List of James Bond gadgets

This is a list of James Bond gadgets featured in the Bond films, organized by the film eras of its actor.

The James Bond books and films have featured exotic equipment and vehicles, which often prove to be critically useful.

The original books and early adaptations had only relatively minimal pieces like the modified attache case in From Russia, with Love.

However, the gadgets took on a more spectacular profile starting with the film version of Goldfinger, and its tremendous success encouraged the following films to have Bond supplied with still more equipment. For instance, it became an expected scene in each film where Q would present and demonstrate Bond's assigned tools for the mission, and it was a near guarantee that each and every piece would be invaluable to Bond in the field. Bond gadgets became an example of the literary technique of Chekhov's gun.[1][2] Fans eventually complained that the use of gadgets became excessive in the Roger Moore films, particularly in Moonraker, and subsequent productions struggled to find a balance in which gadgets could have a place without giving the impression that the character unduly depended on them or using stories that arbitrarily included situations that exactly fit the use of the gadgets assigned.

This article concerns the gadgets James Bond typically carried on his person, along with gadgets and gimmicks used by allies and villains. It does not include makeshift gadgets or weapons, animals, or general spy equipment and installations such as bulletproof vests, disguises, fake passports, surveillance, secret passages and trap doors, or explosives, unless particularly notable.

Homing beacons
Used to track people. One is placed in Bond's shoe; another is placed on car and can be tracked up to 150 miles.[13]
Industrial laser
Used by Goldfinger trying to kill Bond.[13] Powerful enough to put a laser dot on the moon, but at very close range able to cut through steel. This laser was later used to cut open the vault of Fort Knox. This film showcases the very first of its kind, as this weapon takes on various forms throughout the James Bond series.
Parking meter that releases tear gas
One of Q's gadgets under test.[14]
Wetsuit with bird on top
A wetsuit for snorkeling with a seagull on top.[6][9]

Thunderball

Homing pill
When Bond takes this pill, it emits a signal that can be detected only by a certain receiver.

Although not a significant piece of technology today, in those times it was new. Used by main villain Emilio Largo to open a secret panel which leads to the SPECTRE briefing room in Paris, France.[13]
Air supply
A small device that can be carried on the person without notice and when in use, is held in the mouth to provide four minutes of air in emergencies when the user has to go underwater. (Effectively a miniature Scuba set.)[15][8]
Jetpack
A Bell Rocket Belt jetpack is used to propel Bond into the air during his escape in the opening gambit after killing Jaques Bouvar.[13][6][16][9][11][7][8] Bond uses a Bell Textron jetpack in Die Another Day[17]

Geiger counter camera
A camera that conceals a Geiger counter. Bond gives this to Domino to look for the bombs on the yacht.
Miniature flare Very pistol
a pocket-sized flare gun firing a red signalling beacon.
Cassette recorder hidden in book
Bond uses this to learn that Quist is hiding in his hotel room.
Electrocution staff chair
With the press of a button, Blofeld electrocutes the staff member on the seat which he sits on, then the seat drops down into the floor and comes back empty.
Skyhook
Comes as a grappling suspender attached to a weather balloon that Bond can attach to his utility harness. With the aid of a specialised aircraft (B-17) installed with specialised braces, Bond and Domino are hoisted up into the air and out of the area.[3]

