's not forget the reality that the movie has serious issues.
Niners Fan in CT Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 That trailer looks awesome, but let's not forget the reality that the movie has serious issues. Do you mean that they went way over budget or something else?
Craig H Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Part of the Sony email leaks revealed that the third act of Spectre was a mess with nonsensical twists and a bad ending. They were well into production as they tried to fix that later part of the script. I hope it turns out to be awesome, but I'm skeptical.
J.T. Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Glad they are tying back in to Quantum, Mr. White and all that business. Thought it was over and done with. Eventually it was going to happen. Franchise needed the awesomeness of Skyfall to distract from QoS and then pick up the story again once the franchise was redeemed.
Death From Above Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Just got an itch to watch the trailer for this myself, and I must admit I'm curious. It's a very interesting trailer. Toned down, lots of whispering in the shadows. I'm fine with Serious Bond if they are taking that kind of tone. Monica Bellucci is 50? Jesus Christ. I love modern science so much.
Jiji Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 And Batista snapped a dude's neck. That was a thing that happened. The best thing. 2
Craig H Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Fuuuuuuuuuuuck yeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss I also love the one single shot of evil looking Jim Moriarty.
PuroresuFan Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Looks great and I always enjoy hearing Christoph Waltz deliver evil, menacing dialogue.
J.T. Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Both Ellie Goulding and Sam Smith are hinting that they have recorded tracks for the Spectre soundtrack. I will have to wait a bit longer for Sade or Noel Gallagher to do the theme song for a James Bond film.
