Revision as of 15:54, 16 December 2009
The following weapons were used in the film Dr. No:
M1911A1
Two of 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.
Walther P38
One of the "three blind mice" assassins at the beginning has a Walther P38.
Beretta M1934
James Bond (Sean Connery) hands his Beretta M1934 over to M (Bernard Lee) and the armorer in the beginning of the film, receiving his PPK as a replacement.
Walther PPK
James Bond (Sean Connery) is issued a 7.65 mm 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 7.65 chambering; this is a result of the book's "upgrade" of Bond's .25 ACP Beretta 418 to the more powerful Walther).
- M: "Yes, I thought so. This damn Beretta again. I've told you about this before." (to the armorer) "You tell him, for the last time."
- Maj. Boothroyd: "It's nice and light... in a lady's handbag. No stopping power."
- M: "Any comments, 007?"
- James Bond: "I disagree, sir. I've used the Beretta for ten years. And I've never missed with it yet."
- M: "Maybe not, but it jammed on your last job and you spent six months in the hospital in consequence. If you carry a double-O number, it means you're licensed to kill, not get killed... From now on you'll carry a different gun. Show him, armorer."
- Maj. Boothroyd: "Walther PPK. 7.65 mil with a delivery like a brick through a plate glass window. Takes a brush silencer with very little reduction in muzzle velocity. The American CIA swear by them."
Walther PP
Although Bond (Sean Connery) is assigned a "Walther PPK" in the film, in some shots in both London and Jamaica it appears to be the longer-barreled Walther PP. Felix Leiter (Jack Lord) also carries a Walther PP, even though he's a CIA agent and, according to M, would use the PPK.
unidentified pistol
Mr. Jones (Reginald Carter), the driver sent by Dr. No, keeps a pistol in the glovebox of his Chevrolet Bel Air to kill Bond with.
Sten
Dr. No's men carry Sten SMGs on Crab Key, most notably during Quarrel's death and Bond's decontamination.
FN Browning M1910
Bond (Sean Connery) 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.
Colt Police Positive
Quarrel (John Kitzmiller) takes a Colt Police Positive to Crab Key to search for Dr. No.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Dr. No's guards have Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolvers in their holsters, drawing them during the search for Bond, Honey, and Quarrel.
Bren gun
Dr. No's guards on Crab Key use a Bren gun when trying to find Bond, Honey, and Quarrel. The sailors with Felix also have a Bren gun.
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.