You Only Live Twice

Mini-rocket cigarette
Tiger gives Bond a cigarette capable of shooting a rocket-powered projectile accurately up to 30 yards. Used in Blofeld's volcano to kill a technician standing by the entrance controls to enable his allies to storm the base.[9][11][8]
Waterproof body bag
Used at Bond's own "Funeral", this bag is completely waterproof complete with a breathing mask enabling Bond to breathe while being dumped overboard. The bag is even waterproof enough to allow him to wear a complete uniform before his briefing with M.
Jet Propelled Bullets
Developed by Tiger Tanaka's facility, these bullet feature extra jet propulsion for added firepower. They however were not used.
Little Nellie (WA-116)
A portable autogyro built by Q Branch, which fits into a small duffel bag and can be assembled or dis-assembled anywhere. Contains machine guns, heat seeking missiles, aerial mines, and rocket launchers[13][6]
Gyrojet rocket guns
Prototype guns using a small rocket-propelled projectile rather than conventional ammunition. A limited number were made in real life for trials by the US and British military forces, but the design never caught on, and the guns and ammunition are now very collectible (and therefore highly sought after and expensive).
X-Ray Desk
Used by Osato to identify any concealed firearms that his prospective 'clients' may have.
Poison-delivering string
Used by a Japanese SPECTRE assassin to deliver a dose of poison from an attic by having it running along its length to land directly in the victim's mouth. Referenced or used several times in subsequent popular culture as well, such as in the gamebook series The Way of the Tiger.[19]
Bo with retractable spear
used by a SPECTRE henchmen who infiltrated Tanaka's base in an attempt to assassinate Bond.
Lipstick gas

Diamonds Are Forever

Cloning Facility
Blofeld's cloning facility where he picked candidates to surgically alter to resemble him. The facility contained various gadgets and surgical tools to which Bond later uses against him (which is later revealed to be one of his clones).
Biometric fingerprint scanner
A projector-like device used by Tiffany Case in her Amsterdam apartment to identify her guests. One such example of how this device is used is when she takes the glass which Bond was using, then dusting the surface for a print and running it through the device and comparing it with a known fingerprint sample of her supposed guest.[13][9]
Pocket snap trap
A small gadget hidden in a pocket to give a person performing an unwanted search on the wielder a painful surprise.
Fake fingerprint
Bond uses a fake fingerprint that clings to his thumb to trick Tiffany Case into believing he is Peter Franks.[6][22]
Mountaineering Pistol
Fires a grappling piton, complete with line; range about 10–15 meters. Also used as an improvised weapon against (a fake) Blofeld.
Electromagnetic RPM Controller Ring
Q created a ring that, when used, ensures a jackpot at any slot machine.[9]
Grappling suspenders
In the last leg of Bond's elevator-top ride to Willard Whyte's suite, Bond uses the grappling cord built into his suspenders. The gadget's design is similar to that of the belt in For Your Eyes Only and GoldenEye.
Voice changer
Blofield uses this to trick employees that he is Willard Whyte. Q puts together a makeshift one to fool Blofield, remarking that he made one for "the kids last Christmas."[3]
Elevator with trap door
Used by Blofeld in Willard Whyte's building to incapacitate Bond. A spray of white smoke is emitted from the ceiling of the elevator rendering the occupant unconscious. A version of this elevator is used by villain Karl Stromberg in his sea lair where the floor separates ejecting the occupant into the shark tank (from the film The Spy Who Loved Me).
Water Sphere
Used by Bond to "walk" on water when he is parachuted near Blofield's platform.
Fake Muffler
One of the smugglers in the Diamond smuggling ring used a fake motorcycle muffler, which was actually a storage compartment for the diamonds. This man was later killed by Mr. Wint.
Scorpion
Not a gadget, but used as one. Used by Mr. Wint to kill one of the Diamond Smugglers
La Bombe Surprise
"Cake" with an "explosive filling", actually a domed shell covered in cake icing covering a small explosive device with a timer. Used by Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd, and unsuccessfully deployed against Bond. The bomb ended up being tied to Mr. Wint's rear end and tossed overboard, with explosive results.
Flaming Shiskabob
Not a gadget, but used as one. When exposed by James Bond to be the assassins responsible for eliminating everyone in the diamond operation, Mr. Kidd then takes a pair of Shiskabobs and lights them on fire with the intent of using them as weapons. Unfortunately, this plan backfires massively, as Bond throws alcohol through the Shishkabobs and onto Mr. Kidd, instantly setting him on fire.
World's Greatest Marching Band Cassette Tape
Tape used to control the laser satellite's movements.
Industrial Satellite Laser
The final product of all the diamond smuggling throughout the movie. Built by light refraction expert Dr. Metz, this laser is activated by using several hundred diamonds to concentrate and amplify a laser beam strong enough to destroy ICBM facilities, submarines, and other strategic targets from outer space orbit. Blofeld uses this device to extort money from Washington DC. Similar devices appear in Goldeneye and in Die Another Day which are satellite weapons deployed from outer space. This device is also similar to most other laser devices throughout the Bond film series, with this one being the largest and most powerful laser to date.
Blofeld's Mini-Sub/Wrecking Ball
Suspended on a Crane intended to be lowered down into the water, this was Blofeld's escape vehicle should his plan fail (and it does). Bond however intercepts Blofeld's escape and uses this Mini-Sub still suspended on a crane as a wrecking ball with Blofeld still inside the sub.

