GoldenEye (1995)
The following guns were used in the James Bond movie Goldeneye:
Walther PPK
As in all James Bond movies (prior to Tomorrow Never Dies), Pierce Brosnan as James Bond uses a Walther PPK as his sidearm (in the opening scene at the chemical weapons factory, it is fitted with a suppressor). In one scene of the film, Bond points this gun at Valentin Zukovsky (Robbie Coltrane), who identifies it by the sound of the hammer being cocked as a "Walther PPK, Seven-Point-Six-Five-Millimeter", thus leaving the viewers with no doubt about the weapon's caliber. He also comments that, "Only three men I know use such a gun...and I believe I've killed two of them."
Browning Hi-Power
In the opening scene at the chemical weapons factory, Alec Trevelyan (Sean Bean) uses a Browning Hi-Power 9mm fitted with a suppressor as his sidearm; it appears to the be the later Mark III model with plastic grips.
(NOTE: This is NOT the Browning BDM, which Trevelyan uses later in the film - it clearly has a single-action hammer and a longer barrel, which are features of the earlier Browning HP models.)
Browning BDM
During the finale of the movie, which takes place at Trevelyan's secret Goldeneye satellite control dish in Cuba, Trevelyan is seen brandishing a Browning BDM 9mm, a modernized, double-action variant of the Browning Hi-Power he uses earlier in the film (see above).
Makarov PM
General Ourumov (Gottfried John) uses a Makarov PM as his standard sidearm. It is used most notably in the opening sequence at the chemical weapons factory, when he uses it to shoot Trevelyan (unknown to Bond, this killing is fake - merely part of a plot to help Trevelyan disappear).
AKS-74U
Bond very frequently uses the AKS-74U, the compact version of the AK-74, by taking them from slain or incapacitated Russian soldiers. He first acquires this weapon during the opening scene at the chemical weapons factory, and then again during the escape from the Soviet archives (he takes this AKS-74U in the T-55 tank with him, and then uses it again when he confronts Trevelyan on his train).
Xenia Onatopp (Famke Jenssen) also uses an AKS-74U (with two magazines "jungle-taped" together). She first uses this weapon to kill all of the technicians at the Severnaya Goldeneye control center, and then is seen carrying it again on Trevelyan's missile train (however, she drops it when the train crashes, and when Trevelyan tries to grab it, he is stopped by Bond, who points his own AKSU at him).
(Fake) AKS-74
The weapons used by the Russian soldiers throughout the movie (and by Bond and Trevelyan during the shootout on the satellite dish) are often referred to as AK-74 or AKS-74 rifles. This is correct in some instances, but wrong in most cases. The vast majority of the so-called "AK-74s" used by Russian soldiers in this movie are actually Norinco Type 56-1 rifles, a Chinese copy of the AKMS. The prop weapons used in the movie have been fitted with AK-74-style muzzle breaks and plastic magazines to make them resemble AKS-74s, but the giveaway is the fact that the weapons clearly have under-folding stocks (on the AKS-74, the stock folds to the side), and more curved magazines for 7.62x39mm ammo (the AK-74 magazines are less curved). The weapons are clearly identifiable as Norinco Type 56-1s because they have the distinctive hooded front sights which characterize only Chinese-made Kalashnikov variants.
On a few occasions in the movie, it is possible to spot genuine AK-74 and AKS-74 rifles in the hands of some of the Russian soldiers (see below), usually in non-firing scenes. These are not nearly as common, however, as the mocked-up Chinese Type 56-1s which are intended to pass for AK-74s. This seems rather odd - if the film's armorers could get their hands on genuine AK-74 rifles (and AKS-74Us), why would they need to use other weapons made to look like AK-74s?
CZ-52
During the scene in which Bond meets Zukovsky at his night club in St. Petersburg, he makes a disparaging comment about the singing talents of Zukovsky's mistress. Zukovsky does not take kindly to this comment, so he pulls a Czech CZ-52 pistol from beneath his jacket and fires a round at the couch between Bond's legs.
