In the scene before this scene, we can see Bond put a magazine into his Walther.

If you look closely at the screencap of the PPK, you can see it has the "bull-dog" nose of a prewar ro WWII gun rather than sleeker lines of all the other pics of PPKs,so it is probably a tricked-up piece rigged to accidentally go off when Bond drops it,which IIRC,the Walther factory didn't like at all. As to the mag extension,specking from experience, they ''will'' crack or break when dropped,so why risk it? I never noticed it until I saw the sceencap, and I first saw TB when it was in the theater! | If you look closely at the screencap of the PPK, you can see it has the "bull-dog" nose of a prewar ro WWII gun rather than sleeker lines of all the other pics of PPKs,so it is probably a tricked-up piece rigged to accidentally go off when Bond drops it,which IIRC,the Walther factory didn't like at all.

The following weapons were used in the film Thunderball:
Walther PPK
Both James Bond (Sean Connery) and Count Lippe (Guy Doleman) carry the Walther PPK with and without a suppressor. Vargas (Philip Locke) can briefly be seen with one as he silently approaches Bond and Domino.
In the scene before this scene, we can see Bond put a magazine into his Walther. But now there's no magazine in the gun--User: Colt Revolver Fan -It only looks that way, since most early bond movies used Walther PPKs with flush magazines instead of extended magazines. If you look closely at the screencap of the PPK, you can see it has the "bull-dog" nose of a prewar ro WWII gun rather than sleeker lines of all the other pics of PPKs,so it is probably a tricked-up piece rigged to accidentally go off when Bond drops it,which IIRC,the Walther factory didn't like at all. As to the mag extension,specking from experience, they will crack or break when dropped,so why risk it? I never noticed it until I saw the sceencap, and I first saw TB when it was in the theater!

Beretta M1934
When Count Lippe (Guy Doleman) prepares to face Bond at Shrublands, he affixes a suppressor to a compact Beretta M1934.
Colt Detective Special
Count Lippe fires a Colt Detective Special at Bond while chasing him on the road from Shrublands.
Beretta 950 Jetfire
Fiona Volpe (Luciana Paluzzi) pulls a .25 caliber Beretta 950 Jetfire on James Bond when he tells her that he knows she works for SPECTRE. (Special Note: In the Novel From Russia with Love, this is the Beretta model that causes M to force 007 into using the new Walther PPK.)
Beretta M1951
One of Largo's thugs gets his Beretta M1951 knocked out of his hands, which Leiter unloads.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
One of Largo's thugs and later Largo (Adolfo Celi) himself carry Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolvers. It is the thug with the Model 36 that shoots Bond in the leg during the chase.
Colt New Service
One of Largo's thugs fires a Colt New Service at Bond during the dance, but accidentally shoots Fiona.
MP40
The SPECTRE guards at Largo's residence and on the Disco Volante use MP40 submachine guns.
Sterling L2A3
Some SPECTRE guards are briefly seen carrying Sterling L2A3s.
Unidentified Sniper Rifle
Felix Leiter (Rik Van Nutter) fires a rifle with a scope at a shark to distract the other sharks as Bond dives.
The upper handguard on the rifle gives it away as a M1 Carbine variant. It may be one of the Iver Johnson M1 carbines that had a pistol grip stock.
There is another possiblity,the French Unique .22 Model L pistol/carbine combo,which featured a pistol that fitted up into the "M1 carbine"-like stock,which got around ATF regs due to the fact the carbine set-up had an 18 inch barrel.Leiter is holding the carbine the way one would hold this model.

Remington 1100
Both Largo (Adolfo Celi) and Fiona (Luciana Paluzzi) fire sporting Remington 1100s with raised ribbed when target shooting. Bond claims to Largo that the shotgun would look better in the hands of a woman.
Browning Auto-5
Bond fires a Browning Auto-5 when shooting with Largo.
Browning M1919A4
A Coast Guard speedboat battling the Disco Volante has a .30-06 caliber Browning M1919A4 machine gun mounted on the bow.
Browning M2
The Disco Volante's "cocoon" section carries two .50 BMG caliber Browning M2 machine guns.
It could be either an M3 hence the jacket, Or just an M1919/FN30.
Lahti L-39 Anti-Tank Rifle
The Disco Volante's "cocoon" section also has a Lahti L-39 20 mm anti-tank rifle mounted.
Spear Gun
Almost all underwater scenes (and a few above water) extensively feature spear guns used in battle.
