The following firearms were used in the film Octopussy:
M16A1
During the precredits sequence in the unknown Latin American country, the soldiers all wield M16A1 rifles with 20 round magazines. The soldiers guarding James Bond (Roger Moore) after his capture are armed with M16A1s, after Bond pulls their parachute ripcords, commandeers one and uses it to shoot out the truck's left front tire, causing it to crash.
- All of these are actually the Japanese MGC M16 replicas, not real M16A1s. You can tell by the shape of the forward assists. Compare the two pictures of both below:
M1911A1
One of the Latin American military soldiers flashes a M1911A1 when he takes Bond into custody.
SKS rifle
Several Soviet soldiers and some of Kemal Khan's guards can be seen with SKS rifles.
Walther P5
James Bond (Roger Moore) carries a Walther P5 as his sidearm in this movie, despite having told Q that he "mislaid my PPK". This was to appease Walther, who wanted to promote a new pistol. Interesting to note is that this was the same pistol used by Sean Connery's version of Bond in Never Say Never Again, released the same year.
AKM/AKMS
AKM and AKMS rifles are used by virtually all of the Soviet Soldiers in the movie.
unidentified hunting rifle
Kemal Khan (Louis Jordan) carries this rifle as his men search for Bond.
Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE)
Some of Kamal Khan's guards use Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE) made by Ishapore of India as well as No. 1 Mk III/MkIII* and No. 4 rifles from other British Commonwealth countries.
unidentified pistol
Octopussy (Maud Adams) and some of her team fire pistols at Kemal Khan's men during the finale.
Steyr AUG
Oddily, Steyr AUGs are used by a few Soviet soldiers in the movie.
SA Vz. 58
The SA Vz.58 is used by the East German border guards, some of Kamal's men, and Bond (most notably while sliding down the banister).
Smith & Wesson Model 39
Kemal Khan (Louis Jordan) fires a Smith & Wesson Model 39 at Bond while the latter hangs onto the train.
Colt Python
One of the USAF police guards carries a Colt Python, which he draws on Bond.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Octopussy (Maud Adams) takes a Smith & Wesson Model 36 from one of the Air Force officers at the circus and uses it to blow the lock off the base of the circus cannon, revealing the atomic bomb inside.
Beretta 950 Jetfire
During the attack on Kamal Khan's palace, Octopussy (Maud Adams) pulls a nickel plated Beretta Jetfire on him, but is knocked out of her hand by Gobinda (Kabir Bedi)
