The following weapons were used in the film From Russia with Love:
Pistols
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.
Mauser C96
Grant (Robert Shaw) carries a Mauser C96, 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 Model XVIII
Grant pulls a Spanish Llama Model XVIII .25 calibre pistol from an ankle holster and uses it to intimidate Bond on the Orient Express. Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya) draws a Llama Model 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 Model 418
Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi) picks up Rosa Klebb's dropped gun, that has now become a .25 ACP Beretta Model 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 Model 418. In the novel "From Russia with Love" it gets caught in Bond's clothing, which nearly costs him his life. In the following novel, "Dr. No", M forces Bond to switch to a new weapon: the Walther PPK.
Submachine Guns
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.
Lanchester Mk. I
A Lanchester Mk. I can also be spotted at the firing range.
Rifles
Armalite AR-7
Bond uses an Armalite AR-7 survival rifle with a custom suppressor and infra-red scope, 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 Karabiner 98k
Mauser Karabiner 98k rifles were seen in the hands of SPECTRE guards at SPECTRE island. Mauser Karabiner 98k 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.
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.
Machine Guns
Bren gun
SPECTRE trainees at the boot camp and rifle range also use .303 Bren guns.
Miscellaneous
Webley & Scott No. 1 Mk. III* Signal Pistol
Bond uses a Webley & Scott No. 1 Mk. III* Signal Pistol to ignite fuel drums during the boat chase.
Custom Flamethrower
One of the SPECTRE trainees at the boot camp is also seen with a custom flamethrower.
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 pistol recently sold in auction for US$439,000.(http://www.thedeadbolt.com/news/109247/james_bond_gun_christies_auction_news.php)
Gun Barrel opening sequence
Again, as in Dr. No we can see Bond shooting his Walther PPK at someone holding a 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.
