'''''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]].  ''Octopussy'' was also released the same year [[Sean Connery]] returned to the role of Bond in the rival film ''[[Never Say Never Again]]''.

==Walther P5==
 +
Instead of his traditional Walther PPK, James Bond ([[Roger Moore]]) carries the newer [[Walther P5]] as his sidearm in this film. Notably, Bond loses his pistol shortly after arriving in India, subsequently telling Q he "mislaid my PPK" despite the fact he had been carrying a P5; the incident may have been written in to explain the switch to a new gun, but the fact is Bond wasn't using a PPK even before this. The use of the P5 in the film was to appease Walther, who wanted to promote the new pistol. Interesting to note is that the P5 was also carried by [[Sean Connery]] in ''[[Never Say Never Again]]'', the rival film version of Bond released the same year as ''Octopussy''.

During the opening sequence, a bearded, hefty, lascivious cigar-smoking South American V.I.P. ([[Brian Coburn]]) (looking suspiciously like Fidel Castro) is seen with a holstered [[M1911A1]] pistol. Bond ([[Roger Moore]]) also has a holstered M1911A1 when he dons a military uniform to infiltrate a nearby base. After getting caught trying to plant a bomb inside the hangar, Bond's gun is taken by the South American Officer ([[Michael Halphie]]) who holds it to his back and takes him into custody.

The [[Walther PPK]] does make a brief appearance in the film, being held by a gloved hand in front of the woman during the title sequence. It is never featured during the film itself though.

Staff Sergeant Lancaster, 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 Diamondback]], 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. Note that standard USAF issue at the time was the [[Smith & Wesson Model 15]].

South American soldiers mostly wield Japanese [[MGC M16]] 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 of the soldiers' rifles (which becomes a blank-firing full-auto AR-15/SP1 rifle at that moment).

During the precredits sequence in the unknown Latin American country, the soldiers all wield Japanese [[M16 rifle series#MGC M-16 Model Gun Corp Replica Rifle|MGC M16]] replica rifles with 20 round magazines. The soldiers guarding James Bond ([[Roger Moore]]) after his capture are armed with M16s, after Bond pulls their parachute ripcords, commandeers one and uses it to shoot out the truck's left front tire, causing it to crash (it then becomes a blank-firing M16 for that part).
+
After pulling the soldiers' parachute ripcords, sending them up into the air, Bond ([[Roger Moore]]) commandeers one of their rifles, now a blank-firing full-auto [[M16#M16 Rifle|AR-15/SP1]] rifle, and uses it to shoot out the truck's left front tire, causing it to crash. Another AR-15/SP1 rifle appears later on in the hands of one of the soldiers watching the missile being fired.

Throughout the film, Orlov's Soviet forces and some border guards use [[Norinco Type 56]] rifles, the Chinese-made AK-47 clone.

Milled receiver [[AK-47#Kalashnikov AK|Kalashnikov AK]]s rifles, and a few [[AK-47#AKS-47|AKS]]s, are used by virtually all of the Soviet soldiers in the movie. The East German border guards also use milled-receiver AKs.
+
Among the armament depicted as standard Soviet (Warsaw Pact) weaponry in this classic Cold War adventure is the surprisingly accurate [[AKM]] assault rifle. Hastily seen carried by one soldier just as General Gogol ([[Walter Gotell]]) discovers the stolen Soviet treasuries in the salvaged Mercedes-Benz's boot. There's also a scene shown earlier featuring one soldier firing his ''Kalashnikov modernized assault rifle'' at 007 in an effort to prevent him from escaping with General Orlov's luxury auto (containing the invaluable jewels in the trunk). Bond, however, counters that effort as he drives into some stacked oil barrels nearby, knocking them over and sending them into the crooked general's minions, incapacitating them before he drives off.

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. Octopussy 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:


Pistols

Walther P5

Instead of his traditional Walther PPK, James Bond (Roger Moore) carries the newer Walther P5 as his sidearm in this film. Notably, Bond loses his pistol shortly after arriving in India, subsequently telling Q he "mislaid my PPK" despite the fact he had been carrying a P5; the incident may have been written in to explain the switch to a new gun, but the fact is Bond wasn't using a PPK even before this. The use of the P5 in the film was to appease Walther, who wanted to promote the new pistol. Interesting to note is that the P5 was also carried by Sean Connery in Never Say Never Again, the rival film version of Bond released the same year as Octopussy.

Walther P5 - 9x19mm
While in India, James Bond draws his Walther P5 as his contact Vijay helps him escape. This is the "PPK" Bond later tells Q he lost, but it is clearly the larger P5. To be fair, the pistol is only glimpsed briefly in this scene and most casual viewers probably wouldn't notice the difference.
Bond confronts Octopussy (Maud Adams) armed with his P5.
Bond pulls his P5 when he confronts General Orlov (Steven Berkoff).
Bond with his P5 as he gets into a shootout with Soviet soldiers outside the train.

Walther PPK

James Bond's trusted Walther PPK briefly makes an appearance in the opening credits.

One gloved hand is holding the Walther in front of a woman.

M1911A1

During the opening sequence, a bearded, hefty, lascivious cigar-smoking South American V.I.P. (Brian Coburn) (looking suspiciously like Fidel Castro) is seen with a holstered M1911A1 pistol. Bond (Roger Moore) also has a holstered M1911A1 when he dons a military uniform to infiltrate a nearby base. After getting caught trying to plant a bomb inside the hangar, Bond's gun is taken by the South American Officer (Michael Halphie) who holds it to his back and takes him into custody.

