Octopussy
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
Colt Government Model
In 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 Colt Covernment 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.
Astra Cub
The opening credits feature the nickel plated Astra Cub with pearl grips. Octopussy (Maud Adams) carries one during the attack on Kamal Khan's palace that is knocked out of her hand by Gobinda.
Makarov
The PM feature prominently in the opening credits.
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.
Edison Giocattoli S.p.A. Exact
The opening credits also feature an Supermatic cap gun made by Edison Giocattoli S.p.A. called the Exact that is held by the hand of one of the many arms entangling an silhouetted James Bond.
Walther PPK
Bond's trusted Walther PPK also makes an appearance in the opening credits.
Edison Giocattoli S.p.A. Jaguarmatic
Another Edison Giocattoli S.p.A. Supermatic cap gun called the Jaguarmatic makes an appearance in the opening credits.

General Orlov (Steven Berkoff) carries the TT in his holster. He uses it to smash an Fabergé egg to pieces as it has caused them problems by leading Bond on to them.

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 the 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 the 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.

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 Colt AR-15 Sporter Rifle at that moment).
Colt AR-15 Sporter Rifle
After pulling the soldiers parachute ripcords, sending them up into the air, Bond (Roger Moore) commandeers one of their rifles, now a blank-firing Colt AR-15 Sporter Rifle, and uses it to shoot out the truck's left front tire, causing it to crash.
