JB posed like that with the machine gun right at the end of Casino Royale (immediately after shooting Mr White in the foot), the story of which flows onto QoS. Bond uses the same machine gun during the subsequent car chase in the beginning of QoS - the first time I've ever seen Bondy use a machine gun, if I'm not mistaken.
However, I have a problem with the idea that JB used the machine gun to snipe the foot/leg of Mr White. There was but a single shot from a distance, highly accurate, and it sounded like there was a silencer used as well. Machine guns are not known for their accuracy and most machine guns don't have silencers (and JB didn't seem to have one on his machine gun either). It didn't even sound like a shot from a light machine gun (I have used them before).
So I believe that JB had a hidden accomplice to help him apprehend Mr White at the end of Casino Royale, which makes perfect sense as he had opportunity to organise help. It is just that we don't get to see the accomplice. Hope the baddies didn't get them ;)

machine gun, or semi automatic? pretty sure ol bondy uses an AK in golden eye and other assault rifles in earler movies...
Zebidee:
I just watched that bit again. JB does have a silencer on the MG. It was a semi-auto style, and most modern MGs have a semi option anyway. So the movie makers are suggesting that JB was the shooter. Nonetheless, I found it difficult to believe that Bondy was taking the shot while also talking on the telephone, and also why the bloody hell not have a bit of support? JB doesn't have to do everything all by himself after all! Ah well, that is the movies and the Bond myth ...
shmokes:
And it was, after all, rather personal.
Zebidee:
Having just watched QoS right after Casino Royale, the movie makes a LOT more sense. It is littered with references that go back to Casino Royale and, also, reveals information that will only be meaningful in later movies!
In fact I am getting the feel that the new JB is more like 24 - an ongoing story, gritty realism, countries at stake, desperation, and a tough as nails hero who, in reality, is quite short (Keifer Sutherland is only 5'9", although the Jack Bauer character is actually meant to be 5'11").
