 The Gun Zone -- The Goldfinger Myth   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
It seems to have originated in Ian Fleming's 1959 James Bond novel, Goldfinger in which 007 uses a "needle-tipped dagger" concealed in his shoe to puncture the Perspex cabin window of a Stratocruiser to dispatch his watchdog, "Oddjob," the hatchet-heavy.
The image of Auric Goldfinger zipping around the cabin like a deflating balloon and being reduced to jelly sucked out of the forty-five caliber hole in a window, was extremely visual, and obviously memorable, for people have been carrying that notion with them for the past 37 years.