Never Say Never Again (non-Eon; 1983)

Pen gun
A fountain pen emblazoned with the Union Flag of the UK that can fire an explosive charge, albeit delayed.[8]
Rolex Wristwatch
Equipped with a small laser beam cutting tool.
Motion-sensing bomb
Actually Bond's cigarette case, supposedly equipped with a gyroscope that would trigger the detonator when moved. Used to fool a henchman into letting 007 crash Largo's charity ball. This was the only time Bond improvised by inventing a fake gadget on the spot.

David Niven era (1967)

Casino Royale (non-Eon; 1967)

Cigarette gun
Similar to the one used in the later Eon movie You Only Live Twice. Used by James Bond to kill the firing squad that tried to execute him in one scene.
Sleeping pills.
Although these are used in hospitals today, Miss Goodthighs tried to knock out Evelyn Tremble before he could play baccarat against Le Chiffre.
Suit with various gadgets in the pockets
Q tries to explain this to Evelyn Tremble, but he ignores him.
Le Chiffre's torture room
Le Chiffre uses this to torture Tremble to get the cheque to his winnings.
Bagpipe with hidden machine gun.
Used by Vesper Lynd to kill Tremble.
Minox B 8x11 Camera
Used by Q.

George Lazenby era (1969)

On Her Majesty's Secret Service

AR-7 .22 Survival Rifle
in the pre-credits opening scene, Bond opens the glovebox of his Aston Martin revealing a stored AR-7 buttstock (its barrel and receiver are normally stored within the buttstock), a detachable suppressor and a rifle scope. He grabs the scope and uses it to watch Tracy walk into the sea. An AR-7 is part of the standard kit given to double-0 agents per From Russia With Love.
Radioactive lint
In the beginning of the movie, Q is showing M a homing device made out of regular lint.[9][3][1]
Safe cracker
A device that consists of a flexible cable ending in a grapple that is meant to be fitted on a typical safe combination lock. The machine would then examine the lock, figure out its combination and open the safe. In addition, the device sports an Olivetti wet-type photocopier that could allow for easy copying of secret documents to minimise the chance of the owner learning of the break in by missing documents. Wet-type photocopiers are actually unsuitable for field missions because they must not be tilted lest the highly toxic transfer liquid spills out. Unlike the safe cracker used in You Only Live Twice, this device was quite slow, taking close to an hour to open the safe (in the film, Bond uses the device while the safe's owner is on a lunch break and barely completes the job before the man returns).
Minox Camera
Bond uses a small camera to take snap shots of a map that shows where the "Angels Of Death" are to release a biological agent.[13]
Angel of Death kit
The weapons and communications devices for the Angels of Death, ostensibly presented to them by Blofeld as a Christmas present. It includes a communications device disguised as a pocket mirror (so as to receive messages from Blofeld) and the deadly virus which Blofeld intends to use to destroy all food on Earth if the UN doesn't give in to his demands; the virus is disguised as a perfume spray.

After Bond resigns from MI6, we see him cleaning out his desk, and gadgets from past films are shown, including Honey Ryder's knife from Dr. No, Red Grant's garotte watch from From Russia with Love and the miniature re-breather from Thunderball.

Roger Moore era (1973–1985)

Live and Let Die

Although Major Boothroyd/Q and Q Branch are not present in this film, this film remains the most gadget heavy in the series.

