Series?
I would say letting Goldfinger be sucked through a decompressing aircraft window, it's hard too top that IMO.
Maybe Red Grants final fight?
For me it has to be Professor Dent in Dr. No.
"That's a Smith and Wesson, and you've had your six."
It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place.
I'm not convinced Goldfinger shooting out a window in order to suck himself counts as a Bond kill.
Now, this is a signature gun, and that is an optical palm reader.
Professor Dent from DR NO.
He was already out of bullets.

Bond shooting Elektra in the forehead while she was armed with a walkie talkie deserves mention, THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH.
Which recalls Bond shooting the unfortunate young Russian soldier in the forehead before he can unsling his rifle, OCTOPUSSY. Timing is everything.
Kevin: Man, why Don't we just do his job, so we Can do our job and get the *beep* out of here?
Steve: What do you mean, "do his job?" What am I, a Cold-Blooded kiLler? I'm not a cold-blooded killer.
Kevin: Now, wait a Minute...
Steve: No, you wait a minute. You want to kill the good guy but not be the bad guy. Doesn't work like that. You have to wait until the bad guy kills the good guy, then when you kill the bad guy, you're the good guy.
Kevin: So - just to clarify - if we do his job we're the bad guys, and if we do our job we're the good guys.
Steve: Yes.
Kevin: That's... great.
Neither of those are really "cold". They were both trying to kill him. And he didn't even kill Goldfinger with his own hand.
I would agree with two already listed- Dent in DN or the soldier in OP. Could be one I'm forgetting. Dryden in CR was to complete a mission, so not him.
Cold to me is an unarmed target. Whatever the justification, even stopping a nuke.
And that soldier wasn't presented as bad or associated with the villain, it strikes a chord with me.
I'm motivated by my Duty.
FYEO when Bond caused the car to fall off the cliff
shareNeither of those are really "cold". They were both trying to kill him.
Totally agree. I'll go one step further with the young soldier's death in OP. The whole audience laughed including me because he was so stunned and of course no one cared about him because he was about to shoot 007.
