The closest was his wrist dart gun, which he got to fire twice.
Three times, actually. First the test shot at the portrait in M's office, then shutting down the centrifuge chamber, and finally the shot at Drax.
Tell me about it. As I mentioned previously, Moonraker was the first Bond movie my mom showed to me, and I was maybe eight or nine years old. Young enough to not get flirting, because when Bond asks Corinne about that list from her mother, she responded with "I never learned to read", and i took that at face value, going "How did you learn to fly a helicopter without being able to read?". Moving right along to her death (though the camera did pan away, so there's that), which is how I learned that dogs can actually kill people.Moonraker: campy shenanigans one minute, then a woman getting hunted down in the woods and torn apart by vicious Dobermans the next.
Sidenote, i did get to meet Corinne Clery (as well as TSWLM's Caroline Munro) at the first Stuttgart Comic Con all the way back in 2016, and got to tell her that she was pretty much my first Bond Girl (not counting the femme fatale on the plane earlier in the movie).
