From Russia with Love

The following weapons were used in the film From Russia with Love:

From Russia With Love (1963)

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.

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, 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

Assassination of Krilencu.

Bond shoots the helicopter pilot.

In the film,the AR7 seems to kick alot for a .22; I suspect the "firing" was mere pantomime...

Armalite AR-10

SPECTRE trainees at the boot camp and rifle range use Armalite AR-10s, among other weapons.

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.

Mauser C96 "Broomhandle" Commercial Version - 7.63x25mm Mauser.

Grant checks his C96 while watching the Bulgarians at the gypsy camp.

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. (Note: Why a Soviet guard would be carrying a Walther P38 is unexplained) Guess: Well, they probably couldn't get any actual Soviet pistols since this was made during the Cold War, though I suppose they could have at least given him a Walther PP/PPK, which resembles a Makarov PM.

CZ 45

Grant pulls a Czech CZ 45 .25 calibre pistol from an ankle holster and uses it to intimidate Bond on the Orient Express.

Grant holds his CZ45 pointed at Bond. The suppressor for his PPK can be seen in his jacket pocket.

While a CZ 45 would have been a good choice,I'm pretty sure this is a Llama XVII or XVIII (.22 Short or .25 ACP),note the visible hammer,not cocked... As for the PPK you see the extension that screws into the barrel.

Beretta 418

Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya) draws a .25 ACP Beretta 418 pistol with pearl grips during her last-ditch attempt to steal the Lektor from Bond's hotel room. Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi) uses it to kill Klebb and save Bond.

Beretta 418 (it was 007's main sidearm in the novel version).

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.'

Tatiana fires the Beretta at Col. Klebb.

This also looks to be a Llama XVII or XVIII, except in the screencap with Tania firing where the gun really does appear to be the Beretta.

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.

Unknown WW2 German Grenade Launcher

Used by some SPCETRE guards during the boat chase. I believe these are No.4 Enfields with grenade launchers attached and dubbed sounds...
