Octopussy is the 13th entry in the official James Bond film series. The 1983 installment follows James Bond (Roger Moore) as he travels to India and West Germany while investigating the death of a "00" agent who was in possession of a rare Fabergé egg. Of note is the switch from Bond's traditional Walther PPK to the then-new Walther P5 and for one of the earliest appearances of the Steyr AUG. Octopussy was also released the same year Sean Connery returned to the role of Bond in the rival film Never Say Never Again.
The following weapons were used in the film Octopussy:
Handguns
Colt Government Model
During the opening sequence, a bearded, hefty, lascivious cigar-smoking South American V.I.P. (Brian Coburn) (suspiciously a Fidel Castro look-alike), and Bond (Roger Moore) is seen with holstered Colt Covernment Model pistols. After getting caught trying to plant a bomb inside the hangar, Bond's gun is taken by the South American Officer (Michael Halphie) who holds it to his back and takes him into custody.
Astra Cub
Opening credits prominently feature the Astra Cub pocket pistol. It is also the sidearm of Octopussy (Maud Adams) during the attack on the palace.
Makarov pistol
There is also one Makarov pistol seen during the opening credits.
Walther P5
The Walther P5 is the sidearm of James Bond (Roger Moore) in this film, despite having told Q that he "mislaid my PPK". The P5's use was to appease Walther, who wanted to promote the new pistol. Interesting to note is that the P5 was the same pistol used by Sean Connery in Never Say Never Again, the rival film version of Bond released the same year as Octopussy.
Walther PPK
James Bond's trusted Walther PPK briefly makes an appearance in the opening credits.
TT pistol
General Orlov (Steven Berkoff) draws his holstered TT pistol and uses it to smash the Fabergé egg Bond brought with him to India.
Smith & Wesson Model 39-2
Kamal Khan (Louis Jourdan) is seen with the Smith & Wesson Model 39-2 on-board the train.
SIG P210
Seen stuck out the train window by "Kamal Khan" due to a continuity error as the filming moved to on-location-shots on board a train at the Nene Valley railway,
Colt Python
One of the U.S. Air Force Base security police guards manning the gate at the West German U.S. Air Force base carries a Colt Python, which he draws on Bond when he attempts to enter with the German Police hot on his tail after stealing the car he is in. Because of the many civilians milling around, the guard is forced to fire his six shots into the air, to alert his comrades to the security threat.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Octopussy (Maud Adams) takes a Smith & Wesson Model 36 from one of the U.S. Air Force base security police guards at the circus and uses it to blow the lock off the base of the circus cannon, revealing the atomic bomb inside.
Rifles & Carbines
Fabrique Nationale FAL
This weapon is used by a few South American soldiers in the opening sequence. The Fabrique Nationale FAL is also seen carried by one guard outside the British Embassy in West Berlin and by some of Kamal Khan's guards at his palace.
Sterling Armalite AR-18/AR-180
Some South American soldiers are seen with the Sterling Armalite AR-18/AR-180 during the opening sequence.
MGC Replica M16 Rifle
South American soldiers mostly wield Japanese MGC M16 replica rifles with 20 round magazines. The soldiers guarding James Bond (Roger Moore) after his capture are armed with these M16s, after Bond pulls their parachute ripcords, he commandeers one of the soldiers' rifles (which becomes a blank-firing full-auto AR-15/SP1 rifle at that moment).
AR-15/SP1
After pulling the soldiers parachute ripcords, sending them up into the air, Bond (Roger Moore) commandeers one of their rifles, now a blank-firing full-auto AR-15/SP1 rifle, and uses it to shoot out the truck's left front tire, causing it to crash. Another AR-15/SP1 rifle appears later on in the hands of one of the soldiers watching the missile being fired.
SKS
Soviet guards at the art depositry and some of Kamal Khan's guards can be seen with SKS carbines.
Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk. I
Most of Kamal Khan's guards use the Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk. I battle rifles.
M22
General Orlov (Steven Berkoff) arrives to India accompanied by Soviet soldiers armed with M22 assault rifles. Also carried by border guards and many Soviet soldiers in East Germany as well.
Weatherby Mk. V
Kamal Khan (Louis Jourdan) carries an Weatherby Mark V as his men search for Bond.
Adler Model Jäger AP 80
Soviet soldiers are mostly seen with the Italian-made blank-firing Adler Model Jäger AP 80 rifles as stand-in for Kalashnikov's as they probably were harder to come-by.
Steyr AUG
Oddly, carbine versions of the Steyr AUGs are used by a few Soviet soldiers in the movie. This is likely the earliest appearance of the Steyr AUG in a Hollywood film.
AKM
One Soviet soldier can be seen with an AKM when General Orlov (Steven Berkoff) orders soldiers to shoot at James Bond when he drives of in the stolen Mercedes before they get hit by some knocked over barrels. Also seen carried by another soldier at the river sight guarding the place while the car is inspected.
AKS
One Soviet soldier carried an AKS while at the river sight inspecting the Mercedes-Benz. Also carried by one guard coming to aid Kamal Khan (Louis Jourdan) fight off Bond during the attack on the palace in the finale.
Sa vz. 58 V
Seen carried by one Soviet soldier behind General Gogol (Walter Gotell) at the river sight as the general is shown the stolen jewels in the trunk of the car. One of Kamal Khan's guards also carry the Sa vz. 58 V, using it to shoot at Bond (Roger Moore) who kills him, takes the gun, and uses it (most notably while sliding down the banister).
Sa vz. 58 P
This weapon is seen carried by one Soviet soldier just as the border guards are passed by General Orlov (Steven Berkoff) who is running after the train.
Machine Guns
L7 General Purpose Machine Gun
The British L7 General Purpose Machine Gun is seen mounted on a jeep chasing James Bond and later on some other vehicle outside the hangar during the opening sequence.
M60
Due to a continuity error, the L7 becomes a M60 machine gun after the jeeps have crashed and is used by one South American soldier to fire at Bond's small airchraft.
Shotguns
Gobinda's Side by Side Shotgun
As he pursues Bond through the streets of Rajasthan, India, Gobinda (Kabir Bedi) is armed with an 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun with a huge fluted muzzle resembling a blunderbuss.
Other
Edison Giocattoli Exact High Precision 22LR
This 26 shot cap gun made by Edison Giocattoli is also seen in the opening credits.
Edison Giocattoli Jaguarmatic
Seen making a brief appearance during the opening credits.
BSA Scorpion spring powered air pistol
Octopussy (Maud Adams) and her team use specialized air pistols (BSA Scorpion) loaded with tranquilizers to fight off Kamal Khan's men.
