  2. If I had to take a guess, I'd say that's a silenced H&K MP-5.
    Or a similar silenced submachine gun of some kind.

    But isn't his stance a bit too brash / aggressive for subtle, suave Bond?
    Or maybe they're continuing on the previous movie's young, raw Bond personility...

    And I don't know if you remember, we once spoke about Rocky and it's racist connotations.
    There're quite a few links on the net that discuss it, if you're interested.

    For ex:
    One reason for the curious invisibility of ROCKY's racism is that Rocky himself and all his circle of friends show not a tinge of racism

    A reverse racism,of sorts :)

  4. Just downloaded and watched Casino Royale again and realized that the gun in this poster was actually the one in the last scene in that movie.
    (Did you already know this?)

    So hit google and found this on the first try.

    It 'is' a silenced H&K submachine gun!
    Only, it's a UMP9 and not an MP-5 as I'd guessed.

    Talk about lucky guesses :)

  5. Yeah, the new movie starts off some 20 minutes after the first one ended, apparently.