Pulse detonator
Used by one of Kananga's henchmen to kill Agent Dawes at the UN, by replacing his translation feed with the detonator and sending an explosive noise into his head, killing him instantly.
Rolex Submariner
This specially modified Submariner has a powerful electromagnet that, in theory, can even deflect a bullet.[6][9][11][7] The watch bezel also spins to operate like a mini circular saw that can cut ropes.[8]
Bug Sweeper
a hand-held device that can sweep a room for electronic microphones.
Pre-Recorded Audio Device
Kananga uses a pre-recorded audio conversation of himself when he knows he's being monitored by the CIA. This allows him to do tasks while Felix Leiter thinks he's giving a speech. Bond uses a similar device later in A View to a Kill
Clothing brush communicator
A lint brush with a communicator.[3] It can also transmit messages in Morse code.This same prop later appeared (used in a similar manner) in the 1975 Doctor Who serial Revenge of the Cybermen.
Shark gun
Fires special pellets that expel highly pressurised air to make the target explode. Although it is designed for combating sharks, Bond is able to activate a pellet manually before forcing Dr. Kananga to swallow it.[6][9][8][1]
The 'Felix Lighter'
Radio transmitter/receiver disguised as a car cigarette lighter installed in a CIA vehicle, which Bond uses to contact his friend, Felix Leiter. This is the first of the "Genuine Felix Lighter" items that Bond uses, the second being in the film License to Kill..
Robo-Samedi
for unknown reasons, this robotic replica of Baron Samedi pops out of the grave during the sacrificial voodoo scene of Solitaire. Bond quickly dispatches of this fake and the real Samedi appears.
Flute communicator / flute radio
Baron Samedi uses this device as a regular flute and as a direct radio transmission communicator to Dr. Kananga[23]
Voodoo Figures
Found in the jungles of Dr. Kananga's island, they contain surveillance cameras as well as shoot poison darts at unwanted guests, as well as recently useless agents to Kananga such as Rosie Carver.
Poisonous Snakes
Used several times throughout the film as weapons or for ceremonial purposes. Comes in many different shapes, sizes, and colors.
Trap Door
Used in both the New Orleans location of Fillet of Soul restaurant and in "Voodooland" in San Monique to gain entrance to Mr. Big/Dr. Kananga's secret underground lair of operations. The San Monique trap door was initially only used to send the robotic Baron Samedi up through the cemetery to sentence the victim to death by snakes, and is triggered by a hat, a sword and a bell. Bond later tricks the trap door operator with the sword into allowing him and Solitaire inside.
Bulletproof Glass in Taxi
used by one of Kananga's henchmen to prevent Bond and the recently defected Solitaire from escaping.
Trick Coffin
Coffin like device with a false bottom that is used to pick up the recently deceased on the ground. Such was used on the murdered MI6 agent Hamilton, who was investigating a Fillet of Soul restaurant in New Orleans.
Shoe Box Communicator
Used by another one of Kananga's henchmen posting as a shoe shiner in a network of surveillance personnel.
Revolving Dinner Table
Installed at the Fillet of Soul location in New York, this revolving table brings both special and unexpected guests to the secret back room from where Mr. Big/Dr. Kananga operates.
Prosthetic arm
Tee Hee's mechanical arm which contains a very strong claw capable of crushing and cutting through objects.[3]
Flamethrower Spray Can
In Bond's hotel room at San Monique, a snake appears. Bond quickly uses his Aftershave can with his cigar as a makeshift blowtorch to kill the snake. This is unusual as it was not a Q branch gadget.
Trap Door Air Vent
A trap door designed to look like air vent. This device actually employs a low tech solution to killing Bond, which is a poisonous snake. This was completely undetectable by Bond's Bug Sweeper (see above).
Side Mirror Dart Gun
Placed on the side mirror of Kananga's Cadillac Eldorado, this device was used to kill Bond's driver in New York City.
Kananga Balloon
A very inflated version of Dr. Kananga. Bond makes Kananga swallow a compressed gas pellet making him inflate before exploding. There is evidence that this pellet contains helium or hydrogen (a gas lighter than air) as Kananga rises to the ceiling while inflated before he explodes.
Coffin with Snakes
For ceremonial purposes, a coffin with snakes is present at the sacrificial ritual of Solitaire. Bond quickly tosses Baron Samedi into the coffin, but perhaps to no effect, as he is seen alive at the end of the film.
Airplane with wings torn off
A small airplane with its wings torn off. Used to evade and chase Kananga's men around the airport. A similar vehicle would be used in the film Spectre.
Monorail
A transportation system used by Dr. Kananga in his lair to move large amounts of his "shipments" out. Bond and Solitaire later use this mode of transportation to get out of Kananga's lair.
Watertight Metal Containers
Each container is capable of carrying twenty cans of "shipment" weighing 25lbs each with a total of 500lbs and is watertight. Whisper later finds himself falling inside one of these containers after he meets with one of Bond's signature "Hanging Kick."

