Revision as of 18:42, 4 July 2012
The following weapons were used in the film From Russia with Love:
Walther PPK
James Bond (Sean Connery) carries a Walther PPK in .32 ACP as his personal sidearm. Kerim Bey (Pedro Armendariz), head of MI-6's "Station T" in Turkey, also carries a PPK. Donald "Red" Grant (Robert Shaw) takes Bond's PPK and holds it on him on the Orient Express. Some Soviet agents also use it, perhaps because Makarov PM's weren't available for the film.
MP40
The SPECTRE guards on Blofeld's boat carry MP40s, as do the SPECTRE assassins sent to kill Bond via helicopter or boat. Morzeny (Walter Gotell) leads a boat full of MP40-wielding gunmen.
Thompson M1928
One of the SPECTRE trainees is reloading a Thompson M1928 as Klebb and Morzeny walk past. Several others can be seen at a rack in front of training station #1.
Armalite AR-7
Bond uses an Armalite AR-7 survival rifle with a custom suppressor, issued to him by Q, to assassinate Krilencu. Kerim Bey (Pedro Armendariz) eventually does the shooting. Q mistakenly reports the rifle to be .25 caliber, while it actually fires a .22 Long Rifle cartridge.
- Note: It is quite possible that Q has modified a normal Armalite AR-7 to accept .25 ACP cartridges
Armalite AR-10
SPECTRE trainees at the boot camp and rifle range use Armalite AR-10s, among other weapons.
Mauser Kar98k
Mauser Kar98k rifles were seen in the hands of SPECTRE guards at SPECTRE island. Mauser Kar98k rifles were also seen in the hands of both the Gypsies and the Bulgarian agents later in the film.
L1A1 Self Loading Rifle
An L1A1 Self Loading Rifle was seen on a gun rack at SPECTRE's boot camp and rifle range.
Unidentified Sniper Rifle
This weapon can be seen in the training facility.
Sten
This Sten Mk.V can also be spotted at the firing range.
Bren gun
SPECTRE trainees at the boot camp and rifle range also use .303 Bren guns.
Flamethrower
One of the SPECTRE trainees at the boot camp is also seen with a flamethrower.
Mauser C96
Grant (Robert Shaw) carries a Mauser C96 with a ten-round magazine, most notably during the gypsy shootout, using it to kill a Bulgarian about to kill Bond.
Walther P38
A Soviet guard at the Russian consulate fires a Walther P38 during Bond's attack, but Bond stops him during a small struggle.
Llama XVIII Especial
Grant pulls a Spanish Llama XVIII Especial .25 calibre pistol from an ankle holster and uses it to intimidate Bond on the Orient Express. Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya) draws a Llama XVIII pistol with pearl grips during her last-ditch attempt to steal the Lektor from Bond's hotel room. After killing her, Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi) holds Klebb's Llama.
Beretta 418
Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi) picks up Rosa Klebb's dropped gun, that has now become a .25 ACP Beretta 418 pistol with pearl grips, and uses it to kill Klebb and save Bond.
Trivia: In the early novels, James Bond's sidearm was a Beretta 418. In the novel "From Russia with Love", it gets caught in Bond's holster, which nearly costs him his life. In the following novel, "Doctor No", M forces Bond to switch to a new weapon: the Walther PPK.'
Walther LP-53 air pistol
Sean Connery holds a Walther LP-53 air pistol in all promotional shots for the film. It is not a real model firearm, just an air pistol.
When the prop Walther PPK didn't show up for David Hurn's photo shoot of the actors, he provided his own Walther air pistol with the barrel airbrushed out on American posters. The original weapon recently sold in auction for US$439,000.(http://www.thedeadbolt.com/news/109247/james_bond_gun_christies_auction_news.php)
Flare gun
James Bond uses this during the boat chase.
Lee-Enfield No.4 & Energa Rifle Grenade
SPECTRE agents use what appear to be mocked-up or dummy Energa rifle grenades (designated by the British as Grenade, Rifle, A tk, No. 94 Mk. 1, and by the US Military as M28) attached to Lee-Enfield No.4 rifles.
Gun Barrel opening sequence
Again, as in Dr. No we can see Bond shooting his Walther PPK at someone holding Smith & Wesson revolver, from the point of view of the inside of the barrel. Again, it's not Sean Connery, it's Bob Simmons, whom we see in this scene. It's need to be noted, that sequence is not 100% identical to the one in Dr. No.
