Octopussy (1983)
Original Theatrical Poster for Octopussy (1983)

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:


Handguns

Colt Government Model

During the opening sequence, 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 Colt Covernment Model pistols. After getting caught trying to plant a bomb inside the hangar, Bond's Colt is taken by the South American Officer (Michael Halphie) who holds it to his back and takes him into custody.

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.

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.

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 Colt AR-15/SP1 rifle at that moment).

Colt 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 Colt AR-15/SP1 rifle, and uses it to shoot out the truck's left front tire, causing it to crash. Another Colt AR-15/SP1 rifle appears later on in the hands of one of the soldiers watching the missile being fired.

General Orlov (Steven Berkoff) arrives to India accompanied with soldiers armed with Type 56 assault rifles. The border guards and many of the East German soldiers are seen with Type 56s as well.

Steyr AUG

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

AKM

Following his first meeting with General Orlov (Steven Berkoff), Bond evades some soldiers and takes of in the general's Mercedes-Benz W108 280SE. Driving the car, Bond is intercepted by soldiers led by Orlov. One of the soldiers is seen firing an AKM at the car before he gets hit by some barrels Bond knocks over with the car. After ending up in the river, the car is brought up and inspected by soldiers working for General Gogol (Walter Gotell). One of the soldiers guarding the crash-sight also has the aforementioned assault rifle.