The Man With The Golden Gun

Nearly all gadgets in this film belong to the main villain, Francisco Scaramanga.

The Golden Gun
Scaramanga assembles his Golden Gun using a pen (which acts as the barrel) screwed into a cigarette lighter (which acts as the firing chamber), a cigarette case (which acts as the handle), and a cuff link (which acts as the trigger). This gun however is limited to only one bullet.[9]
Gold Bullets
Handcrafted by specialty munitions manufacturer Lazar, these are 4.2mm (an unusual size, slightly smaller than a .17 ACP) and made of 23-karat gold. The bullets flatten upon impact. This action, combined with Scaramanga's extraordinary marksmanship, expedites the rate of death of the victim 
007 Gold Bullet and Bellydancing Trinket Gold Bullet
Although not gadgets themselves, these pieces of evidence were used to track down Scaramanga. The first bullet, with Bond's Double-O registry etched into it is later revealed to be sent not by Scaramanga or any of his contractors with a hit on Bond, but by Andrea Anders Scaramanga's mistress herself as a way to lure Bond into killing her Lover/Employer Scaramanga and setting her free from his world. Sadly this does not work as she ends up accidentally exposing herself and becomes a victim of one of Scaramanga's gold bullets. The Bellydancing Bullet came from another one of Scaramanga's victims, that being Bill Fairbanks agent 002. Bond tracks down the dancer who used the bullet as a bellydancing stomach trinket that was lodged in the wall after it was used to murder Fairbanks.
Fake Nipple
Bond uses this as part of his disguise.[9]
Solex Agitator
Device that enables the utilization of solar energy as a power source on an industrial scale.
Solar Power Plant
A facility developed by Scaramanga during his apprenticeship with Hi-Fat which utilizes the solar power from the Solex Agitatior. Scaramanga had plans to sell it to the highest bidder before the facility was destroyed indirectly by Goodnight.
RMS Queen Elizabeth
A fully operational MI6 Facility located within the beached wreck of the RMS Queen Elizabeth. Contains areas to examine salvaged technology from opposing nations, as well as labs for Q Branch.
Industrial Laser Cannon
A weapon that comes with the use of the solex agitator. Similar to the industrial lasers used by Auric Goldfinger and Blofeld, this weapon was used to destroy Bond's aircraft docked at Scaramanga's island.
Tracking Device
Used to track Scaramanga's flying car
Scaramanga's Fun Palace
Filled with replicas of historic figures significant to Scaramanga such as Al Capone as well as several moving mirrors and a Saloon. Also contains a replica of James Bond himself.
Airplane Car Attachment
A pair of wings, tail section, and a turbine jet that comes as an attachment to Scaramanga's AMC Matador Coupe. Enables his vehicle to fly large distances.
007 Wax Dummy
A near exact duplicate of James Bond, complete with a retractable railing that at a push of a button would either advance or retreat out of the shadows. Used by Scaramanga as both a tool of admiration and target practice. Bond would later impersonate the dummy and kill Scaramanga when he was not looking.

The Spy Who Loved Me

Most of the gadgets in this film belong to, or are directly influenced by the main villain, Karl Stromberg.

