What kind of gun was Bond brandishing at the end?

It looked like the Buttstock of a Sig 550, but the actual construction of an MP5.

Looks really badass, and this movie makes me so hooorny!!

A suppressed UMP in either 9mm or .40 S&W.

The UMP 45 uses non curved mags IIRC.

Yeah I can't recall seeing one with curved mags.
 
This looks great. If this one delivers, it will finally remove the bad taste in my mouth from the Brosnon Bonds.

EDIT: Yeah, I just saw the other comments, it looks like a 9mm to me, tbh, but I'm not sure.

Nice. Daniel Craig is friggin James Bond. I thought Peirce Brosnon was pretty decent, but damn, Craig kicks much more ass than all the bonds combined (except connery). I may have to say something sacrilegious though. I think Daniel Craig will go down in history as the best bond ever... even better than classic Connery.

And its all thanks to Jason Bourne being so badass...they had to cut the corny crap out of the Bond movies to even begin to compete...

Its not so much that its Daniel Craig being good for the role, its that he gets to enjoy much better writing/directing than previous Bonds. The same holds true for Christian Bale in the new Batman movies. When you have an entire cast and crew that is going to take the movie seriously, and not just treat it as another paycheck, then you have a real formula for true success.

I think the ending of Casino Royale suggests at why Bond can seemingly sleep around with no consequences (other than unspoken of STDs 😛), so I think you'd be SOL 😉

I have to agree that this new more graphic Bond is much more appealing to me then the cheesy 1 liner Bonds of the past.

so you prefer a pretty boy bond over a tough guy bond?

considering that's who James Bond is...
doesn't even have anything to do with the actor. the last movie very little story to it that made no sense.
 
I normally don't care for Bond movies and only watched the last one on a raving review from a friend and WOW it was great, I will see this for sure.

you do realize that Casino Royale is based on Ian Fleming's original Bond book, right? Bond was supposed to be an unrefined tough guy first and playboy second. Somewhere along the line, his character was changed to be a pretty boy playboy first with corny one liners. And you say last bond movie had no story, which of the recent bond movies had a story?

Every Bond movie ever made has sucked so badly they're only good for camp value and trivia contests.

Except the last one. You sir, have no taste in movies.
