Revision as of 17:01, 19 August 2012
Octopussy is the 13th entry in the official James Bond film series. The 1983 installment follows James Bond (Roger Moore) as he travels to India and West Germany while investigating the death of a "00" agent who was in possession of a rare Fabergé egg. Of note is the switch from Bond's traditional Walther PPK to the then-new Walther P5 and for one of the earliest appearances of the Steyr AUG. This film was also released the same year Sean Connery returned to the role of Bond in the rival film Never Say Never Again.
The following weapons were used in the film Octopussy:
Handguns
Colt M1911A1
In the film's opening, one of the Latin American military soldiers flashes a M1911A1 when he takes Bond into custody.
Astra Cub Model 2000
During the attack on Kamal Khan's palace, Octopussy (Maud Adams) pulls a nickel-plated Astra Cub, but it is knocked out of her hand by Gobinda (Kabir Bedi). An Astra is also held by a woman in the title sequence.
Makarov PM
One of the women in the title sequence is seen holding a Makarov PM as the "007" logo is emitted in laser beams.
Walther P5
The Walther P5 is the sidearm of James Bond (Roger Moore) in this film, despite having told Q that he "mislaid my PPK". The P5's use was to appease Walther, who wanted to promote the new pistol. Interesting to note is that the P5 was the same pistol used by Sean Connery in Never Say Never Again, the rival film version of Bond released the same year as Octopussy.
Walther PPK
The Walther PPK does make a brief appearance in the film, being held by a gloved hand in front of the woman during the title sequence. It is never featured during the film itself though.
Tokarev TT-33
General Orlov's sidearm appears to be an actual Tokarev TT-33 Pistol as he uses it to smash a Fabergé egg to peices as he considers it to have caused enough problem for them by leading Bond to them.
Colt Python
One of the U.S. Air Force Security police guards manning the gate at the West German U.S.Air Force base carries a Colt Python, which he draws on Bond when he attempts to enter with the German Police hot on his tail after stealing the car he is in. Because of the many civilians milling around, the guard is forced to fire his six shots into the air, to alert his comrades to the security threat.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Octopussy (Maud Adams) takes a Smith & Wesson Model 36 from one of the Air Force officers at the circus and uses it to blow the lock off the base of the circus cannon, revealing the atomic bomb inside.
Smith & Wesson Model 39
Kamal Khan (Louis Jourdan) fires a Smith & Wesson Model 39 at Bond while the latter hangs onto the train.
Rifles
Fake M16 Rifle
During the precredits sequence in the unknown Latin American country, the soldiers all wield Japanese MGC M16 replica rifles with 20 round magazines. The soldiers guarding James Bond (Roger Moore) after his capture are armed with M16s, after Bond pulls their parachute ripcords, commandeers one and uses it to shoot out the truck's left front tire, causing it to crash (it then becomes a blank-firing M16 for that part).
SKS rifle
Several Soviet soldiers and some of Kamal Khan's guards can be seen with SKS rifles.
Kalashnikov AK/AKS
Milled receiver Kalashnikov AKs rifles, and a few AKSs, are used by virtually all of the Soviet soldiers in the movie. The East German border guards also use milled-receiver AKs.
Lee-Enfield No.4 MkI rifle
Most of Kamal Khan's guards use Lee-Enfield No.4 MkI rifles.
Steyr AUG
Oddly, carbine versions of the Steyr AUGs are used by a few Soviet soldiers in the movie. This is likely the earliest appearance of the Steyr AUG in a Hollywood film.
AKM
At least one actual AKM rifle is seen used by a Soviet soldier in the movie. It is only seen in a a short second when one of the Soviet soldiers fire ond Bonds car before he knocks some barrels on to them with the car. An extended clip of this seen was shown in a trailer for the movie where the front of the rifle is seen from the side very clearly.
SA Vz. 58V
The SA Vz.58 is used by some of Kamal's men and by a Soviet soldier, and Bond (most notably while sliding down the banister).
Sniper Rifles
Weatherby Mk.V
Kamal Khan (Louis Jourdan) carries a Weatherby Mark V as his men search for Bond.
Shotguns
Gobinda's Side by Side Shotgun
As he pursues Bond through the streets of Rajasthan, India, Gobinda (Kabir Bedi) is armed with a 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun with a huge fluted muzzle resembling a blunderbuss.
Other Weapons
BSA Scorpion spring powered air pistol
Octopussy (Maud Adams) and her team use specialized air pistols (BSA Scorpion) loaded with tranquilizers to fight off Kamal's men.