Jaws' Teeth
Made of stainless steel, his razor sharp teeth are what he uses to dispose of his victims by biting into their jugular.[11][24] The strength of these "dentures" are also shown when he is able to bite through the skin of a shark and thus killing it. Its weakness however, being that it is made of steel, is that it is vulnerable to industrial-sized super-magnets which are normally used in junkyards to lift vehicles. In addition to this, Jaws himself has above average at 7'2" as well as above average strength.
Micro-Film Reader
Assembled from two components:
Ski pole gun
A specially designed ski pole which is modified to fire .30 calibre rounds from a four-shot magazine in the handle.[9][11][8]
Seiko Quartz watch
Basically working like a pager, it had a built-in telex that allowed MI6 to send important messages to Bond, printing them out like a miniature teleprinter. The tape bore some resemblance to label maker tape.[9]
Stun Gas Cigarette
The cigarette used by Soviet agent Triple X, could unleash a knockout blow of stun gas when blown through.
MI6 Headquarters in Cairo
Disguised to resemble an Egyptian Temple, this facility houses the offices of MI6 as well as Q Branch division. The following gadgets were all being tested at the Q Branch area of the temple, with only one of them actually being used by Bond in the film. A list of the gadgets being tested is listed below:
  • Sharp Tea Tray
  • Hookah machine gun[9]
  • Seats with booby trapped knives
  • Cement Blaster (later installed on The Lotus Esprit which Bond uses)
Lotus Esprit car that converts into a submarine.[6][9][7]
Sharp Tea Tray
Although never used, it is shown tested in Q's lab, cutting off a mannequin's head. The tray, in conjunction with a magnetic levitation delivery system, was lethal.
Nuclear ICBM Detonator
Another Atomic or Nuclear based weapon of mass destruction featured in a Bond Film. This device is responsible for detonating a nuclear warhead in an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. Equipped with a magnetic housing, Bond had to carefully remove the device which would have been rigged to explode if the Detonator came in contact with the magnetic areas of the housing.
Submarine Tracking System and Microfilm
The initial object of Bond and Amasova's original mission in Cairo. The tracking system was developed at Stromberg's Facility, but was leaked by one of the developers in order to make an extra profit out of it. Stromberg sent Jaws to retrieve the blueprints to avoid any possible link to his company. Jaws however was unsuccessful in retrieving the blueprints.
SS Liparus oil tanker
Not really an oil tanker, her massive size contains a launch bay in the fore section of the ship where 3 nuclear subs can be housed. Other high tech toys this ship conceals includes:
  • A mini monorail system from which the cars can be ejected out of a hatch on the side of the ship and convert into speedboats
  • A bulletproof control room with slots fitted for machine guns and flamethrowers for the Liparus crew to use against the submarine crews
  • Nuclear ICBM missiles
  • and the Submarine Tracking and Electrical Interference system used to capture the Soviet, British and American submarines.
Monorail Boat
A mini-monorail car which would ferry people around the large areas of the SS Liparus which turns into a small boat when ejected out of the side of the vessel.
Wet Bike aka "Wet Nellie"
Built by Q Branch, this Jet Ski that can be assembled and disassembled in a small amount of time, much like the "Little Nellie" gyrocopter from You Only Live Twice and fitted into a small duffel bag when disassembled
Atlantis Sea Base
Stromberg's main base of operations located off the coast of Sardina, Italy. This gigantic sea base is capable of submersing and re-appearing above the surface of the water. A listing of its gadgets follows:
  • Waterproof Helipad, complete with clear dome that covers the landing area of visiting Helicopters when base is submerged
  • Sony Surveillance Monitor used to monitor several rooms of the sea base. Comes complete with button panel, in which the red button was used to destroy helicopter containing the inventors of the Submarine tracking system. Other buttons includes the one which operates the elevator the trap door
  • Trick Elevators with Trap Doors that lead to Shark Tank
  • Dinner Table Gun
  • Retracting Paintings that show monitors of Stromberg's Shark Tanks
  • Shark Tank
  • Large Aquarium with above average fish and other rare marine life inside
  • Giant Electromagnetetic Device, located above the Shark Tank for unknown reasons
  • Escape Pods, complete with champagne and bed
  • Large Scale Model of the SS Liparus (display purposes only)
  • Submarine Tracking System (also present in SS Liparus)

