Moonraker

Moonraker (1979)

The following weapons appear in the film Moonraker:

Special note: Moonraker is the only 007 film that does not feature Bond brandishing either of his trademark Walther handguns (PPK or P99), although he is shown with the PPK in his hand on the DVD cover (right).

Smith & Wesson Model 38 Bodyguard

At the start of the film, a woman Bond is with aboard a plane pulls a Smith & Wesson Model 38 Bodyguard revolver on him, handing it off to a pilot entering the cabin from the cockpit. The man then uses it to shoot out the controls before he and the woman bail out, planning to leave Bond to crash in the out-of-control aircraft.

Holland & Holland Royal

While visiting the Drax residence in California, James Bond (Roger Moore) engages in pheasant hunting with Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale), both men using Holland & Holland Royal double-barreled shotguns. Bond nonchalantly uses his to take out a sniper hiding in a nearby tree.

Moonraker Laser

The Moonraker Laser is a custom prop weapon designed for the film. It appears to be a plastic and resin mock up built out of the plastic toy ** IMI Uzi submachine gun that was commonly available at the time, with some fancy modifications on it. The crew of Drax's space station are also armed with smaller laser pistols (which seem to resemble hairdryers...). It later made an appearance in the video game adaptation of Goldeneye.
