In Shanghai, Bond ([[Pierce Brosnan]]) picks out the P99 from Wai Lin's ([[Michelle Yeoh]]) hidden armory. He then uses the gun, with a suppressor attached, through a great deal of the movie's climax aboard the Stealth ship, losing it only when he runs dry during an intense period of gunfire.

Dr. Kaufman ([[Vincent Schiavelli]]) uses an [[Heckler & Koch P7 pistol series#Heckler & Koch P7M8|H&K P7M8]] to attempt to kill Bond. Kaufman is subsequently executed with it by Bond. It's distinguished as the P7M8 because it lacks the M8's plastic heat shield above the trigger, and has a flush firing pin bushing. | |||

==Sterling Armalite AR-180 (heavily modified)== | |||
In the opening scene, James Bond ([[Pierce Brosnan]]) wields a heavily modified [[Armalite AR-180]] (To be more of a clandestine assault carbine). The rifle used in the film was given many modifications: the barrel was shortened; the handguards and flash hider removed; and the side-folding stock replaced with a top-folding stock. The factory sights were changed for a custom unit which would allow the stock to lay flat on top of the receiver when folded. The bolt cocking lever was also changed for a shorter custom design as the factory unit caught on Pierce's jacket lining. Only the receiver was left unchanged. The rubber stunt version of this gun is now on sale at Propstore, ''confirming at last'' what this weapon is (it has been the subject of much debate here on IMFDb and other gun message boards). The actual donor weapon utilized by the Bond armorers is a UK made Sterling AR180, serial number:SS273. Although not seen on screen, Bond takes the covert weapon out of his jacket and assembles it. This was filmed but it was felt that the spring-loaded barrel was too far fetched, ''even for James Bond''. The folding prop would only work with the small magazine fitted because the custom pistol grip folded over the top of the .223 caliber clip. They cut to the 30-round magazine for the scene where Bond is shooting from the cockpit as the short magazine would have emptied in a few seconds. The cockpit rifle was a factory issue AR180 with the addition of the flip up stock in place of the side folding version. | |||

