'''Hello! You have found my shop of strange and wonderful things!'''

====Bulletin====
'''April 27th 2020'''

Welp, I now have a fair bit more free time in my hands, thanks to China's horribly selective totalitarian state control determining that a highly contagious, deadly disease was not worth controlling.

I also just recently found out that the 1980s MacGyver series might not get further Blu-ray releases past Season 1. Reason being the poor sales of Season 1 Blu-ray. Although, there does exist some HD releases of other seasons in international broadcast, they may regrettably be beyond my reach for time being. Meaning they won't be use for me to ensure best possible quality for series screencaps.

Therefore, I have come to conclusion that I can just continue work with the PAL DVD collection I already have - at expense of wrestling with the poor image quality of select trouble episodes. Anyway, I might being work on Seasons 2 and 3 shortly. Hang tight.

==About me==

[[File:TSF_ArmaFennica2.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Arma Fennica 2, this book is pretty much responsible for my gun fanaticism]]

I'm a miltech nerd of sorts. Two things that I love in life are guns and movies... some others also happen to be video games and anime.
I discovered this wiki around 2008-ish. On 2014, I decide to join the wiki, thinking my know-how could be of use for the good of the wiki.

My love for guns came mainly for media I was exposed to - PS1 games like Metal Gear and Medal of Honor probably being the starting point for my habit.

Even at age of 11 I've researched guns, using the Finnish Arma Fennica 1 & 2 as help. My time with Arma Fennica changed my life and I've been reading stuff like Jane's, Greenhill Military Manuals, Twentieth-Century Small Arms and such ever since.

I'm not an gun owner myself - since I'm little weird in the head and that's a no-no in Finland. But I do own handful of replica weapons.

I'm pretty on and off visiting this site. So I just dissappear and reappear, because I'm just like that.

Tomorrow Never Dies (VG)

TrickShotFinn: /* Walther PPK */

{{WIP}}

[[Image:Tomorrow_Never_Dies_(VG).jpg‎|thumb|right|400px|''Tomorrow Never Dies (1999)'']]

'''Tomorrow Never Dies''' (also known as '''007: Tomorrow Never Dies''') is a 1999 third-person shooter stealth PS1 game based on the James Bond [[Tomorrow Never Dies|film of the same name]]. It was developed by Black Ops Entertainment (the company behind the infamous PS2 stinker ''Fugitive Hunter: War on Terror'') and co-published by Electronic Arts and MGM Interactive. It is the first 007 game that was published by Electronic Arts since acquiring the James Bond licence.

It got very mixed reviews from the game reviewers of the time, being unfavorably compared to [[Metal Gear Solid|Metal Gear]] and/or [[Syphon Filter]]. Not only that, it was universally deemed to be an inferior game to the preceeding Bond game adaption, the much heralded [[GoldenEye 007]]. Commercially it did not do as well as GoldenEye 007, but it atleast had enough success to get "Platinum" sales award from the ELSPA, indicating sales of at least 300,000 copies in the United Kingdom.

As the game's FMV sequences lift footage straight from the movie, the firearms depicted in those scenes are better explored on the [[Tomorrow Never Dies|the film version's]] IMFDB page.

'''The following weapons are used in the video game ''Tomorrow Never Dies (VG)'':'''
__TOC__ 

== Walther PPK ==

Bond's ever present [[Walther PPK]] appears here as '''"PK7"'''. It holds impressive 16 rounds in a single magazine - whereas in real life, standard PPK magazine ''generally'' holds 6-8 rounds. While magazine may run out ammo, there is always unlimited ammunition in reserve for it. It is also permanetly supressed.

It is featured in all missions with exception to the final one. It is used by Bond in Missions 1-8 and Way Lin in Mission 9.

Besides Bond and Wai Lin, certain antagonists carry the Walther PPK. Level 5 Boss, Dr. Kauffman, carries a PPK along with bizzare sci-fi style throwing stars.

[[Image:WaltherPPKSuppressed.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Walther PPK (Suppressed)]]
[[File:007TND PS1e PK7 1a.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Bond draws his PK7 at start of Mission 1.]]
[[File:007TND PS1e PK7 2a.jpg|thumb|none|500px|PK7 seen thru Bond's body.]]
[[File:007TND_PS1e_GoonPPK.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Mission 3 - Carver's nameless henchman pistol-whipping Bond with a PPK. Bond is little late to register the impact.]]

== "PK9" ==

The '''"PK9"''' is Bond's main sidearm for the 10th and final mission of the game. One would presume that PK9 is [[Walther P99]], as based on the weapon icon and the fact that in the movie, Bond also carries a P99 for the Stealth Boat for the final showdown. However, the PK9's in-game model is actually just same as PPK/PK7, but blackened finished instead of chrome/silver of PK7 variation. It can be presumed that this was developers cutting corners, since PS1's native graphics mudded lot of details and telling such object appart would've proved challanging. Not only that, the developers pulled few tricks - such as keeping Bond's hands empty or concealed during Mission 10 cutscenes - to avoid the con from being exposed.

