With James Bond on undercover missions, his gadgets should be inconspicuous so as to not blow his cover... only just blow his teeth off!
Gadgets play an important role in James Bond’s missions. They either aid him in accomplishing the mission at hand, or get him safely away from sticky situations. Leave it up to Q (short for Quartermaster) to supply 007 with the equipment tailor-fit for each job.
