The following guns were used in the James Bond movie Goldeneye:
Walther PPK
As in all James Bond movies (prior to Tomorrow Never Dies), Pierce Brosnan as James Bond uses a Walther PPK as his sidearm (in the opening scene at the chemical weapons factory, it is fitted with a suppressor). In one scene of the film, Bond points this gun at Valentin Zukovsky (Robbie Coltrane), who identifies it by the sound of the hammer being cocked as a "Walther PPK, Seven-Point-Six-Five-Millimeter", thus leaving the viewers with no doubt about the weapon's caliber. He also comments that, "Only three men I know use such a gun...and I believe I've killed two of them." General Ourumov uses it later to kill Russian Defense Minister Dimitri Mishkin (Tchéky Karyo) and a nearby guard, before handing it back to Bond after unloading the magazine (but not the chamber!) and calling the guards to kill him. Then, in the final action scene, Bond uses this to kill a few guards trying to kill him.
Luger P08
During the opening credits sequence, a Luger P08 can be briefly seen, though is never used by any of the characters in the film.
Browning Hi-Power
In the opening scene at the chemical weapons factory, Alec Trevelyan (Sean Bean) uses a Browning Hi-Power 9mm fitted with a suppressor as his sidearm; it appears to the be the later Mark III model with plastic grips.
(NOTE: This is NOT the Browning BDM, which Trevelyan does use later in the film - it clearly has a single-action hammer and a longer barrel and different slide design, which are features of the earlier Browning HP models.)
Browning BDM
During the finale of the movie, which takes place at Trevelyan's secret Goldeneye satellite control dish in Cuba, Trevelyan is seen brandishing a Browning BDM 9mm, a modernized, double-action variant of the Browning Hi-Power he uses earlier in the film (see above). During the fight between Trevelyan and Bond on the transmitter above the dish, Bond gets a hold of the BDM, and turns it against Trevelyan, who later reclaims the weapon from Bond, but eventually runs out of ammo.
Makarov PM
General Ourumov (Gottfried John) uses a Makarov PM as his standard sidearm. It is used most notably in the opening sequence at the chemical weapons factory, when he uses it to shoot Trevelyan (unknown to Bond, this killing is fake - merely part of a plot to help Trevelyan disappear). Ourumov then uses it to shoot an unlucky soldier for shooting at Bond against his orders (as Bond was hiding behind a cart full of volatile chemicals, so Ourumov told all the soldiers to hold their fire.). He is then seen using it to hold Natalya at gunpoint with it when he captures her. Bond later gives one to her and she uses it to hold a helicopter pilot at gunpoint with it.
AKS-74U
Bond very frequently uses the AKS-74U, the compact version of the AK-74, by taking them from slain or incapacitated Russian soldiers. He first acquires this weapon during the opening scene at the chemical weapons factory, and then again during the escape from the Soviet archives (he takes this AKS-74U in the T-55 tank with him, and then uses it again when he confronts Trevelyan on his train).
Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen) also uses an AKS-74U (with two magazines "jungle-taped" together). She first uses this weapon to kill all of the technicians at the Severnaya Goldeneye control center, and then is seen carrying it again on Trevelyan's missile train (however, she drops it when the train crashes, and when Trevelyan tries to grab it, he is stopped by Bond, who points his own AKS-74U at him).
(Fake) AKS-74
The weapons used by the Russian soldiers throughout the movie (and by Bond and Trevelyan during the shootout on the satellite dish) are often referred to as AK-74 or AKS-74 rifles. This is correct in some instances, but wrong in most cases. (Note: I begin crying here so feel free to skip this section.) The vast majority of the so-called "AK-74s" used by Russian soldiers in this movie are actually Norinco Type 56 and Type 56-1 rifles, Chinese copies of the AKM and AKMS. The prop weapons used in the movie have been fitted with AK-74-style muzzle breaks and plastic magazines to make them resemble AKS-74s, but the giveaway is the fact that the weapons clearly have under-folding stocks (on the AKS-74, the stock folds to the side), and more curved magazines for 7.62x39mm ammo (the AK-74 magazines are less curved). The weapons are clearly identifiable as Norinco Type 56-1s because they have the distinctive hooded front sights which characterize only Chinese-made Kalashnikov variants.
On a few occasions in the movie, it is possible to spot genuine AK-74 and AKS-74 rifles in the hands of some of the Russian soldiers (see below), usually in non-firing scenes. These are not nearly as common, however, as the mocked-up Chinese Type 56s which are intended to pass for AK-74s.
RPK-74
Outside the chemical facility, before General Ourumov emerges through the crowd of soldiers, one Russian on the far right is holding an RPK-74 distinguishable by the bipod on the bottom.
CZ-52
During the scene in which Bond meets Zukovsky at his night club in St. Petersburg, he makes a disparaging comment about the singing talents of Zukovsky's mistress. Zukovsky does not take kindly to this comment, so he pulls a Czech CZ-52 pistol from beneath his jacket and fires a round at the couch between Bond's legs. He then fires two more rounds to try and shoot off Bond's legs, but misses, and Bond later calls him down.
Mk 19 Grenade Launcher
When Bond is meeting with Q (Desmond Llewelyn) in his lab, a Mk 19 grenade launcher can be briefly seen mounted on what appears to be an all-terrain vehicle. I believe an M134 Minigun is also seen around this part in the Q-Lab but only very vaguely for about a second.
M16A2 Rifle
At the end of the film, Bond and Natalya are making out in a field near the destroyed Janus base when CIA Agent Jack Wade (Joe Don Baker) approaches them and calls out a squad of U.S. Marines that had been hiding all around them, the Marines being armed with M16A2 rifles.