Moonraker

Jaws's Teeth
With the character of Jaws making a comeback appearance in this film due to his popularity, his trademark steel teeth came back as well. Although hardly used in this film, the strength of his teeth are shown when Jaws bites through a steel cable holding up a Cable Car. He also uses them to open a bottle of champagne for himself and Dolly when they fall back to Earth.
Wrist dart gun
A dart gun concealed under the wearer's sleeve.[6][9][7][1]
Secret Laboratory
In Venice, the secret lab in which the nerve gas vials are constructed is hidden by a seemingly normal door on the outside. Accessible by punching in a code on the outside of the door that resembles the tune to Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Safe-cracking device
X-ray safe cracking device that is concealed within a cigarette case.
Seiko Wristwatch
Contains a remote detonator and explosive charge and fuse inside the back compartment.
Multi Purpose Coffin
Used by Drax henchmen in an attempt to assassinate Bond, this coffin comes with a lid-mounted panel that offers assorted knife weapons the assailant could use against Bond. It also fulfills its basic design as a coffin when Bond kills the assailant hiding inside and closes the lid with the assailant still inside of it.
Hover Gondola
A gondola equipped with a propeller engine and hovercraft equipment for quick escapes by both land and water.
Camera
A mini-camera imprinted with 007.[9]
Moonraker Laser gun
A laser gun that can be shot in space. The gun is also used in the video game GoldenEye 007. A version of this gun is shown being tested to somewhat gruesome effect on a wax dummy during Bond's visit to the MI6 monastery. They were tested at Q-Branch, and used by United States Outer Space Marine Infantry and Drax Industries armaments.
Exploding Bolas (seen tested in the MI6 monastery)
Designed to entrap an object, such as a human, and explode when the bola balls hit each other.
Mexican Machine gun (seen tested in MI6 monastery)
A cleverly disguised machine gun which is contained in a mannequin of a Mexican taking a siesta. The mannequin splits open, revealing the gun.
Poison Pen
One of CIA agent Holly Goodhead's toys. Bond uses this particular gadget to dispose of Drax's pet python.
Perfume Flamethrower
Another toy of Holly Goodhead
Notebook
A notebook that shoots a small dart, belonging to Holly Goodhead
Transmitter
A transmitter hidden in Holly Goodhead's purse.
Drax Space Shuttle and NASA Space Shuttle
Both of which are equipped with above average weapons such as lasers and infantries equipped with laser weapon technology.
Laser Firearms
Used by Drax's Henchmen, MI6 Agents training in Brazil, and the US Space Infantry. These weapons fire lasers instead of bullets and is shown to be more effective in Space than conventional firearms.
Cloaking Device
Used to mask the radar signature of Drax's Space Station. This device was taken offline by Bond and Goodhead, which then gets the attention of NASA and then sends their own Space Shuttle to intercept.
Nerve gas globes
The staple of Drax's plan to kill all of humanity. Bond accidentally discovers what they are in a Venetian laboratory (he accidentally kills two scientists after removing the nerve gas phial and it smashes). 50 globes are installed on the Moonraker Space Station, to be used to kill all of humanity in a "necklace of death". Three of them were launched; the other 47 were incinerated in the destruction of the space station. Bond and Goodhead take over Moonraker Shuttle #5 and use its laser to destroy the three globes already in space

For Your Eyes Only

Colombo's Dove Pins
A clothing pin with Milos Columbo's "Dove" logo on it. Used by Locque under orders from Kristatos to be placed on a recent murder scene he committed to frame Columbo. This pin was finally used against Locque when he drives nearly off a cliff with his car is hanging on the edge. Bond then throws the Dove Pin that he retrieved from his most recent murder of his contact Ferrara into Locque's car, causing his car to lose balance and fall off the cliff onto the rocks below (with some help from Bond himself kicking the car).
Seiko Wristwatch
Receives digital message read-outs and contains a 2-way radio/transmitter for voice communications.[13]
"Remote Control Airways"
Also known as a Remote Control Helicopter, this term was made up by Ernst Stavro Blofeld as he takes Bond on a wild ride in this Helicopter. This helicopter is seemingly an ordinary one, except that it is remotely controlled by Blofeld himself.
Blofeld's Motorized Wheelchair with Helicopter Interface
Installed on Blofeld's motorized wheelchair, this interface comes with a helicopter instrument panel complete with gauges, flight controls, and TV monitor displays that are used in conjunction with video cameras placed both on the front of the helicopter and one inside to monitor the cabin's occupants. This allows Blofeld to pilot the Helicopter without being inside of it. It also contains a switch which remotely kills the current pilot through an electrical shock to his headset.
Arm Cast
Developed by Q-Branch, but not used in the field. This would look like an ordinary cast on a broken arm, except that it can also be used on an assailant coming from the back by springing out and bashing the purpotrator.
Table Umbrella
An ordinary outdoor table umbrella used by Bond as a makeshift parachute to slow down his descent when jumping off a high wall at Hector Gonzales' compound.
Spiked umbrella

