As Bond screws the suppressor into the FN, what has happened to his tie? This always seemed to be a glaring continuity error to me.
Can someone identify what revolver is it?
I mean the one used to film Gunbarrell sequence.
- In a two part interview in Starlog magazine, Maurice Binder said he bought .38 barrel (no mention made of the length) that he used for the gun barrel sequence (originally with stuntman and Bond double Bob Simmons). He filmed the sequence through a pinhole so both the rifling and Bob were in full focus.Foofbun 19:33, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

middle gun
I'm pretty sure the middle guy in the picture of the "three blind mice" is holding a Savage .32acp semi-auto. Which I knew what model, but that thing looks way too small to be a p-38.
Actually, in the film, in motion, it does clearly show the distinctive barrel of the P38. It just doesn't show right in the picture. --Jackbel 20:25, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
Backwards magazine, Bren gun
I agree with the pic-comment that the magazine looks backwards. Also note that when the soldier fires the weapon the flash looks more like a gas-flame: hinting its a prop-weapon. My 2 cents worth. Dudster32 12:51, 30 July 2012 (CDT)
- The muzzle looks odd, too, like something's been placed inside the flared part. Evil Tim 12:54, 30 July 2012 (CDT)
Sten guns probably rubber props
I've reviewed the movie again and I do believe that at least a few of the Sten guns are rubber props: There are no charging handles. In fact the bolt & handle doesnt even have a way of travelling back and forward as the gun is solid all the way around. I dont have any new pics to show it in more detail yet, but I'm 99% sure of the above. Dudester32 (talk) 12:57, 20 May 2013 (EDT)
Here is a better quality photo of a prop Sten. Dudester32 (talk) 13:03, 20 May 2013 (EDT)
Well done, Dud. No doubt they also used one when the crew of the Dragon Tank hits Bond on the head when they capture him and Honey.Foofbun (talk) 17:21, 21 May 2013 (EDT)
- I'm not sure the one pictured above is a rubber prop. Firstly there is a lot of detail on that gun for a rubber stunt gun, particularly on the lower receiver. Also there are some parts that appear metal such as the end cap, sights and muzzle nut, along with all of the edges on the gun (granted this could be done with silver paint, but it would flake off of rubber and wouldn't look this consistent). Lastly, maybe it is just me but I can see the groove in the receiver for the bolt handle in the above photo. You can also see the slot for locking the bolt in the rear position, it is just ahead of the front of the trigger guard. It is not as obvious as it should be though (as the bolt handle is not visible at the rear it isn't cocked, meaning that the slot should be empty and black with a silver spring as in the gun image), and due to the fact that there is no visible bolt handle I think it may be a deactivated gun with the receiver filled with a plain metal cylinder or something like that (this would also explain why the "bolt" visible through the ejection port is plain and lacks an ejector. --commando552 (talk) 17:52, 21 May 2013 (EDT)
- After re-reviewing the movieI agree. Its probably a deactivated metal weapon in at least one of the scenes. In another scene (dont have photo yet) I can see a bolt-handle, but the gun still looks unusuable. I'll go over the pics and try and figure out which ones are deactivated or not.

Poster pistol
Is the pistol used in the poster based on an actual weapon?Foofbun (talk) 07:22, 30 October 2013 (EDT)
- Dont know..My first guess was a Luger, but on second look it doesnt look like it. Nor is it a Lahti L-35 which would have been my second guess. Dudester32 (talk) 15:00, 30 October 2013 (EDT)
- To me it looks more like a Ruger Standard, however it is hard to tell as the picture isn't great quality and due to the way it has been cropped to make the poster, I think some of the parts of the gun have actually been chopped off. There were also a few air pistols in the 60s that looked a bit like this, so think it might also be one of them. --commando552 (talk) 16:45, 30 October 2013 (EDT)
- Thank you very much for your help on this everyone. With that little protrusion on the back I thought it might be the Husqvarna M40 version of the Lahti L-35. The Ruger Standard looks well too, however the artwork doesn't seem to have an ejector port.Foofbun (talk) 17:46, 31 October 2013 (EDT)
