James Bond: 10 Best Weapons In The 007 Movies

Arguably one of the worst Bond films brought to legendary status thanks to the amazing performance of Christopher Lee and his famous Golden Gun, aka: the most sought-after weapon in every Bond video game in existence.

This small weapon is basically a DIY handgun, though in the original novels it was simply a gold plated Colt Peacemaker Revolver. It was redesigned for the film and had a much more unique look, constructed out of a cigarette case, a lighter, a pen and a cufflink. The bullets for the gun are also custom made making them very difficult to trace.

And being such an excellent marksman, Francisco Scaramanga only ever needs to take one shot to eliminate his target.

It's a collectable item for all true Bond fans. One of the best looking guns in existence and one that has created something of a cultural phenomenon particularly in the world of video games, not just 007 titles. The Golden Gun has become a byword for a rare weapon with few/single shots but always a guaranteed one-hit kill. Just one legacy left behind by this brilliant weapon.
