The gun fires 9x19mm Parabellum rounds and can be equipped with a suppressor. A gold-plated version is available in multiplayer.
Glock 17
The Glock 17 pistol appears in the game as the GF17. This of course is a reference to the infamous film Goldfinger. It can be equipped with a suppressor. The Glock 17 was featured in Tomorrow Never Dies and Casino Royale
Glock 18
The Glock 18 pistol appears in the game as the GF18. This is also a reference to the infamous film Goldfinger. It comes with a 30 round magazine and a laser sight. It can also be silenced.
Smith & Wesson SW1911
A nickel Smith & Wesson SW1911 appears in the game as the CR1911. It is named after the 2006 Bond film Casino Royale, and is the main pistol of all other characters aside from Bond in the game. The 1911 style pistol has been used in many Bond films and games, starting with Dr. No in 1962.
Smith & Wesson Model 500
This revolver is a Smith & Wesson Model 500. It only holds 5 rounds, hinting that it shoots .500 S&W rounds. It is called the LTK Super Magnum in the game, an obvious reference to the Bond film "Licence to Kill".
Armsel Striker
Resembles an Armsel Striker, but is magazine fed. Referred to in-game as the A4 Hutchinson. The Amsel Striker was used by the Cigar Girl during the speedboat-chase in The World is Not Enough
Remington 870
Remington 870, with an S & J Hardware rail system (the AR15-870 CQB MKII) to give it it's distinctive look in the game. Used on a number of levels, usually as perk to exploring. The 870 in the game does have a fiber optic sight on the front of the rail system, unlike the real-life rail system. Also of note, the name 'Hutchinson A3' is given to it by the weapons designer for the game, who has the last name of Hutchinson.
Winchester 1300 "Defender"
Only seen in Wii Multiplayer, under the name 1300 AUTO, which is based on the Winchester 1300 "Defender".
MAC-10
The MAC-10 is referred to in-game as the Mantis. It can be uprgraded with a laser, and is one of the most common weapons in the game. MAC-10s are commonly used weapons in the Bond films and games: Jaws (Richard Kiel) used one in Moonraker and James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) used two of them in Die Another Day. Also of note is that the grip seems to be swept back, instead of the mac 10's distinctive 90 degree grip.
Heckler & Koch MP5A2
The Heckler & Koch MP5A2 appears as the SAF 9mm. It comes with tri-rail handguards and a forward pistol grip. The gun can also be modifed with an ARO red-dot scope and a suppressor, and a gold-plated version is available for multiplayer use.

Heckler & Koch UMP
The Heckler & Koch UMP makes an appearance in this game. It can be equipped with a suppressor and laser. It's called the SAF .45, even though it clearly has the curved magazine only present on the 9mm UMP. The UMP made several appearances in the film Casino Royale, and is prominent in promotional artwork for Quantum of Solace.

Colt Model 933
The Colt Model 933 appears in this game as the TND-16. It fires 5.56mm NATO ammunition and comes standard with a R.I.S.-styled rail handguard and pistol grip. It can be outfitted with a suppressor, a EOTECH sights and laser (in single player missions only). This weapon is named after the film Tomorrow Never Dies. Strangely, in the campaign, after inserting a new magazine, Bond feels inclined to rack the charging handle on the 933, even though a round is in the chamber already. No round will be extracted at this point, in fact, the bolt doesn't even move. Even if he is reloading on an empty magazine, he could just use the bolt catch instead of cocking it.

Beretta CX4 Storm
The Beretta CX4 Storm Although not directly in the game, the VKP-08 bears a strong resemblance to the CX4. The VKP-08 actually features a bullpup design and fires rifle rounds, as opposed to the storm's pistol rounds, and has a longer barrel. The similarities are marked, though.
FN SCAR

Various grenade types
In-game, you can use fragmentation, flashbang, and smoke grenades, all of which have different forms.

This weapon is used during the Venice stage, where it is used to kill Gettler, similar to the film Casino Royale. In the XBOX 360 and PS3 versions of the game, the player is rewarded for shooting Gettler through his blackened lens, mirroring his death in the film.
Golden Gun
A gold-plated Smith & Wesson 686 is available only in the multiplayer. Notably, it fires explosives bullets that behave more like grenades. Unlike previous cinematic and video game Golden Guns, it is a revolver, not a single-action pistol. The Golden Gun in the novel The Man with The Golden Gun, was however a revolver, albeit a Colt SAA instead of a Smith & Wesson.
