James Bond if famous for his gadgets, but is it possible to narrow it down to the 5 best Bond gadgets? We consulted Q Branch to find out —turns out you can. Here's a list of the 5 best Bond gadgets—try to get it back in one piece, if you can.

1. Briefcase-With-A-Knife-In-It Sometimes the best Bond gadgets are the simplest. This one, seen in "From Russia With Love," appeals to anyone who's ever wanted to stab someone while also looking like a serious businessman. Classier than the Clipboard-That-You-Can-Bludgeon-People-With, and simpler than the Pocket-Calculator-With-The-Poison-Square-Root button, the Briefcase-With-A Knife-In-It is ideal for stabbers-on-the-go.

2. Aston Martin DB5 This is the first "gadget-car" in the film series and it's also one of the best Bond gadgets, as seen in the classic Bond adventure "Goldfinger." It's got all kinds of nifty features, like a revolving license plate, an ejector seat, and machine guns. Like most of the best Bond gadgets, this probably isn't an attainable item even if you're mechanically inclined. But by all means, don't let us stop you from trying to install an ejector seat in your Camry.

3. Undersea Jet Pack Exercising, as we all know, is a pain in the ass. The best Bond gadgets make it easy to do the things you want to do without all that boring and tedious "effort." So next time you feel the itch to go swimming, why not take along a James Bond Limited Edition Undersea Jet Pack? All those lame "swimmers" will be fighting to catch up, giving you plenty of time to blow up the bad guy's hideout and have sex with whatever girl it is you're hanging out with at that point. Also, it's got a headlight!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. False Nipple This one isn't just one of the best Bond gadgets, it's also a hilarious party gag! In "The Man With The Golden Gun," James Bond uses it to disguise himself as Scaramanga, he of being-a-notorious-assassin and having-a-third-nipple fame. But for the real world, the possibilities are much more fun! People will laugh as they try to guess where you'll put the fake nipple next—on your forehead? On your buddy's forehead? On your other buddy's forehead? Go wild, you crazy guy, they're loving it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Moonraker Laser Blaster The best Bond gadgets are appealing to almost anyone - and who doesn't want a damn laser gun? It's just like a regular gun, except that it shoots lasers. In "Moonraker," James Bond gets to use it because his mission involves traveling to outer space, but there's no reason you can't use it if you're making a run to the grocery store or something. After all, this is reality, not a movie!
