The following weapons were used in the film Thunderball:

Thunderball (1965)


Walther PPK

Both James Bond (Sean Connery) and Count Lippe (Guy Doleman) carry the Walther PPK with and without a suppressor. Vargas (Philip Locke) can briefly be seen with one as he silently approaches Bond and Domino. Bond's dropped PPK has the "bull-dog" nose of a pre-WWII pistol rather than the sleeker lines of the post-war PPKs.

Unidentified Sniper Rifle

Felix Leiter (Rik Van Nutter) fires a rifle with a scope at a shark to distract the other sharks as Bond dives.

Felix aims his rifle.

The upper handguard on the rifle gives it away as a M1 Carbine variant. It may be one of the Iver Johnson M1 carbines that had a pistol grip stock.

There is another possiblity,the French Unique .22 Model L pistol/carbine combo,which featured a pistol that fitted up into the "M1 carbine"-like stock, which got around ATF regs due to the fact the carbine setup had an 18 inch barrel. Leiter is holding the carbine the way one would hold this model.

Remington 1100
