Revision as of 23:48, 3 November 2009
The following weapons were used in the film Dr. No:
Walther PP/Walther PPK
James Bond (Sean Connery) is issued a .32 ACP Walther PPK as his standard sidearm at the beginning, forcing him to hand over his Beretta (which M accuses of being underpowered, despite the 1934's .380 chambering being superior to the replacement PPK's .32 chambering; this is a result of the book's "upgrade" of Bond's .25ACP Beretta Jetfire to the more powerful Walther). In some shots on Crab Key, the larger Walther PP is seen in his hand (an error by the filmmakers). Felix Leiter (Jack Lord) also holds a PPK gun on Bond when they first meet.
Beretta M1934
Bond hands his Beretta M1934 over to M (Bernard Lee) and the armorer in the beginning of the film, receiving his PPK as a replacement.
FN Browning M1910
Bond uses a FN Model 1910 with a suppressor to assassinate Professor Dent (Anthony Dawson). It is assumed that this was supposed to be a PPK, but the props department was unable to find a suppressor fitting the prop PPK.
At the end of the scene, Bond merely twists and yanks the "silencer" from the barrel of the FN. As any armorer would know, the threads on a threaded barrel are far too fine for such a movement. The truth is, the silencer was fake and had a dowel that slid into the barrel for fitting. This was mentioned in the Dr. No Special Edition DVD.
M1911A1
The "three blind mice" assassins use suppressed M1911A1s to murder Strangways at the beginning. Professor Dent also has a suppressed M1911A1 in the scene in which he attempts to kill Bond. Bond identifies Dent's 1911 as a Smith & Wesson, only holding six bullets ("That's a Smith and Wesson, and you've had your six"), however all 1911s would have at least a seven-round magazine capacity. This line was taken directly from the novel, where Dent used a Smith & Wesson revolver. Strangely, Bond's PPK appears to be substituted for a 1911 while shooting at the Dragon Tank on Crab Key. After taking a few shots, the gun is back to his usual PPK.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Quarrel (John Kitzmiller) uses a Smith & Wesson Model 10 with a 4" barrel while on Crab Key.
Sten
Dr. No's men carry Sten SMGs on Crab Key, most notably during Quarrel's death and Bond's decontamination.
Lee-Enfield No. 4
The British Royal Navy sailors are seen holding Lee-Enfield No. 4 rifles at the end of the film when they picked up Bond and Honey after the destruction of Dr. No's facility.
Bren gun
Dr. No's guards on Crab Key use a Bren gun when trying to find Bond, Honey, and Quarrel.