Much like PK7, it holds 16 rounds in a magazine with unlimited ammunition in reserve. It has much lighter trigger, compared to the PK7, which allows for much faster firing and being more viable in the shoot-outs of the final level.

[[Image:Walther-P99-Silenced.jpg‎|thumb|none|300px|Walther P99 (Suppressed). This is what the weapon icon says the gun is.]]
[[Image:WaltherPPKSuppressed.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Walther PPK (Suppressed). This is what the gun's model actually is.]]
[[File:007TND_PS1e_PK9_1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Lo and behold - the truth of the PK9. What certain gamers may have presumed to be P99 was just a PPK with black finish all along. For the developers to mislead players with an weapon icon of P99 and cutting corners like this... it's no wonder they folded only 7 years after this game.]]

== Walther P99 ==

Bond ([[Pierce Brosnan]]) is seen holding a [[Walther P99]] on the game cover, as well as on the game's title menu.

[[Image:Walther-P99-Pistol.jpg‎|thumb|none|300px|Walther P99]]
[[File:007TNDPS1_TitleScreen.jpg|thumb|none|500px|James Bond ([[Pierce Brosnan]]) holding a P99 in the title screen.]]

== AK-47 ==

[[AK-47]] appears as '''"Assault"''' and hold 30 rounds in a magazine. It is sometimes powerful and sometimes weak, differing in every level. Despite it appearing lot in the game, the AK is not featured much in the movie except for the opening action scene.

[[Image:AK47-PolyTechLegend.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Poly Technologies AK-47 - 7.62x39mm. This is the commercial clone of the original Type III AK-47 and is the most used in American films and shows when showing the milled receiver AK-47]]

[[File:007TND PS1e AK 3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Bond aiming his AK at picture of Elliot Carver in mission 3. Bond doesn't like this painting, it's smug aura mocks him.]]

== MAC-10 ==

[[Ingram MAC-10]] appears as '''"SMG 45"'''. It holds 40 bullets in a single magazine and 250 at max in reserve. It appears to be enfitted with some sort of safety extension on the barrel. It is featured in missions 3 & 10.

[[Image:IngramMAC10.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|MAC-10]]
[[File:007TND_PS1e_MAC1_1280x960.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Bond observing his surroundings while holding an MAC-10.]]
[[File:007TND PS1e SMG45 2a.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Bond with the MAC-10]]

== Full-Auto Glock ==

A full-auto [[Glock]] - with no way to tell whatever it is Glock 18 or converted Glock 17 - appears as '''"Auto 9mm"'''. It holds 30 bullets in a magazine and 300 at max in reserve. It is featured in missions 7 & 8.

[[Image:Glock18Ext.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Glock 18 (2nd Generation) with extended 31-round magazine - 9x19mm.]]
[[File:007TND_PS1e_Glock_1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Bond with the full-auto Glock. Regrettably, the PS1 trademark warping has malinged the end of Bond's Glock.]]

== Barrett M82 ==

[[Barrett M82]] appears in the game in two configurations. There is a standard '''"Sniper"''' variation, with an basic scope with and a zoom function, which is featured in first two missions. There is also a '''"Infrared"''' variation with an infrared scope and zoom function, which featured in missions 6 & 7.

Curiously, when the enemy fire the Barrett, it fires in full-auto like a AK-47.

[[Image:BarM82Early.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Early Barrett M82A1 - .50 BMG. One of the first versions adopted by U.S. forces in Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm. Note different muzzle-brake and scope mount than the later A1 models.]]

[[File:007TNDPS1 Sniper3.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|View through the scope of the Sniper variation. The sentry is about to get a warhead into the forehead.]]
[[File:007TND PS1e Sniper4.jpg ‎|thumb|none|500px|Bond aiming the Barrett M82]]

== Sticky Mines ==

The sticky mine - or '''"STK.Mine"''' is shot to the surface where it sticks and is exploded with STK. DETN. when ready. It only appears in Mission 2 "Arms Bazaar", where it is needed to destroy large containers to reach mission objectives. It comes with only 5 mines to use.

The sticky mines themselves appear to be modelled after - though not identical to - the prop bombs Bond uses in [[GoldenEye (1995)|GoldenEye]].

The launcher Bond uses appears to be fictional/made for the game.

[[File:007TND PS1e STK 1.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|Bond holding the STK Mine launcher - whatever it's supposed to be.]]
[[File:007TND_PS1e_STK_2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Sticky mine planted on a container.]]
[[File:007TND_PS1e_STKLaunch3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Better view of the STK Mine Launcher. Regrettably, Bond had to be obliterated by a Tomahawk Missile in order to get this picture. His sacrifice won't be in vain.]]
[[File:007TND_PS1e_STKLaunch4.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Side view of the STK Mine Launcher. Again Bond had to be obliterated by a Tomahawk Missile in order to get this picture. Life is pain, Mr. Bond.]]

