The Living Daylights is the 15th installment in the official James Bond film series and marked the debut of Timothy Dalton in the role of Agent 007. The 1987 sequel finds Bond involved with the girlfriend of a Russian defector who claims to have evidence of a conspiracy to reignite tensions between the spy communities of the Soviet Union and the Western world. The cast included Jeroen Krabbé, Maryam D'Abo, Art Malik, John Rhys-Davies.
The following weapons can be seen in the film The Living Daylights:
Handguns
Walther PPK
James Bond (Timothy Dalton) carries his standard .32-caliber Walther PPK, both suppressed and unsuppressed. He draws it at the amusement park in Vienna, unintentionally scaring a young child. He most notably uses it to intimidate and, later, "assassinate" Gen. Pushkin in Tangier. He later uses it to try and kill Brad Whittaker, but the rounds fail to penetrate Whittaker's body armor. After Bond fires 8 shots at Whittaker, Whittaker responds, "You've had your eight, now have my eighty!" This brown-gripped PPK appears to be the same one seen used in the next film Licence To Kill.
Beretta Cheetah
Pushkin's KGB bodyguard (Alan Talbot) carries a Beretta pistol in a shoulder holster, most likely a Beretta Cheetah. It is possible this was supposed to stand in for the Makarov PM, a more likely weapon to be found in the hands of a KGB bodyguard.
CZ 83
Some police officers that chase Bond in Tangier have CZ 83 pistols. Many of the Soviet officers during the Afghanistan airstrip shootout also carry CZs. Necros (Andreas Wisniewski) uses one to attempt to assassinate Pushkin in Tangier. As with the Beretta carried by Pushkin's bodyguard, it is possible this was supposed to stand in for the Makarov PM, which would have been standard Soviet issue at the time.
Browning BDA
The female CIA agent sent by Felix Leiter (John Terry) uses a Browning BDA to convince Bond to go with them.
Colt Detective Special (1st generation)
A first generation Colt Detective Special is featured during the opening credits.
Beretta 418
In a tribute to Bond's sidearm in the original novels (up until Dr. No), a .25-caliber Beretta 418 is silhouetted during the opening credits.
Beretta Minx
What appears to be a long barreled Beretta Minx is held by a woman during the opening credits.
Heckler & Koch P9S
The assassin (Carl Rigg) who kills SAS trainers and MI6 agents at Gibraltar uses a suppressed Heckler & Koch P9S.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
The butler at the MI6 safehouse, referred to as "Green 4", carries a Smith & Wesson Model 36, which Necros (Andreas Wisniewski) takes and uses.
Smith & Wesson 4th Model
A Smith & Wesson 4th Model is prominently featured during the opening credits.
Star Model B
One of the Czech's with the Soviets chasing Bond and Kara near the Austrian border fires a Star Model B at them. As with the Beretta and CZ 83s seen elsewhere in the film, it is possible the gun is standing in for a much more probable weapon that would be found in Soviet hands - the Tokarev TT-33, to which it bears a passing resemblance.
Sniper Rifles
Walther WA 2000
James Bond (Timothy Dalton) uses a Walther WA 2000 sniper rifle given to him by Vienna station chief Saunders (Thomas Wheatley) to fire at the KGB sniper that turns out to be Kara.
Winchester Model 70
Kara Milovy (Maryam D'Abo) uses a Winchester Model 70 to "shoot" at Gen. Koskov during his defection. Bond damages the rifle with a shot from the WA 2000.
Rifles
AK-47
Many of the Soviet and Czech soldiers, as well as the Mujahideen use milled-receiver AK-47 assault rifles, most likely Chinese Poly Tech Legend copies. Kamran Shah (Art Malik), Bond and Kara's Mujahideen friend, wields an AK-47 during the battle with the Soviets. Kara Milovy (Maryam D'Abo) grabs Kamran's AK-47 to go off and help Bond. It is worth noting that the use of AK-derivative by Czechoslovak forces is a mistake as Czechoslovakia was the only Warsaw Pact member that used standard assault rifle of its own design (Samopal vz. 58).
AKMS
Many of the Bratislava Soviets carry AKMS derivatives. Soviets, Czechs, and Mujahideen also carry AKMS rifles, one of which Bond (Timothy Dalton) is able to grab from one of Koskov's Czech soldier on the plane.
