Original theatrical poster for The Living Daylights (1987)

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, I'll have my eighty!" It appears to be the same brown-gripped PPK as he uses in Licence To Kill.

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.

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 (instead of a Makarov or Tokarev,as would be expected. Although, this gun may be meant to appear to be a Tokarev, as it looks like one).

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.

Saunders offers Bond some ammunition. He assumes he would want the soft-nosed rounds.

Bond prefers steel-tipped rounds, which he loads into the WA 2000, because he mentions that KGB snipers usually wear body armor.

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.

It wasn't until 1988 that toy weapons were required to have a blaze orange cap on the barrel.)

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.
