Its really interesting now that we have some of the Bond films on Blu-ray, how much extra detail you can pick up, things that have passed most of us by. For instance, just been watching Dr No and noticed that in one gunfight, Connery goes from a PPK ( although probably a PP) to a Colt 1911 for a brief moment, ( which has a stove-pipe stoppage) then the next frame he's back to a walther!
On the disc exras theres an interesting interview with Geoffrey Boothroyd, the firesrms expert. For some reason I thought he was Scottish, he certainly lived there. He's actually got a bit of a brummie accent ( Birmingham area for our American cousins). He fires a shot from a .25 beretta, a Walther ppk and a .44 magnum as comparisons. Worth a watch.

see I can only imagine what fans in 1960's thought of it.