Revision as of 17:56, 10 January 2011
The following guns appear in the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies:
Handguns
Walther PPK
For the majority of the film, James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) uses a Walther PPK as his long-standing personal sidearm. His PPK is most notably seen in the Tomorrow printing factory shootout and with its equally iconic suppressor attached when Paris Carver (Teri Hatcher) shows up to confront Bond.
Walther P99
Tomorrow Never Dies is well-known as the film in which the Walther P99 replaces the older PPK as Bond's sidearm. In Shanghai, Bond (Pierce Brosnan) picks out the P99 from Wai Lin's (Michelle Yeoh) hidden armory. He then uses the gun, with a suppressor attached, through a great deal of the movie's climax aboard the Stealth ship, losing it only when he runs dry during an intense period of gunfire. This is also the gun featured on many posters for the film.
Beretta 92FS
In the opening sequence at the terrorist arms bazaar, Bond knocks out a terrorist pilot who has a Beretta 92FS (although the pistol is a Browning BDA in the next shot).
Browning HP-BDA
Due to a continuity error, the pilot's Beretta transforms into a double-action-only Browning BDA when Bond knocks it out of his hand.
SIG P210
One of Gupta's terrorists uses a SIG P210 to commandeer a Jeep when Bond begins shooting up the bazaar.
Heckler & Koch P7
Dr. Kaufman (Vincent Schiavelli) uses an H&K P7M8 to attempt to kill Bond. Kaufman is subsequently executed with it by Bond. It's distinguished as the P7M8 because it lacks the M8's plastic heat shield above the trigger, and has a flush firing pin bushing.
Type 59
This is the Chinese version of the Russian Makarov PM used by the the thugs who attack Wai Lin at her safe house. Bond later points it out after he incapacitates a thug with it.
SIG-Sauer P229
Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce) uses a SIG-Sauer P229 and shoots Henry Gupta (Ricky Jay) in the chest. Tomorrow Never Dies may be one of the earliest films to feature the P229 (which had been introduced only a few years prior and was not nearly as common in cinema as the 9mm SIG-Sauer P228, upon which it was based).
Glock 17
Carver's guards use Glock 17 pistols. Carver (Jonathan Pryce) himself uses one in the final scene.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Many of Carver's henchmen, including Stamper (Gotz Otto) carry H&K MP5A3 submachine guns. In the final gunfight on Carver's ship, Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh) dual-wields two.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
Many of Carver's henchmen carry H&K MP5K submachine guns. Stamper (Gotz Otto) has one briefly during the shootout with Bond on Carver's ship.
Heckler & Koch MP5K (with PDW folding stock)
Some of Carver's henchmen carry Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW submachine guns. Bond (Pierce Brosnan) commandeers one in the final scene, using it akimbo with his P99. None of the MP5K-PDWs in this movie are factory MP5K-PDWs, they're just standard MP5Ks fitted with the PDW folding stock, which is actually not the same thing: The factory MP5K-PDW has a Navy trigger group and a threaded barrel to accept suppressors; the ones in the movie all have the SEF trigger group and no threaded barrel. That means the film's armorers just stuck the PDW stocks on regular MP5Ks.
Calico M950A
In Vietnam, when Bond and Wai Lin make their escape from Elliot Carver's penthouse room, Bond procures a Calico M950A from a disabled security guard, using the machine pistol to shoot out a nearby window. The pair then jump, avoiding gunfire from more of Carver's guards, some of whom are armed with M950s.
Assault Rifles
Sterling Armalite AR-180 (heavily modified)
In the opening scene, James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) wields a heavily modified Armalite AR-180 (To be more of a clandestine assault carbine). The rifle used in the film was given many modifications: the barrel was shortened; the handguards and flash hider removed; and the side-folding stock replaced with a top-folding stock. The factory sights were changed for a custom unit which would allow the stock to lay flat on top of the receiver when folded. The bolt cocking lever was also changed for a shorter custom design as the factory unit caught on Pierce's jacket lining. Only the receiver was left unchanged. The rubber stunt version of this gun is now on sale at Propstore, confirming at last what this weapon is (it has been the subject of much debate here on IMFDb and other gun message boards). The actual donor weapon utilized by the Bond armorers is a UK made Sterling AR180, serial number:SS273. Although not seen on screen, Bond takes the covert weapon out of his jacket and assembles it. This was filmed but it was felt that the spring-loaded barrel was too far fetched, even for James Bond. The folding prop would only work with the small magazine fitted because the custom pistol grip folded over the top of the .223 caliber clip. They cut to the 30-round magazine for the scene where Bond is shooting from the cockpit as the short magazine would have emptied in a few seconds. The cockpit rifle was a factory issue AR180 with the addition of the flip up stock in place of the side folding version.
Norinco Type 56-1
In the opening shootout at the bazaar some of the terrorists are seen shooting at Bond with Norinco Type 56-1 assault rifles with AK-74-style muzzle brakes installed, probably the exact same guns that were used previously in GoldenEye (which had the same armorers as this movie). Several can be seen in Wai Lin's safehouse as well.
M16A2
Several of Carver's men use M16A2 rifles in the parking garage scene, modified with Beta-C Magazines and M203 Grenade Launchers. M16A2s without M203s are used by all of the American soldiers at the air base.
Colt Model 727
In the Atlantic Hotel parking garage, at least one of Carver's goons uses an Colt Model 727 carbine fitted with an M203 grenade launcher to fire at Bond BMW. The M727 seen in the parking garage has an MWC 90-round drum. During the climax of the movie, Stamper (Gotz Otto) locates Wai Lin and holds her at gunpoint with an M727/M203 combination; however, his rifle is fitted with a standard 30-round magazine.
AKS-74U
Several AKS-74Us can be seen hung vertically on the right in Wai Lin's safehouse.
FAMAS
Several FAMAS rifles are also visible in Wai Lin's safehouse.
Machine Guns
M60E3 Machine Gun
After the HMS Devonshire is sunk in the beginning of the film, the survivors are approached by the Stealth Boat that discreetly tore a hole in it with a remote-controlled sea drill. As they plead for help, Stamper (Götz Otto) emerges with an M60E3 machine gun and fires it on the crowd of survivors, killing all of them. One goof in the film is that Stamper is told to "make sure he uses the right ammo" when killing the survivors, though he obviously ignored this order as no weapon used by communist China fires the 7.62x51mm NATO rounds used by the M60E3, let alone the MiG aircraft that were blamed for the sinking.
GE M134 Minigun
A hand-held GE M134 Minigun can be seen in Wai Lin's safehouse.
Other Weapons
M203 grenade launcher
Several of Carver's henchmen use Colt Model 727 carbines and M16A2 assault rifles fitted with M203 grenade launchers throughout the movie, particularly during the shootout at the Atlantic Hotel parking garage. An M727/M203 combination is used by Stamper (Gotz Otto) in the climax of the movie; he uses the M203 to rapid-fire multiple grenades at Bond.
LAW 80
One of Carver's men uses what appears to be an LAW 80 when trying to stop Bond's BMW in the hotel parking garage.
Trivia Section
- The 'Stealth Boat' was made from a SeaCat ferry, but modified to look like the real life Lockheed SeaShadow stealth boat used by the US Navy. The Lockheed SeaShadow is much smaller in size and was used as a test platform for navy trials.
