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 Colt is taken by the South American Officer (Michael Halphie) who holds it to his back and takes him into custody.
Astra Cub
The Astra Cub pocket pistol with pearl grips is featured heavily during the opening credits. It is also seen held by Octopussy (Maud Adams) during the attack on Kamal Khan's palace.
Makarov (PM)
The Makarov pistol feature prominently in 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 Model PPK
Bond's trusted Walther Model PPK is seen briefly in the opening credits.
Tula Tokarev (TT)
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
The Smith & Wesson Model 39-2 is seen pulled by Kamal Khan (Louis Jourdan) on the train.
SIG P210
The Smith & Wesson becomes a SIG P210 as filming switches from studio to on location shots 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
FN FAL
The FN FAL battle rifle is seen carried by some of the South American soldiers during the opening sequence. The FAL is also seen carried by the guard outside the British Embassy in West Berlin and by some of Kamal Khan's guards at his Indian palace.
Sterling AR-18
The Sterling AR-18 is also carried by some of the South American soldiers during the opening sequence.
Model Gun Corp M16 Replica 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 Colt AR-15 Model SP1 at that moment).
Colt AR-15 Model 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 Colt AR-15 Model SP1, and uses it to shoot out the truck's left front tire, causing it to crash. Another Colt AR-15 Model 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.

Adler Model Jäger AP 80

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
The AKM is seen carried by one soldier firing at Bond in General Olrov's Mercedes and later another soldier at the sight were car is salvaged out of the river.
Samopal vz. 58 P
The Samopal vz. 58 P is seen carried by one of the soldiers on the ATV and later by another soldier running after General Orlov at the border.

One of the soldiers behind General Gogol (Walter Gotell) is seen carrying an Samopal vz. 58 V as the general asks another soldier for Orlov's whereabouts after seeing the jewels in the trunk of his Mercedes.

Machine Guns
FN MAG
During the opening sequence, after overwhelming and escaping his captors, Bond (Roger Moore) is chased by some Jeeps. One of the vehicles has an FN MAG mounted in the back. The barrel of another MAG is later seen mounted on top of another vehicle outside the hangar just as its about to go up in smoke.
