The Living Daylights is the 15th installment in the official James Bond film series and marked the debut of Timothy Dalton in the role of Agent 007. The 1987 sequel finds Bond involved with the girlfriend of a Russian defector who claims to have evidence of a conspiracy to reignite tensions between the spy communities of the Soviet Union and the Western world. The cast included Jeroen Krabbé, Maryam D'Abo, Art Malik, John Rhys-Davies.
The following weapons were used in the film The Living Daylights:
James Bond (Timothy Dalton) carries his standard .32-caliber (7.65mm) Walther PPK, both suppressed and unsuppressed. He draws it at the amusement park in Vienna, unintentionally scaring a mother and her child. He most notably uses it to intimidate and, later, "assassinate" Gen. Pushkin in Tangier. He later uses it to try and kill Brad Whittaker, but the rounds fail to penetrate Whittaker's body armor. After Bond fires 8 shots at Whittaker, Whittaker responds, "You've had your eight, now have my eighty!" This brown-gripped PPK appears to be the same one seen used in the next film Licence To Kill.

Beretta Cheetah
Pushkin's KGB bodyguard (Alan Talbot) carries a Beretta pistol in a shoulder holster, most likely a Beretta Cheetah. It is possible this was supposed to stand in for the Makarov PM, a more likely weapon to be found in the hands of a KGB bodyguard.

CZ 83
Some police officers that chase Bond in Tangier have CZ 83 pistols. Many of the Soviet officers during the Afghanistan airstrip shootout also carry CZs. Necros (Andreas Wisniewski) uses one to attempt to assassinate Pushkin in Tangier. As with the Beretta carried by Pushkin's bodyguard, it is possible this was supposed to stand in for the Makarov PM, which would have been standard Soviet issue at the time.
Colonel Feyador draws his CZ 83, but Koskov tells him not to shoot and damage the plane.
Browning BDA (Umarex blank gun replica)
The female CIA agent sent by Felix Leiter (John Terry) uses a Browning BDA to convince Bond to go with them. The markings on the BDA reveal that this is actually a Umarex GPDA blank gun.

Beretta 418
In a tribute to Bond's sidearm in the original novels (up until Dr. No), a .25-caliber Beretta 418 is silhouetted during the opening credits.
One of the Czechs accompanying the Soviets chasing Bond and Kara near the Austrian border fires a Star Model B at them. As with the Beretta and CZ 83s seen elsewhere in the film, it is possible the gun is standing in for a much more probable weapon that would be found in Soviet hands - the Tokarev TT-33, to which it bears a passing resemblance.
James Bond (Timothy Dalton) uses a Walther WA 2000 sniper rifle given to him by Vienna station chief Saunders (Thomas Wheatley) to fire at the KGB sniper that turns out to be Kara.

Rifles / Carbines
AK-47
Many of the Soviet and Czech soldiers, as well as the Mujahideen use milled-receiver AK-47 assault rifles, most likely Chinese Poly Tech Legend copies. Kamran Shah (Art Malik), Bond and Kara's Mujahideen friend, wields an AK-47 during the battle with the Soviets. Kara Milovy (Maryam D'Abo) grabs Kamran's AK-47 to go off and help Bond. It is worth noting that the use of AK-derivative by Czechoslovak forces is a mistake as Czechoslovakia was the only Warsaw Pact member that used a standard assault rifle of its own design (Samopal vz. 58).

AKMS
Many of the Bratislava Soviets carry AKMS derivatives. Soviets, Czechs, and Mujahideen also carry AKMS rifles, one of which Bond (Timothy Dalton) is able to grab from one of Koskov's Czech soldier on the plane.

It wasn't until 1988 that toy weapons were required to have a blaze orange cap on the barrel.)

Colt Commando M733
A Colt Model 733 is used by Brad Whitaker (Joe Don Baker) at his home, fitted with a transparent bullet-resistant shield. At one point, Whitaker erroneously states the weapon has an eighty-round capacity, which would be impossible given that it is loaded with a 30-round STANAG magazine.
Colt Model 733 "M16A2 Commando" - 5.56x45mm. This particular rifle has an A2 lower, an A1E1 upper (forward assist and case deflector with A1 sights as found on Canadian Colts), and a coated aluminum stock.

Machine Guns
MG3
During the car chase, one of the vehicles is mounted with an MG3 light machine gun, the 7.62x51mm derivative of an MG42. The use of the MG3 by Bratislava Soviets is a mistake; The MG3 was a weapon used by NATO and was never used by the Czech Army.
