Revision as of 19:21, 23 December 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 M1911
In the film's opening, a bearded, hefty, lascivious cigar-smoking general (suspiciously a Fidel Castro look-alike) and Bond (Roger Moore) is seen with holstered Colt M1911 pistols. Later, one of the Latin American military soldiers takes Bond's M1911, holds it to his back and takes him into custody.
Unidentified Pocket Pistol
Some sort of Pocket Pistol is seen at the beginning of the title sequence just as the title Octopussy appears on screen.
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. It is also seen in one of the five female hands that's wrapping around a silhouette of Moore as Bond.
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.

A large target style Pistol with ventilated ribs on the barrel, is seen in the first of the female hands that wraps around Bond's silhouette in the titlesequence.
Walther PPK
The Walther PPK does make a brief appearance in the film, first seen in one of the hands wrapped around Bond's silhouette, and then later being held by a gloved hand in front of the woman during the title sequence. It is never featured during the film itself though.
Another Unidentified Pocket Pistol
Some kind of Pocket Pistol is seen in one of the five hands that wraps around Bond's in the title sequence.
Unidentified Semi Automatic Pistol
An unknown semi-automatic Pistol that resembles a Colt Combat Commander is seen in the last of the hands that wrapp around Bond, it has a spurred hammer instead of the standard commander hammer.

Third Unidentified Pocket Pistol
Yet another Pocket Pistol is seen in the hands of a woman in the titlesequence.
Tokarev TT-33

Smith & Wesson Model 39
Kamal Khan (Louis Jourdan) fires a Smith & Wesson Model 39 at Bond while the latter hangs onto the train.
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.
