From Russia With Love (1963)


Walther PPK

James Bond (Sean Connery) carries a Walther PPK in .32 ACP as his personal sidearm. Kerim Bey (Pedro Armendariz), head of MI-6's "Station T" in Turkey, also carries a PPK. Donald "Red" Grant (Robert Shaw) takes Bond's PPK and holds it on him on the Orient Express. Some Soviet agents also use it, perhaps because Makarov PM's weren't available for the film.

MP40

The SPECTRE guards on Blofeld's boat carry MP40s, as do the SPECTRE assassins sent to kill Bond via helicopter or boat. Morzeny (Walter Gotell) leads a boat full of MP40-wielding gunmen.

Armalite AR-7

Bond uses an Armalite AR-7 survival rifle, issued to him by Q, to assassinate Krilencu. Kerim Bey (Pedro Armendariz) eventually does the shooting. Q mistakenly reports the rifle to be .25 caliber, while it actually fires a .22 Long Rifle cartridge.

  • Note: It is quite possible that Q has modified a normal Armalite AR-7 to accept .25 ACP cartridges

Walther P38

A Soviet guard at the Russian consulate fires a Walther P38 during Bond's attack, but Bond stops him during a small struggle. (Note: Why a Soviet guard would be carrying a Walther P38 is unexplained) Guess: Well, they probably couldn't get any actual Soviet pistols since this was made during the Cold War, though I suppose they could have at least given him a Walther PP/PPK, which resembles a Makarov PM.

Beretta 418

Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya) draws a .25 ACP Beretta 418 pistol with pearl grips during her last-ditch attempt to steal the Lektor from Bond's hotel room. Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi) uses it to kill Klebb and save Bond.

Trivia: In the early novels, James Bond's sidearm was a Beretta 418. In the novel "From Russia with Love", it gets caught in Bond's holster, which nearly costs him his life. In the following novel, "Doctor No", M forces Bond to switch to a new weapon: the Walther PPK.'

Walther LP-53 air pistol

Sean Connery holds a Walther LP-53 air pistol in all promotional shots for the film. It is not a real model firearm, just an air pistol.

When the prop Walther PPK didn't show up for David Hurn's photo shoot of the actors, he provided his own Walther air pistol with the barrel airbrushed out on American posters. The original weapon recently sold in auction for US$439,000.(http://www.thedeadbolt.com/news/109247/james_bond_gun_christies_auction_news.php)

Gun Barrel opening sequence

Again, as in the Dr. No we can see Bond shooting his Walther PPK at someone holding Smith and Wesson revolver, in the barrel of which camera's pretending to be. And again, it's not Sean Connery, it's Bob Simmons, who we seen in this scene. It's need to be noted, that sequence is not 100% identical to the one in Dr. No.
