These are the weapons which appeared in the video game adaptation of Quantum of Solace.
Glock 18
The Glock 18 pistol appears in the game as the GF18. This of course is a reference to the infamous film Goldfinger. It comes with a 30 round magazine and a laser sight. It can also be silenced.
M1911
A silver-plated M1911 appears in the game as the CR1911. It is named after the 2006 Bond film Casino Royale, and is the main pistol of all other characters aside from Bond in the game. The M1911 has been used in many Bond films and games, starting with Dr. No in 1962.
M4A1 Carbine
The M4A1 Carbine appears in this game as the TND-16. It fires 5.56mm NATO ammunition and comes standard with a R.I.S.-styled rail handguard and pistol grip. It can be outfitted with a suppressor, a holographic red-dot sight and laser (in single player missions only). This weapon is named after the film Tomorrow Never Dies.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
The Heckler & Koch MP5A3 appears as the SAF 9mm. It comes with tri-rail handguards and a forward pistol grip. The gun can also be modifed with an ARO red-dot scope and a suppressor, and a gold-plated version is available for multiplayer use.
Heckler & Koch UMP
The Heckler & Koch UMP makes an appearance in this game. It can be equipped with a suppressor and laser. It's called the SAF .45, even though it clearly has the curved magazine only present on the 9mm UMP. The UMP made several appearances in the film Casino Royale, and is prominent in promotional artwork for Quantum of Solace.
FN SCAR
The FN SCAR assault rifle system appears in the game as the MKIII LLD. The name of the weapon is a reference to Live and Let Die.
Steyr AUG
The Steyr AUG apears in the game as the A3 Raker. It is only usable in three levels, Siena, Casino Royale, and Eco Hotel. However, it is shown in an in-game cutscene during the Siena level. It apears in multiplayer modes as the "A3 Recon". This weapon is named after the Moonraker film. Despite the A3 designation present in the in-game name, this AUG is actually an A1.
AKS-74U
An AKS-74U makes an appearance in this game during the Madagascar and Barge stages. Called the FRWL in the game after the film From Russia with Love. The Kalashnikov series of rifles has been represented in a majority of Bond films and video games, the AKS-74U in particular was used in the movie Goldeneye and the infamous video game of the same name.
Calico
A Calico submachinegun is used in this game, appearing in the Science Centre and Bregenz stages. The name it is given is the TLD22, after the film The Living Daylights. Calicos were also used by Carver security guards in the Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies.
M60 machine gun
The M60 machine gun appears in the game as the 8-CAT. It is often found in hidden containers as a bonus for exploration. The weapon's name is of course a reference to the film Octopussy.
SVD Dragunov
The SVD Dragunov appears in the game as the V-TAK. The name comes from the film A View To A Kill. It can be outfitted with a night-vision scope, laser and suppressor.
Walther WA 2000
The Walther WA 2000 sniper rifle is used in this game, under its actual name. It is notable that all Walther firearms actually are referred to by their correct names in this game. The Walther WA2000 was previously used in the film The Living Daylights by Timothy Dalton during the sniping sequence.
Milkor MGL
The Milkor MGL grenade launcher appears in the game under the name of the D.A.D System, after the film Die Another Day. It is quite funny, because if you read the name it says 'Dad System", suggesting a way to deal with dads. (This is a rocket propelled grenade launcher.) It appears in the Science Centre stage, and is notable as having one of the longest reload times in the game.
Walther P99
The Walther P99 appears in game as Bond's standard sidearm, using its correct name. It is a current-generation P99, instead of his usual 1st generation that he has carried since Tomorrow Never Dies. The gun fires 9x19mm Parabellum rounds and can be equipped with a suppressor. A gold-plated version is available in multiplayer.
Walther PPK
Although never seen or used in the game, the silluettes of the bond girls at the main menu screen are seen holding Walther PPK pistols.
M14 Rifle
The M14 battle rifle appears in this game, simply called the M14. It fires 7.62x51mm rounds, and comes standard with R.I.S.-style handgrips and a pistol foregrip attached. It can be modified to use a scope, suppressor, and/or A.R.O. scope in multiplayer.
Auto Shotgun
Resembles an Armsel Striker, but is magazine fed. Referred to in-game as the A3 Hutchinson.
Other shotgun, pump action
Remington 870, with an S & J Hardware rail system (the AR15-870 CQB MKII) to give it it's distinctive look in the game. Used on a number of levels, usually as perk to exploring. The 870 in the game does have a fiber optic sight on the front of the rail system, unlike the real-life rail system. Also of note, the name 'Hutchinson A3' is given to it by the weapons designer for the game, who has the last name of Hutchinson.
MAC-10
Referred to in-game as the Mantis. It can be uprgraded with a laser, and is one of the most common weapons in the game. MAC-10s are commonly used weapons in the Bond films and games.
S&W 686
This revolver is a Smith & Wesson Model 686, but it only holds 5 rounds, hinting that it shoots .500 S&W rounds. It is called the LTK Super Magnum in the game, an obvious reference to the Bond film "Licence to Kill".
Various grenade types
Nail Gun
This weapon is used during the Venice stage, where it is used to kill Gettler, similar to the film Casino Royale. In the XBOX 360 and PS3 versions of the game, the player is rewarded for shooting Gettler through his blackened lens, mirroring his death in the film.
Golden gun
A gold-plated Smith & Wesson 686. Unlike previous cinematic and viedo game Golden Guns, it is a revolver, not a single-action pistol. The Golden Gun in the novel The Man with The Golden Gun, was however a revolver, albeit a Colt SAA instead of a Smith & Wesson.