Manta Ray over-cover
used to disguise Bond as a Manta Ray when infiltrating Krest's ship
Decompression Chamber
Used for deep sea divers to help them decompress after diving in deep waters, this device was also used as a weapon of execution by Sanchez. Milton Krest's ship, the Wavekrest, had one, and was used by Bond to frame Krest for stealing Sanchez' money. Krest then found out the hard way how a Decompression chamber could be used as a weapon, as he was stuffed in it and Sanchez rapidly compressed and decompressed it, which caused Krest to messily explode everywhere.
Petrol with Cocaine

Goldeneye satellite
An orbital satellite based weapon capable of delivering high powered electro-magnetic shock waves which can shut down any electronic operation on Earth. Alec Trevalyan controls the satellite in Cuba with the intention of using it on London, ruining its economy and thus causing chaos (only after he's robbed the entire Bank of England through his hacker employee Boris Grishenko).
Trevelyan's Cuban radar dish base
A gigantic radar installation used by Trevelyan to control the movements of the Goldeneye satellite. The radar dish alone is so large that when submerged in water, it would resemble a small lake thus concealing its whereabouts. This facility comes complete with surface-to-air missiles that would destroy any unwelcomed visitors from the air while submerged. This is similar to Blofeld's volcano base where the outer cover of the retractable roof is painted to resemble lake water. The dish used in the movie is an actual working radio telescope: the Aricebo telescope in Puerto Rico. It was also featured in Contact.

Cigarette lighter
A disguised timed explosive/grenade.
Spike fan
Weapon developed by Wai Lin's counterpart division to Q Branch. Appears to be a Chinese fan, but when opened, several metal spikes with strings attached are thrown.

Used by MI6 and operated by R (Q's replacement) to locate Bond and Dr. Christmas Jones in Istanbul after Bond destroys the nuclear submarine. This device uses satellite thermo-imaging on a large display screen to show heat signatures coming from various objects including people. MI6 staff was treated to a surprise when they did finally find Bond and Dr. Jones on their thermo-locator.
Industrial-sized circular saw
Helicopter mounted circular saw assembly. Helicopters carrying these fly by and trim tree foliage. Two of these helicopters are sent to attack Bond and destroy his BMW.

This film marks the only one occasion in the Bond film series where Bond has expressed concern as to what Q will think when equipment is destroyed "Q's not gonna like this!" when his BMW Z8 is sawn in half. This takes place after Major Boothroyd's final appearance in the film series; Desmond Llewelyn was killed in a car accident before the next film began production.

Die Another Day

Single Digit Sonic Agitator

One was a superimposed black-and-white photo of M on the Union Flag, the other was a one-armed bandit casino machine which showed five skulls, before showing M a YouTube video of five exposed MI6 agents, and the threat of "five more, every week". Both carried the same stark message: "Think On Your Sins".
Silva's prosthetic
A prosthetic device used by Silva to mask his deformed face following his suicide attempt in 1997 when he was exchanged to the Chinese, under M, in exchange for other MI6 agents' release. The device chiefly consists of a denture for Silva's upper jaw, masking his rotten teeth, as well as a titanium arm that inflates his sunken left cheek and drooping eyelid on the same side, as well as presumed inbuilt devices to give him a Hispanic tan, help him breathe with inhalers and help him speak with an Electrolarynx.
