Octopussy
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
The Astra Cub pocket pistol with pearl grips is featured heavily during the opening credits. It is also the sidearm of Octopussy (Maud Adams) during the attack on Kamal Khan's palace.
Makarov (PM)
The Makarov pistol feature prominently 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 seen briefly 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.

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.

Smith & Wesson Model 36

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.
