The following weapons were used in the film From Russia with Love:
James Bond (Sean Connery) carries a Walther PPK in .32 ACP as his personal sidearm. Kerim Bey (Pedro Armendariz), head of MI-6's "Station T" in Turkey, also carries a PPK. Donald "Red" Grant (Robert Shaw) takes Bond's PPK and holds it on him on the Orient Express. Some Soviet agents also use it, perhaps because Makarov PM's weren't available for the film.
The SPECTRE guards on Blofeld's boat carry MP40s, as do the SPECTRE assassins sent to kill Bond via helicopter or boat. Morzeny (Walter Gotell) leads a boat full of MP40-wielding gunmen.
One of the SPECTRE trainees is reloading a Thompson M1928 as Klebb and Morzeny walk past. Several others can be seen at a rack in front of training station #1.
Bond uses an Armalite AR-7 survival rifle with a custom suppressor, issued to him by Q, to assassinate Krilencu. Kerim Bey (Pedro Armendariz) eventually does the shooting. Q mistakenly reports the rifle to be .25 caliber, while it actually fires a .22 Long Rifle cartridge.
Note: It is quite possible that Q has modified a normal Armalite AR-7 to accept .25 ACP cartridges
Mauser Kar98k rifles were seen in the hands of SPECTRE guards at SPECTRE island. Mauser Kar98k rifles were also seen in the hands of both the Gypsies and the Bulgarian agents later in the film.
One of the SPECTRE trainees at the boot camp is also seen with a flamethrower.
Mauser C96
Grant (Robert Shaw) carries a Mauser C96 with a ten-round magazine, most notably during the gypsy shootout, using it to kill a Bulgarian about to kill Bond.
Grant pulls a Spanish Llama XVIII Especial .25 calibre pistol from an ankle holster and uses it to intimidate Bond on the Orient Express. Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya) draws a Llama XVIII pistol with pearl grips during her last-ditch attempt to steal the Lektor from Bond's hotel room. After killing her, Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi) holds Klebb's Llama.
Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi) picks up Rosa Klebb's dropped gun, that has now become a .25 ACP Beretta 418 pistol with pearl grips, and uses it to kill Klebb and save Bond.
Trivia: In the early novels, James Bond's sidearm was a Beretta 418. In the novel "From Russia with Love", it gets caught in Bond's holster, which nearly costs him his life. In the following novel, "Doctor No", M forces Bond to switch to a new weapon: the Walther PPK.'
SPECTRE agents use what appear to be mocked-up or dummy Energa rifle grenades (designated by the British as Grenade, Rifle, A tk, No. 94 Mk. 1, and by the US Military as M28) attached to Lee-Enfield No.4 rifles.
Again, as in the Dr. No we can see Bond shooting his Walther PPK at someone holding Smith and Wesson revolver, in the barrel of which camera's pretending to be. And again, it's not Sean Connery, it's Bob Simmons, who we seen in this scene.
It's need to be noted, that sequence is not 100% identical to the one in Dr. No.
