Bond's PPK lays on the ground.

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!

Felix aims his rifle.

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.
