The following weapons can be seen in the film The Living Daylights:
James Bond (Timothy Dalton) uses a Walther WA 2000 sniper rifle given to him by Vienna station chief Saunders (Thomas Wheatley) to fire at the KGB sniper that turns out to be Kara.
Kara Milovy (Maryam D'Abo) uses a Winchester Model 70 to "shoot" at Gen. Koskov during his defection. Bond damages the rifle with a shot from the WA 2000.
Some of the Czech VB officers use the Sa. Vz.61 Skorpion. KGB Gen. Leonid Pushkin (John Rhys-Davies) and some of his men use Skorpions when arresting Koskov at Whitaker's home.
During the car chase, one of the vehicles is mounted with an MG3 light machine gun, the 7.62 mm derivative of an MG42. The use of the MG3 by Bratislava Soviets is a mistake. The MG3 was a weapon used by NATO and was never used by the Czech Army.
Many of the Soviet and Czech soldiers, as well as the Mujahideen use milled-receiver AK-47 assault rifles, most likely Chinese Poly Tech Legend copies. Kamran Shah (Art Malik), Bond and Kara's Mujahideen friend, wields an AK-47 during the battle with the Soviets. Kara Milovy (Maryam D'Abo) grabs Kamran's AK-47 to go off and help Bond. It is worth noting that the use of AK-derivative by Czechoslovak forces is a mistake as Czechoslovakia was the only Warsaw Pact member that used standard assault rifle of its own design (Samopal vz. 58).
Many of the Bratislava Soviets carry AKMS derivatives. Soviets, Czechs, and Mujahideen also carry AKMS rifles, one of which Bond (Timothy Dalton) is able to grab from one of Koskov's Czech soldier on the plane.
This is a minor point, but the Czech soldiers' AKMS copies all appear to be Hungarian models, which were called the AK-63E in Hungarian service, and SA-85M when imported to the U.S. in semi-auto form. -MT2008
One of the Czech's with the Soviets chasing Bond and Kara near the Austrian border fires a Star Model B at them (instead of a Makarov or Tokarev, as would be expected. Although, this gun may be meant to appear to be a Tokarev, as it looks like one.)
Whitaker shows Pushkin a modified Heckler & Koch MP5K made to look as if it has grenade launching capabilities, telling him he needs the modern equivalent of a Maxim, a "3rd generation... laser-sighting, short-barreled machine pistol". It has an SEF trigger group.
Among the guns seen in Whitaker's collection is a ridiculously mocked up Luger P08. Another weapon seen is a Crosman Ratcatcher Air Rifle with a skeleton stock.
While at the carnival in Vienna, Bond shows off his sharpshooting skills with an Anschutz LG275 air rifle. His skills prompt the concession's manager to insist that he stops playing and winning all the prizes.
James Bond (Timothy Dalton) carries his standard .32-caliber Walther PPK, both suppressed and unsuppressed. He draws it at the amusement park in Vienna, unintentionally scaring a young child. He most notably uses it to intimidate and, later, "assassinate" Gen. Pushkin in Tangier. He later uses it to try and kill Brad Whittaker, but the rounds fail to penetrate Whittaker's body armor. After Bond fires 8 shots at Whittaker, Whittaker responds "you've had your eight, I'll have my eighty!" It appears to be the same brown-gripped PPK as he uses in License To Kill.
Some police officers that chase Bond in Tangier have Makarov PM pistols. Many of the Soviet and Czech officers during the Afghanistan airstrip shootout also carry Makarovs. Necros (Andreas Wisniewski) uses one to attempt to assassinate Pushkin in Tangier.
Koskov's Soviets and Czechs use several Browning M2HB machine guns during the airfield battle, mocked up with fake barrel shrouds to resemble KPV heavy machine guns. Necros (Andreas Wisniewski) uses one to fire at Kara from a Jeep driven by Gen. Koskov (Jeroen Krabbé).
Brad Whitaker (Joe Don Baker) uses a Mini Uzi in his shootout with Bond before getting his Colt Commando. One of Pushkin's men also uses a Mini Uzi when apprehending Koskov later during the scene.
