"Type 88"
I don't think it is a Type 88. The only Type 88s around are in North Korea, which I don't think they would be handing out to a film that made it look bad. There are 5.45mm steel magazines for the AK around, like this: http://home.comcast.net/~shooter2_indy/ak74_mag_guide.html So I think it's just a mocked up AK74 to look like a North Korean Type 88.

- You're correct. That is quite obviously a Chinese Type 56-1 rifle (not an AK-74; the magazine is too curved for 5.45x39mm) mocked up to look like a DPRK Type 88 rifle. Some anonymous user changed it without our permission, because he apparently didn't stop to consider what you said. But you're right; there's no way that that's a genuine Type 88 rifle. North Korea, unlike the Chinese, has never exported its weapons for Western consumers, so there's no way that the movie's armorers could have access to a Type 88. -MT2008
- I agree with Hoot. There is no way an North Korean gun would find its way to a western movie.-Oliveira 21:10, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
why dont we have the bond movies titles in order so there easier to find?
- They're right here: http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=Category:James_Bond
Does Desmond Llewelyn need his own page? He played Q in all those movies, surely he's handled firearms at some point. --redram355 20:45, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
Favourite Weapons
My favourite guns used in this Bond film are the guns used by the North Korean soldiers, Colonel Moon's "fake" OICW, the weapons mounted and connected on his massive hovercraft and Zao's Stechkin APS machine pistol. What are your favourites?
