The following weapons were used in the film From Russia with Love:

Pistols

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.

Llama Model XVIII

Grant pulls a Spanish Llama Model XVIII .25 calibre pistol from an ankle holster and uses it to intimidate Bond on the Orient Express. Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya) draws a Llama Model XVIII pistol with pearl grips during her last-ditch attempt to steal the Lektor from Bond's hotel room.

Beretta Model 418

Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi) picks up Rosa Klebb's dropped gun, that has now become a .25 ACP Beretta Model 418 pistol with pearl grips, and uses it to kill Klebb and save Bond.

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

Tatiana tries to find her target with the Beretta.

Gunpowder visible after Tanya fired the Beretta. Tatiana (Daniela Bianchi) is seen flinching in this picture. An appropriate reaction for a character who has never fired guns before.

Submachine Guns

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.

Rifles

Armalite AR-7

Bond uses an Armalite AR-7 survival rifle with a custom suppressor and infra-red scope, 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

Mauser Karabiner 98k

Mauser Karabiner 98k rifles were seen in the hands of SPECTRE guards at SPECTRE island. Mauser Karabiner 98k rifles were also seen in the hands of both the Gypsies and the Bulgarian agents later in the film.

Lee-Enfield No.4 & Energa Rifle Grenade

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.

Walther LP-53 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 pistol 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 Dr. No we can see Bond shooting his Walther PPK at someone holding a Smith & Wesson revolver, from the point of view of the inside of the barrel. Again, it's not Sean Connery, it's Bob Simmons, whom we see in this scene. It's need to be noted, that sequence is not 100% identical to the one in Dr. No.

James Bond (Bob Simmons) just shot another enemy with his Walther PPK.
