The following guns were used in the movie Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery
Walther PPK/S
Austin Powers (Mike Myers) uses a Walther PPK/S in .380 as his sidearm throughout the film. This is an anachronism, as the PPK/S was created as a result of the Gun Control Act of 1968 for the American market, meaning this model didn't exist in 1967. The PPK/S pistols seen in the film were custom finished in nickel instead of the standard high polished walther bluing.
Pearl grips were used for some scenes, but for others they were changed back to standard black grips, Probably to prevent damage to the pearl grips during stunt work. There were three identical guns used on-set - one was later donated to the Walther Museum, while the other two remain in the inventory of Independent Studio Services (which supplied the guns for the film). These guns were used on all three of the Austin Powers movies.
IMI Desert Eagle Mark VII
Austin's (Mike Myers) partner in the 1990's, Vanessa Kensington (Elizabeth Hurley) uses a Desert Eagle Mark VII. It is most notably seen when she is loading it in her and Austin's hotel room. She also uses the gun when she, Austin, and several commandos attack Dr. Evil's lair.
Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket
Mrs. Kensington uses a nickel Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket pistol with pearl grips during the 1967 sequence. Vanessa unpacks the same gun from her suitcase in 1997 (it is likely that her mother gave this to her as a gift).
Smith & Wesson Model 19
Several of the Virtucon guards carry Smith & Wesson Model 19 revolvers, most notably during the Fembot demonstration.
Beretta M12
Many of Dr. Evil's (Also played by Mike Myers) henchmen are armed with Beretta M12 submachine guns. Austin also picks up a Beretta M12 near the end of the film, and uses it to threaten and try to capture Dr. Evil.
Beretta 92SB
Several of Dr. Evil's (Mike Myers) henchmen can be seen using Beretta 92SBs, denoted by their rounded trigger guard, in the final showdown scene.
FN FAL
The British soldiers seen through out the film all use FN FAL assault rifles. The FN FAL rifles were used as a "stand in" for the FAL's British Commonwealth "cousin", the L1A1 Self Loading Rifle.
Luger P08
Near the end of the film, Number Two (Robert Wagner) can seen using a Luger P08 Pistol to threaten Dr. Evil (Mike Myers). And when Number Two makes the mistake of sitting in a chair, Dr. Evil pushes a button that makes the chair flip backward, and launch Number Two in a fiery pit, and then Austin (also Mike Myers) picks up the Luger P08 and attempts to shoot, but misses Dr. Evil as he escapes.
