Machine gun
After reviewing the movie I think I've discovered a machine gun not featured in the article When Bond leaves the warhouse during the gunfight he is stopped by a Locque henchman firing what I believe is a MG. I cant identify it 100%, but judging by the brief screens I have of the scene in question I'd say its a german. MG34 or MG42. I'll be uploading the screens in a few days.

- User "Ben41" beat me too it and uploaded screens of the MG42/34 in question. Thanks man :) Dudster32 13:57, 6 July 2012 (CDT)
Biathlon rifle, too loud?
Brief question: The "Biathlon rifle" Kriegler is seen using is a .22 long right? Then how come it makes such a fecking loud noise when firing? :P Dudester32 (talk) 15:57, 10 May 2014 (EDT)
- According to wikipedia, .22LR didn't become the standard for biathlon until 1978, just three years before release. It's entirely possible the rifle they had on hand was still chambered in a larger round. --Funkychinaman (talk) 22:08, 10 May 2014 (EDT)

Unknown machine gun
I did a double check of the machine gun used at the warehouse scene. In the closeup it is indeed a MG42, but from a distance it is definetly some other model. Dudester32 (talk) 15:23, 16 March 2015 (EDT)
It could be a SIG SG 510, guessing by how high the front sight is and the folded bipod. PaperCake 18:09, 16 March 2015 (EST).
- Sounds good to me! I'm gonna do some more google-jutsu, and if I cant find anything new, and if noone in the Talk can give another good suggestion, I'm gonna put up the SIG SG as the MG in question in the article after about a week. Dudester32 (talk) 18:13, 16 March 2015 (EDT)

Misidentified grenades?
Looking at the grenades in the warehouse raid scene, while the long shot of Bond opening the case does appear to show Mk 2 grenades, in the closeup shot of 007 retrieving one for use, the safety lever and pin position more closely resemble that of a Soviet F1 grenade. Supporting this, the interior markings on the lid of the case appear to be Cyrillic. Guy Incognito 15:35, 9 February 2020 (EST)
