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.
Astra Cub
Prominently featured in opening credits is an Astra Cub pocket pistol with pearl grips. It is also the sidearm of Octopussy (Maud Adams) during the attack on Kamal Khan's palace.
Makarov (PM)
The Soviet Makarov pistol also appears in the opening credits.
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.
Walther Model PPK
Bond's trusted Walther Model PPK is briefly seen in the opening credits.
Tula Tokarev (TT)
General Orlov (Steven Berkoff) draws his holstered Tokarev pistol and uses it to smash the Fabergé egg Bond brought with him to India.

Smith & Wesson Model 39-2
Kamal Khan (Louis Jourdan) carries the Smith & Wesson Model 39-2 on the train.
SIG P210
Due to continuity error, Kamal Khan's becomes the SIG P210 as filming switches from studio to on location shots at the Nene Valley railway,
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.
Rifles & Carbines
FN FAL
During the opening sequence some South American Soldiers carry FN FAL battle rifles. It's also seen carried by the guard outside the British Embassy in West Berlin and by some of Kamal Khan's guards at his palace.
Sterling Armalite AR-180
South American soldiers also carry the Sterling Armalite AR-180 during the opening sequence.
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.
SKS
Soviet guards at the art depositry and some of Kamal Khan's guards can be seen with SKS carbines.

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.
AKS
After colliding head on with a train and ending up in the river, the Mercedes is brought up and inspected by soldiers working for General Gogol.

Sa vz. 58 V
Behind General Gogol (Walter Gotell) at the crash-sight one soldier can be seen with an Sa vz. 58 V as the general one soldier about Orlov's whereabouts. One of Kamal Khan's guards also carry one, using it to shoot at Bond (Roger Moore) who kills him, takes the gun, and uses it (most notably while sliding down the banister).
