'''''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]]''. | '''''Octopussy''''' is the 13th entry in the official [[James Bond]] film series.

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''. | The [[Walther P5]] is the sidearm of James Bond ([[Roger Moore]]) in this film, despite having told Q that he "mislaid my PPK".

Revision as of 22:17, 14 July 2016
|
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
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.

M1911A1
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 M1911A1 pistols. After getting caught trying to plant a bomb inside the hangar, Bond's gun is taken by the South American Officer (Michael Halphie) who holds it to his back and takes him into custody.

Opening credits prominently feature the Astra Cub pocket pistol. It is also the sidearm of Octopussy (Maud Adams) during the attack on the palace.

Tokarev TT-33
General Orlov (Steven Berkoff) draws his holstered TT-33 pistol and uses it to smash the Fabergé egg Bond brought with him to India.
Smith & Wesson 39

Seen stuck out the train window by "Kamal Khan" due to a continuity error as the filming moved to on-location-shots on board a train at the Nene Valley railway,
![](/images/thumb/e/e7/Octopussy_%28069%29_P210.jpg/600px-Octopussy_%28069%29_P210.jpg)
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.
![](/images/thumb/8/8a/Octop-python1.jpg/600px-Octop-python1.jpg)
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Octopussy (Maud Adams) takes a Smith & Wesson Model 36 from one of the U.S. Air Force base security police guards at the circus and uses it to blow the lock off the base of the circus cannon, revealing the atomic bomb inside.
Rifles & Carbines
Fabrique Nationale FAL
This weapon is used by a few South American soldiers in the opening sequence. The FN FAL is also seen carried by one guard outside the British Embassy in West Berlin and by some of Kamal Khan's guards at his palace.
Sterling Armalite AR-180
Some South American soldiers are seen with the Sterling Armalite AR-180 during the opening sequence.
MGC Replica M16 Rifle
South American soldiers mostly wield Japanese MGC M16 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 of the soldiers' rifles (which becomes a blank-firing full-auto AR-15/SP1 rifle at that moment).
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 full-auto AR-15/SP1 rifle, and uses it to shoot out the truck's left front tire, causing it to crash. Another AR-15/SP1 rifle appears later on in the hands of one of the soldiers watching the missile being fired.
![](/images/thumb/c/cd/Octopussy_Bond_M16A1.jpg/600px-Octopussy_Bond_M16A1.jpg)
SKS
Soviet guards at the art depositry and some of Kamal Khan's guards can be seen with SKS carbines.
Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk. I
Most of Kamal Khan's guards use the Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk. I battle rifles.
Norinco Type 56
Throughout the film, Orlov's Soviet forces and some border guards are seen armed with the Norinco Type 56, the Chinese issue AK-47 rifle. Besides the obvious Russians' using Chinese weapons issue this is an anachronism since the milled receiver AK-47 was well obsolete by this time for the USSR frontline troops.
![](/images/thumb/f/f5/Octopussy_Boarderguards_Norinco_Type_56s_Soldier_SA_Vz_58P.jpg/600px-Octopussy_Boarderguards_Norinco_Type_56s_Soldier_SA_Vz_58P.jpg)
Weatherby Mk. V
Kamal Khan (Louis Jourdan) carries an Weatherby Mark V as his men search for Bond.
Adler-Jäger AP-80
Orlov's forces are also seen with Adler-Jäger AP-80 carbines, blank firers patterned after the AK-47, while patrolling platforms and railway tunnels near the border. Some border guards also carry these while they're seen investigating the crashed Mercedes' that is being brought up from the river.
![](/images/thumb/0/09/Octopussy_Tunnel_Orlov_Soldiers_Armi-Jager_AP80.jpg/600px-Octopussy_Tunnel_Orlov_Soldiers_Armi-Jager_AP80.jpg)
General Orlov (Steven Berkoff) commands his armed soldiers outside the tunnel.
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
Among the armament depicted as standard Soviet (Warsaw Pact) weaponry in this classic Cold War adventure is the surprisingly accurate AKM assault rifle. Hastily seen carried by one soldier just as General Gogol (Walter Gotell) discovers the stolen Soviet treasuries in the salvaged Mercedes-Benz's boot. There's also a scene shown earlier featuring one soldier firing his Kalashnikov modernized assault rifle at 007 in an effort to prevent him from escaping with General Orlov's luxury auto (containing the invaluable jewels in the trunk). Bond however counters that effort as he drives into some stacked oil barrels nearby, knocking them over and sending them into the crooked general's minions, incapacitating them before he drives off. Note: In an extended view depicting this scene (from the trailer) there's one great, detailed shot showing the distinctive features identifying this firearm, including front sight, slanted muzzle brake and 45 degree gas block.

Sa vz. 58 V
Seen carried by one Soviet soldier behind General Gogol (Walter Gotell) at the river sight as the general is shown the stolen jewels in the trunk of the car. One of Kamal Khan's guards also carry the Sa vz. 58 V, using it to shoot at Bond (Roger Moore) who kills him, takes the gun, and uses it (most notably while sliding down the banister).

Machine Guns
L7 General Purpose Machine Gun
The British L7 General Purpose Machine Gun is seen mounted on a jeep chasing James Bond and later on some other vehicle outside the hangar during the opening sequence.

Due to a continuity error, the L7 becomes a M60 machine gun after the jeeps have crashed and is used by one South American soldier to fire at Bond's small airchraft.
Shotguns
Side by Side Shotgun
As Gobinda pursues Bond through the streets of Rajasthan, India, Gobinda (Kabir Bedi) is armed with an 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun with a huge fluted muzzle resembling a blunderbuss.
