Licence to Kill (1989)

Licence to Kill is the 16th entry in the official James Bond film series and the final film to star Timothy Dalton as Agent 007. The 1989 sequel (which was the first not to bear the title of an Ian Fleming novel or short story) finds Bond on a personal mission to take down the drug lord responsible for an attack on his CIA friend Felix Leiter and his wife. The film co-stars Carey Lowell, Robert Davi, Benicio del Toro, and Wayne Newton.


The following weapons were used in the film Licence to Kill:


SPOILERS.jpg WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Pistols

Walther PPK

James Bond (Timothy Dalton) carries his usual Walther PPK as his weapon of choice throughout the film. However, this particular PPK is a WWII-era German Waffenamt variant (it should be noted that the PPK used in Licence To Kill was sourced from Stembridge Gun Rentals instead of Bapty and Co. since the movie was filmed entirely in the US and Mexico). This is most likely the same PPK Dalton had carried in the previous film, The Living Daylights.

Early Waffenamt marked Walther PPK. Note the differences: orange bakelite grips, lanyard ring, smaller rear sight, grooved top, and irregular front - 7.65x17mm Auto (.32 ACP)

Walther P5

During the tour of Sanchez' drug lab, Dario (Benicio del Toro) pulls a Walther P5 on Bond. A P5 was used by Bond in Octopussy.

Taurus PT92

During the pre-credits sequence, Felix Leiter (David Hedison) hands James Bond (Timothy Dalton) a Taurus PT92 "just in case". Bond uses it during the shootout against the henchmen that open fire, using it moments later to shoot the Jeep's left front tire. Milton Krest (Anthony Zerbe) uses a PT92 after Bond uses a spear gun to impale a diver and jumps off. The film's armorer states clearly its a Taurus PT92 and not a Beretta 92FS.

Braun (Guy De Saint Cyr) is armed with a Heckler & Koch P9S. He is later seen carrying it on the Wave Krest.

Beretta 950 Jetfire

Pam (Carey Lowell) carries a stainless steel Beretta 950 Jetfire as her sidearm throughout the film, giving one to Bond, and grabbing a spare one out of her purse when Bond leaves to check the hotel room. She also notably uses her Jetfire when she meets Professor Joe Butcher (Wayne Newton) when she goes to "study" with him.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch HK94A3 (Chopped and Converted)

Many of Sanchez's henchmen are armed with H&K HK94A3s chopped and converted to look and act like MP5A3 submachine guns. Dario (Benicio del Toro) carries one on the Jeep in the pre-credits sequence. The guard (Carl Ciarfalio) at Milton Krest's warehouse carries one, as do several of Sanchez's men during the final car chase. The Majority of the film was made in both the US and Mexico and the production crew sourced their weapons from Stembridge Gun Rentals instead of Bapty and Co (the traditional armorers for the James Bond movies).

The "Fake MP5", the Heckler & Koch HK94A3 Converted to full auto fire, shortened barrel and added third firing position on trigger pack - 9x19mm. This version was used in many films during the 1980s and 1990s.

Micro UZI

Perez (Alejandro Bracho) and Sanchez (Robert Davi) himself use Micro Uzis. Interestingly, in the truck chase, if you listen to the bullet impacts, they plink out some phrases from the James Bond theme song. Sanchez also notably killed Truman Lodge with this weapon after he sarcastically congratulated him with an "80 million write-off" (Bond destroyed most of Sanchez's cocaine gasoline blend shipment during the final car chase).

Colt M16A1

M16A1 rifles are held by DEA agents and SWAT officers that escort the prison van carrying Sanchez. The soldiers in the fictional country of Isthmus also carry M16A1 rifles. These rifles are fitted with M16A2 handguards.

Shotguns

Remington 870

Ed Killifer (Everett McGill), the DEA agent that Sanchez bribed to get him out of custody, carries a Remington 870 shotgun in the prison van, using it to knock the driver out and take control of the van and run it off a bridge. They were also seen carried by Bank of Isthmus City security guards during the scene that introduces Truman Lodge.

Mossberg 500 Cruiser

CIA Agent Pam Bouvier (Carey Lowell) uses a sawed-off Mossberg 500 Cruiser during the bar fight. It blows a hole in the wall somehow big enough for a human to fit through.

Launchers

FIM-43 Redeye

What are referred to as "Stingers" in the film appear to be FIM-43 Redeye launchers in reality. During the final car chase, Perez (Alejandro Bracho), one of Sanchez's henchmen, attempts to use the FIM-43 Redeye to try and kill Bond, but Bond dodges the missile by tilting his tanker on its left side wheels. Sanchez later attempts to use one to take down Pam's plane . The "Stinger" is incorrectly portrayed as a conventional rocket launcher, with the ability to be reloaded with rockets (the actual Stinger system is a single use weapon).

Used by an MI6 agent who is standing on the lighthouse at Hemingway House to shoot at a Bond as he made his escape.

"Signature Camera Gun"

Q makes Bond a customized Camera Gun to assassinate Sanchez, which can only be fired by him thanks to the fingerprint recognition mechanism built into the pistol grip (explaining why the Chinese Intelligence agents cannot get it to work). Q identified the gun's "film" as .220 high-velocity.