== Carl Gustaf M2 Recoilless Rifle ==
The [[Carl Gustaf M2]] rocket launcher appears as the '''"RL66"''' in the game. It holds 20 rockets.

It is featured in mission 9, where Wai Lin is tasked to find one at first half of the level. Eventually, a mid-boss wielding one is fought and is aquired as reward for beating him. The rocket launcher necessary to defeat the helicopter gunship boss at the end of the level.

[[Image:CarlGustavM2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Carl Gustaf M2 - 84x246mm R]]
[[Image:007TND_PS1e_RL_1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Wai Lin running around with the Carl Gustaf, as the guy in distance watches in nervous horror.]]

== Hawk MM1 grenade launcher ==

[[Hawk MM1 grenade launcher]] appears as the '''"GL40"'''. It holds 12 grenades in a drum and 18 at max in reserve, but with cheats we can see that true max is 25. It is featured in
mission 10, where Stamper uses it as his weapon of choice for the boss fight.

In [[The World Is Not Enough (video game)|''The World Is Not Enough'']], there appears a weapon bearing the GL40 yet again. However, in TWINE, it is modelled after the and [[M79 grenade launcher|M79 Grenade Launcher]] instead of Hawk MM1.

[[Image:MM1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Hawk MM1 grenade launcher - 40x46mm]]
[[File:007TND PS1e GL 1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Stamper draws his Hawk MM1 at Bond. ''This is not the view that is normally seen when his boss area is entered, it occured due to a glitch - where you open the door and do a dodge roll inside the boss room.'']]

== Gas Grenades ==

Appears as '''"Gasbomb"''', when it is thrown and it impacts the surface, it explodes into a cloud of lethal smoke.
It is featured in mission 5 where player is given 10 bombs to use.

== Concealed Machine Guns ==

'''"7.62 MM"''' is BMW 7’s machine guns. Comes with unlimited ammo. It's available in Mission 6 "Convoy" when driving the BMW 7.
The weapon icon appears to be machine guns of Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger.

== Missile ==
'''"Missle"''' is BMW 7’s missile system. It holds 10 missiles initially. It's available in Mission 6 "Convoy" when driving the BMW 7.

== Sterling Armalite AR-180 (heavily modified) ==

On main menu, Bond is seen holding the [[Tomorrow_Never_Dies#Sterling_Armalite_AR-180_.28heavily_modified.29|highly modified AR-180]] that he uses in the opening pre-title action sequence.
Regrettably, this gun is not available in the main game.

[[Image:Goldeneye-BondGun2.jpg|500px|thumb|none|The modified AR-18 used in ''Tomorrow Never Dies'' - 5.56x45mm]]
[[File:007TNDPS1_Mainmenu.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Main menu, picture of Bond holding the modded AR-180]]
[[Image:Bondar1801.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Production image of Pierce Brosnan as James Bond holding the AR-180. '''This is the picture used for the main menu graphic.''']]

== Mortars ==

Non-descript Mortars appear at Mission 2's Arms Bazaar. Photographing the group of mortars is one of targets the player must photograph during this level.
[[File:007TND_PS1e_MortarLv2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Camera view of the Mortars appearing in Mission 2.]]

== Gatling Guns ==

Featured in Mission 2, The Arms Bazaar. Much like in the movie, there is a twin [[Gatling]]-style guns mounted on a truck during the arms bazaar shootout.
[[File:Tomorrow never dies minigun robur.jpg|thumb|none|600px|'''From the movie''' - Twin Gatling-style guns are seen firing at 007.]]
[[File:007TNDPS1 GatlingTruck.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Truck with Twin Gatlings mouted on top. Appears at the Arms Bazaar main area, with the L-39 Albatros aircraft.]]

== The Gunbarrel ==

The game intro has the opening gunbarrel sequence in FMV format, lifted straight from the original film.

== Removed gun - The MP5 ==

There exists footage from E3 pre-release shows, that reveals there is a cut weapon. Judging from the weapon icon, the removed weapon appears to be MP5. While cut from the final game, the weapon is apparently present in the game's data.
[[File:007TND_PS1_beta_SMG.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Screencap from Beta footage. Weapon icon looks like MP5]]
IMO, it's actually baffling just why this weapon didn't get in, considering the MP5 and it's variants are quite prominent in the movie.

[[File:007TND_PS1e_PK9_1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Lo and behold - the truth of the PK9. What certain gamers may have presumed to be P99 was just a PPK with black finish all along. For the developers to mislead players with an weapon icon of P99 and cutting corners like this... it's no wonder they folded only 7 years after this game.]]

== Walther P99 ==

Bond ([[Pierce Brosnan]]) is seen holding a [[Walther P99]] on the game cover, as well as on the game's title menu.

There is also a '''"Infrared"''' variation with an infrared scope and zoom function, which featured in missions 6 & 7.

The sticky mines themselves appear to be modelled after - though not identical to - the prop bombs Bond uses in [[GoldenEye (1995)|GoldenEye]].

The launcher Bond uses appears to be fictional/made for the game.
