Revision as of 19:11, 19 January 2012
The following weapons appear in the film Moonraker:
Handguns
Smith & Wesson Model 38 Bodyguard
At the start of the film, the Hostess of the Private Jet, (Leila Shenna), that Bond is with aboard a plane pulls a Smith & Wesson Model 38 Bodyguard revolver on him, handing it off to the pilot (Jean-Pierre Castaldi) entering the cabin from the cockpit. The pilot (Jean-Pierre Castaldi) then uses it to shoot out the controls before he and the Hostess (Leila Shenna) bail out, planning to leave Bond to crash in the out-of-control aircraft.
Walther PPK
In some publicity material for the film (such as the box art above), Bond can be seen with his iconic Walther PPK, though interestingly does not carry one in the film.
Shotguns
Holland & Holland Royal
While visiting the Drax residence in California, James Bond (Roger Moore) engages in pheasant hunting with Hugo Drax (Michael Lonsdale), both men using Holland & Holland Royal double-barreled shotguns. Bond nonchalantly uses his to take out a sniper hiding in a nearby tree.
Rifles
Steyr Mannlicher-Schönauer Sporter
The assassin whom Drax sends into a tree to kill Bond while pheasant hunting uses a Steyr Mannlicher-Schoenauer Sporter with scope.
Submachine Guns
MP40
In Venice, the gangsters chasing Bond through the canals use MP40 submachine guns. When Bond escapes overland on his gondola, one of the thugs drops his MP40 into the water just before he himself falls in.
MAC-10
During the speedboat chase in Brazil, Jaws (Richard Kiel) and one of his henchmen carry MAC-10s. Jaws' MAC-10 has an elongated barrel.
Sterling SMG
A guard at the Moonraker launch base can be seen with a Sterling SMG.
Assault Rifles
M16A1 Rifle
Drax's guards at the Moonraker launch base in Brazil carry M16A1 rifles with 20-round magazines. A Marine can also briefly be seen with one at a U.S. base.
Others
Moonraker Laser
The Moonraker Laser is a custom prop weapon designed for the film. It appears to be a plastic and resin mock up built out of the plastic toy ** IMI Uzi submachine gun that was commonly available at the time, with some fancy modifications on it. The crew of Drax's space station are also armed with smaller laser pistols (which seem to resemble hairdryers...). It later made an appearance in the video game adaptation of Goldeneye. Another item Drax' guards are armed with are rubber clubs but seemingly they have something in their head, as otherwise some of their posings would not make any sense.
Appearances In Other Films
** The toy Uzi used as the basis for the Moonraker Laser was also used in quite a few Sci-fi & 'action' B movies during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