Colt M1911A1 Pistol - .45 ACP. This was an issued U.S. Army pistol with parkerized finish, thus the official designation of M1911A1.
South American V.I.P (Brian Coburn) (a Fidel Castro look-alike) checks out Bond's female assistant Bianca (Tina Hudson). He has the M1911A1 in his leather hip holster.
Bond (Roger Moore) talks to Bianca while strapping on the holster with the M1911A1 inside.
South American Officer (Michael Halphie) has taken Bond's gun, puts it to his back, and takes him in for interrogation.

Astra Cub

Opening credits prominently feature the Astra Cub pocket pistol. It is also the sidearm of Octopussy (Maud Adams) during the attack on the palace.

Kamal tells Gobinda (Kabir Bedi) to go after Bond (while dangerously pointing the gun at him, with his finger still on the trigger!).
Gobinda goes up on the roof after Bond while Kamal stays behind with his pistol.

SIG P210

A SIG P210 is seen stuck out the train window by "Kamal Khan" due to a continuity error as the filming moved to on-location-shots on board a train at the Nene Valley railway,

SIG P210 (1950s Manufacture) - 9x19mm
"Kamal Khan" (his stand-in) sticks the SIG P210 out the train window to shoot at James Bond.

Revolvers

Colt Diamondback

Staff Sergeant Lancaster, 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 Diamondback, 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. Note that standard USAF issue at the time was the Smith & Wesson Model 15.

Colt Diamondback - .22 LR
A guard puts his Colt Diamondback in Bond's face. Note the trigger guard and grip that distinguish it from the similar Colt Python.

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.

Smith & Wesson Model 36 - .38 Special
Octopussy aims the Model 36 at the lock.

Rifles & Carbines

FN FAL

This weapon is used by a few South American soldiers in the opening sequence. The FN FAL is also seen carried by one guard outside the British Embassy in West Berlin and by some of Kamal Khan's guards at his palace.

Fabrique Nationale FAL 50.00 - 7.62x51mm NATO

One South American soldier is seen carrying an ArmaLite AR-180 (circled) as they prepare to fire a missile at Bond's aircraft.
Two soldiers is seen with ArmaLite AR-180s (circled) next to and behind Colonel Toro.

MGC Replica M16 Rifle

South American soldiers mostly wield Japanese MGC M16 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 of the soldiers' rifles (which becomes a blank-firing full-auto AR-15/SP1 rifle at that moment).

AR-15/SP1

After pulling the soldiers' parachute ripcords, sending them up into the air, Bond (Roger Moore) commandeers one of their rifles, now a blank-firing full-auto AR-15/SP1 rifle, and uses it to shoot out the truck's left front tire, causing it to crash. Another AR-15/SP1 rifle appears later on in the hands of one of the soldiers watching the missile being fired.

Norinco Type 56

Throughout the film, Orlov's Soviet forces and some border guards use Norinco Type 56 rifles, the Chinese-made AK-47 clone. Besides the obvious Russians' using Chinese weapons issue this is an anachronism since the milled receiver AK-47 was well obsolete by this time for the USSR frontline troops.

Norinco Type 56 without under-folding ("pig sticker") bayonet - 7.62x39mm. This is the "sanitized" (M22-code) export version made with no factory markings and the selector markings in the Latin alphabet (L for full-auto and D for semi-auto).

Adler-Jäger AP-80

Orlov's forces are also seen with Adler-Jäger AP-80 rifles (.22 LR replicas of the Soviet Kalashnikov AK-47/AKM) while patrolling platforms and railway tunnels near the border. Some border guards also carry these while they're seen investigating the crashed Mercedes that is being brought up from the river.

Steyr AUG

Oddly, carbine versions of the Steyr AUG is used by a few Soviet soldiers in the movie. This is likely the earliest appearance of the Steyr AUG in a Hollywood film.

AKM

Among the armament depicted as standard Soviet (Warsaw Pact) weaponry in this classic Cold War adventure is the surprisingly accurate AKM assault rifle. Hastily seen carried by one soldier just as General Gogol (Walter Gotell) discovers the stolen Soviet treasuries in the salvaged Mercedes-Benz's boot. There's also a scene shown earlier featuring one soldier firing his Kalashnikov modernized assault rifle at 007 in an effort to prevent him from escaping with General Orlov's luxury auto (containing the invaluable jewels in the trunk). Bond, however, counters that effort as he drives into some stacked oil barrels nearby, knocking them over and sending them into the crooked general's minions, incapacitating them before he drives off. Note: In an extended view depicting this scene (from the trailer) there's one great, detailed shot showing the distinctive features identifying this firearm, including front sight, slanted muzzle brake and 45 degree gas block.

AKS-47

One Soviet soldier carried an AKS-47 while at the river sight inspecting the Mercedes-Benz. Also carried by one guard coming to aid Kamal Khan (Louis Jourdan) fight off Bond during the attack on the palace in the finale.

Sa vz. 58 V

Seen carried by one Soviet soldier behind General Gogol (Walter Gotell) at the river site as the general is shown the stolen jewels in the trunk of the car. One of Kamal Khan's guards also carries the Sa vz. 58 V, using it to shoot at Bond (Roger Moore) who kills him, takes the gun, and uses it (most notably while sliding down the banister).
