Octopussy is the 13th entry in the official James Bond film series. The 1983 installment follows James Bond (Roger Moore) as he travels to India and West Germany while investigating the death of a "00" agent who was in possession of a rare Fabergé egg. Of note is the switch from Bond's traditional Walther PPK to the then-new Walther P5 and for one of the earliest appearances of the Steyr AUG. This film was also released the same year Sean Connery returned to the role of Bond in the rival film Never Say Never Again.
The following weapons were used in the film Octopussy:
Handguns
M1911
In the film's opening, a bearded, hefty, lascivious cigar-smoking South American V.I.P. (Brian Coburn) (suspiciously a Fidel Castro look-alike), and Bond (Roger Moore) is seen with holstered M1911 pistols. After getting caught trying to plant a bomb inside the hangar, Bond's gun is taken by a South American Officer (Michael Halphie) who holds it to his back and takes him into custody.
Colt Junior
Octopussy (Maud Adams) carries a nickel plated Colt Junior with pearl grips during the attack on Kamal's palace that is knocked out of her hand by Gobinda (Kabir Bedi). One is also featured in the opening credits.
Makarov
Opening credits feature a Makarov pistol prominently.
Walther P5
The Walther P5 is the sidearm of James Bond (Roger Moore) in this film, despite having told Q that he "mislaid my PPK". The P5's use was to appease Walther, who wanted to promote the new pistol. Interesting to note is that the P5 was the same pistol used by Sean Connery in Never Say Never Again, the rival film version of Bond released the same year as Octopussy.
Exact cap gun
Opening credits feature James Bond being entangled by five arms, as if they were tentacles. The first arms hand holds a cap gun by Edison Giocattoli called Exact.
Walther PPK
Bond's trusted Walther PPK makes an appearence in the opening credits.
Jaguarmatic cap gun
The gun in the last arms hand entangling Bond is another cap gun by Edison Giocattoli called Jaguarmatic.
TT-33
General Orlov (Steven Berkoff) appears to be carrying an TT-33 pistol in his holster. He uses it to smash a Fabergé egg to peices for causing them problems by leading Bond there.
Smith & Wesson Model 39
Kamal Khan (Louis Jourdan) is seen with a Smith & Wesson Model 39 on the train.
SIG P210
Kamal Khan's stand-in uses a SIG P210 as filming switches from studio to on location work on the railroad,
Colt Python
One of the U.S. Air Force Base security police guards manning the gate at the West German U.S. Air Force base carries a Colt Python, which he draws on Bond when he attempts to enter with the German Police hot on his tail after stealing the car he is in. Because of the many civilians milling around, the guard is forced to fire his six shots into the air, to alert his comrades to the security threat.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Octopussy (Maud Adams) takes a Smith & Wesson Model 36 from one of the U.S. Air Force base security police guards at the circus and uses it to blow the lock off the base of the circus cannon, revealing the atomic bomb inside.
Shotguns
Gobinda's Side by Side Shotgun
As he pursues Bond through the streets of Rajasthan, India, Gobinda (Kabir Bedi) is armed with a 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun with a huge fluted muzzle resembling a blunderbuss.
Assault Rifles
FN FAL
Dressed as Toro, Bond (Roger Moore) passes some South American soldiers carrying FN FAL rifles in the opening scenes. Guards at the Brittish Embassy in West Berlin and a few of Kamal Khan's guards in India also carry these.

A few South American soldiers can be seen with AR-18 rifles.
MGC M-16 Model Gun Corp
Most South American soldiers wield Japanese MGC M16 Model Gun Corp replica rifles with 20 round magazines. The soldiers guarding James Bond (Roger Moore) after his capture are armed with these M16s, after Bond pulls their parachute ripcords, he commandeers one and uses it to shoot out the truck's left front tire, causing it to crash (it has become a blank-firing M16A1 for that part).
M16A1
After commandeering one of the soldiers' rifles he uses it to shoot out the truck's left front tire, causing it to crash. At that point it's an actual blank-firing M16A1. One soldier is seen with what appears to be a M16A1 as they launch the missile.

AKM
One Soviet soldier can be seen firing an AKM at Bond before he gets knocked over by some barrels. In an extended clip of that scene, shown in a trailer for the movie, the front of the rifle is seen from the side, clearly identifying the rifle. Another one is seen at the sight of the car getting salvaged from the river..
Samopal vz. 58 P
One of the Soviet soldiers in the back of a truck blocking the exit of the circus area is seen with an Samopal vz. 58 P. One also seen carried by a soldier near the boarder station.
