Revision as of 10:28, 15 March 2013
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. This film 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 Model 1911
In the film's opening, 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 Model 1911 pistols. After getting caught trying to plant a bomb inside the hangar, Bond's gun is taken by a South American Officer (Michael Halphie) who holds it to his back and takes him into custody.
Colt Junior/Astra Cub
During the credits sequence a nickel plated Colt Junior/Astra Cub with pearl grips is seen handled. First held by a woman lying while 007 is projected on her in laser, and later seen "firing" red light in which silhouettes of women appear. During the attack on Kamal Khan's palace, Octopussy (Maud Adams) is also seen pulling an Colt/Astra, but it is knocked out of her hand by Gobinda (Kabir Bedi).
PM
During the credits sequence a PM is featured. First seen held by a woman as the "007" logo is seen projected in laser beams infront of the guns muzzle as if it was emitting from it. Then it is seen in the hand of one of the five arms that is wrapping around a silhouette of Bond (Roger Moore). Finally a hand holding a Makarov is seen as laserbeams is emitting from its muzzle.
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.
Exact Model cap gun
One of the guns that is seen in the hands of the arms that wrap around Bond (Roger Moore) in the credits sequence is a Exact Model cap gun made by Edison Giocattoli .
Walther PPK
During the credits sequence there is two brief appearances of a Walther PPK. It's first seen in the hand of one of the arms that wrap around Bond, and then later held by a gloved hand in front of a woman lying down as the producers name emitts out of its muzzle.
Jaguarmatic Model cap gun
Another of the guns that is seen in the hands of the arms that wrap around Bond (Roger Moore) in the credits sequence is a Jaguarmatic Model cap gun made by Edison Giocattoli.
TT-33
General Orlov (Steven Berkoff) appears to be carrying an TT-33 pistol in his holster. He uses it to smash a Fabergé egg to peices, as he considers it to have caused them enough problems by leading Bond to them.
Smith & Wesson Model 39
Kamal Khan (Louis Jourdan) fires a Smith & Wesson Model 39 at Bond while the latter hangs onto the train.
SIG P210
Kamal Khan's stand-in uses a SIG P210 as filming switches from studio to on location work on the railroad,
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 Officers at the circus and uses it to blow the lock off the base of the circus cannon, revealing the atomic bomb inside.
Shotguns
Gobinda's Side by Side Shotgun
As he pursues Bond through the streets of Rajasthan, India, Gobinda (Kabir Bedi) is armed with a 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun with a huge fluted muzzle resembling a blunderbuss.
Assault Rifles
FN FAL
During the pre-credits sequence, Bond (Roger Moore) dressed as Toro, passes some South American soldiers carrying FN FALs. Guards at the Brittish Embassy in West Berlin and some of Kamal Khan's guards in India is also seen with FALs.
AR-18
During the pre-credits sequence a few South American soldiers can be seen carrying AR-18s .
MGC M-16 Model Gun Corp
During the pre-credits sequenc, most South American soldiers wield Japanese MGC M16 Model Gun Corp 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 and uses it to shoot out the truck's left front tire, causing it to crash (it has become a blank-firing M16A1 for that part).
M16A1
As Bond has commandered one of the soldiers' Japanese MGC M-16 Model Gun Corp Replica Rifles it has become an actual blank-firing M16A1 as he uses it to shoot out the truck's left front tire, causing it to crash. One soldier is seen with what appears to be a M16A1 as they launch the missile.
Type 56
The soldiers accompanying General Orlov (Steven Berkoff) to India can be seen with the export model of the milled receiver Type 56. It is also used by the boarder guards and by some of the Soviets in GDR.
Armi-Jager AP-80
In East Germany the soldiers are mainly seen carrying the Armi-Jager AP-80.
Steyr AUG
Oddly, carbine versions of the Steyr AUGs are used by a few Soviet soldiers in the movie. This is likely the earliest appearance of the Steyr AUG in a Hollywood film.
AKM
After stealing the car Bond gets shot at by soldiers led by General Orlov (Steven Berkoff), one of the soldiers can be seen firing an AKM before he gets knocked over by some barrels. In an extended clip of that scene, shown in a trailer for the movie, the front of the rifle is seen from the side, clearly identifying the rifle. During the scene where the car is salvaged out of the river one soldier standing close to the river is also seen with an AKM.
Samopal vz. 58 P
The Samopal vz. 58 P is seen carried by one of the soldiers on a jeap and later by a soldier near the boarder station in GDR.

One soldier has got an AKS slung over his shoulder at the sight were the car is being salvaged from the river. During the final fight at Kamal's palace one of his guards can also be seen with one as they're trying to stop Bond from following Khan.