Colt Commando M733
A Colt Model 733 is used by Brad Whitaker (Joe Don Baker) at his home, fitted with a transparent bullet-resistant shield. At one point, Whitaker erroneously states the weapon has an eighty-round capacity, which would be impossible given that it is loaded with a 30-round STANAG magazine.
Karabiner 98k
Several Mujaheddin members carry Karabiner 98k rifles. The Snow Leopard Brotherhood leader carries a Karabiner with a WWII-era scope.
M14
A Mujahideen fighter carries an M14 during the drug deal with the Soviets.
Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE)
Many Mujaheddin fighters carry Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE) rifles into battle with the Soviets.
Nock Gun
A Nock Gun is seen tripod-mounted in Brad Whitaker's weapon collection.
AR-15 pistol
Whitaker keeps an AR-15 pistol fitted with a rifle grenade in a drawer he shows to Pushkin.
Crossman Ratcatcher Air Rifle (modified)
Among the guns seen in Whitaker's collection is a ridiculously mocked up Crossman Ratcatcher Air Rifle with a skeleton stock.
Anschutz LG275 air rifle
While at the carnival in Vienna, Bond shows off his sharpshooting skills with an Anschutz LG275 air rifle. His skills prompt the concession's manager to insist that he stops playing and winning all the prizes.
Submachine Guns
Beretta PM12S
Some police officers that chase Bond in Tangier have Beretta PM12S submachine guns. Brad Whitaker also has one in his personal collection.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
In the precredits sequence, the SAS unit training with MI6 at Gibraltar uses Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns loaded with paintballs.
Heckler & Koch MP5K (modified)
Whitaker shows Pushkin a modified Heckler & Koch MP5K made to look as if it has grenade launching capabilities, telling him he needs the modern equivalent of a Maxim, a "3rd generation ... laser-sighting, short-barreled machine pistol". It has an SEF trigger group.
Walther MPK
The Czech VB officers use Walther MPK submachine guns.
Sa. vz. 61 Skorpion
KGB Gen. Leonid Pushkin (John Rhys-Davies) and some of his men use the Sa. vz. 61 Skorpion when arresting Koskov at Whitaker's residence.
MAT-49
One of the guards at the airport where Koskov loads Bond onto his plane carries a MAT-49.
Mini Uzi
Brad Whitaker (Joe Don Baker) uses a Mini Uzi in his shootout with Bond before getting his Colt Commando. One of Pushkin's men also is holding a Mini Uzi when apprehending Koskov later during the scene.
Machine Guns
MG3
During the car chase, one of the vehicles is mounted with an MG3 light machine gun, the 7.62 mm derivative of an MG42. The use of the MG3 by Bratislava Soviets is a mistake. The MG3 was a weapon used by NATO and was never used by the Czech Army.
Maxim MG08 Machine Gun
Arms dealer Brad Whitaker (Joe Don Baker) shows Gen. Pushkin a Maxim, talking about its use as the first true machine gun.
Colt 1874 Gatling Gun
Another weapon seen in Whitaker's collection is a Colt 1874 Gatling Gun.
KPV (mocked up Browning M2HB)
Koskov's Soviets and Czechs use several Browning M2HB machine guns during the airfield battle, mocked up with fake barrel shrouds to resemble KPV heavy machine guns. Necros (Andreas Wisniewski) uses one to fire at Kara from a Jeep driven by Gen. Koskov (Jeroen Krabbé).
RPD
An RPD is slung over the shoulder of a fighter transporting the opium to a Russian truck.
RPK
RPK machine guns are mounted on Panhard AML scout cars chasing down Mujahadeen fighters. The Panhards have been mocked up as Soviet reconnaissance vehicles.
Other
RPG-7
The Mujahideen use an RPG-7 during the airfield battle.
F-1 Hand Grenade
At one point during the battle, Kamran Shah uses a Soviet F-1 hand grenade to blow up a truck driven by Colonel Feyador.
"Ghetto Blaster"
Q shows off the "Ghetto Blaster", a rocket launcher disguised as a large "boom box" music player.
Aston Martin Weapons
Bond's Aston Martin V8 Volante is outfitted with several weapons including a cutting laser and missile launchers.
