From Russia with Love
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
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 MI6'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, since Makarov PMs were likely unavailable for the film.
Mauser C96
Grant (Robert Shaw) carries a Mauser C96, most notably during the gypsy shootout, using it to kill a Bulgarian about to kill Bond.
Walther P38
A guard at the Soviet consulate fires a Walther P38 during Bond's attack, but Bond stops him during a small struggle. Another possible P38 can be seen at the shooting range.

Llama Model XVIII
Grant pulls a Spanish Llama Model XVIII from an ankle holster and uses it to intimidate Bond on the Orient Express. Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya) draws a Llama Model XVIII with pearl grips during her last-ditch attempt to steal the Lektor from Bond's hotel room. After killing her, Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi) holds Klebb's Llama.
Beretta Model 418
Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi) picks up Rosa Klebb's dropped gun, that has now become a .25 ACP Beretta Model 418 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.
Luger LP 08 (Probable)
In a brief shot at the SPECTRE training camp a pistol which resembles a Luger LP 08 is seen stacked on a rack.
Submachine Guns
MP 40
The SPECTRE guards on Blofeld's boat carry MP 40s, as do the SPECTRE assassins sent to kill Bond via helicopter or boat. Morzeny (Walter Gotell) leads a boat full of MP 40-wielding gunmen.
Thompson M1921
One of the SPECTRE trainees is reloading a Thompson M1921 as Klebb and Morzeny walk past. Several others can be seen at a rack in front of training station #1. They all have missing Cutts compensators, combined with vertical grips and box-shaped rear sights, which likely makes them an early Model 1921.
Lanchester Mk. I*
A Lanchester Mk. I* can also be spotted at the firing range.
Shotguns
Sawed-Off Double Barreled Shotgun
What appears to be a Sawed-Off Double Barreled Shotgun with sawed-off barrels is seen at the firing range.
Rifles
ArmaLite AR-7
Bond uses an ArmaLite AR-7 survival rifle with a custom suppressor and infrared 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.
ArmaLite AR-10
SPECTRE trainees at the boot camp and rifle range use ArmaLite AR-10s, among other weapons.
Karabiner 98k
Karabiner 98k rifles were seen in the hands of SPECTRE guards at SPECTRE island. Karabiner 98ks were also seen in the hands of both the gypsies and the Bulgarian agents later in the film.
L1A1 Self-Loading Rifle
An L1A1 is seen on a gun rack at SPECTRE's boot camp and rifle range.
Lee-Enfield No.4 and Energa Rifle Grenade
SPECTRE agents use what appear to be mocked-up or dummy Energa rifle grenades (designated by the British as Grenade, Rifle, A tk, No. 94 Mk. 1, and by the US Military as M28) attached to a Lee-Enfield No. 4.
Unknown Sporting Rifles
Three sporterized or sporting rifles can be seen at the shooting range. Two of them generally resemble the Winchester 70, but it is difficult to make a more accurate identification.
The third rifle is in a target configuration, but again, this is only dimly visible.

Machine Guns
Bren Gun
SPECTRE trainees at the boot camp and rifle range also use .303 Bren guns.
MG 42
An MG 42 with a deployed mounted bipod is seen vertically stacked on a gun rack as Klebb inspects the training camp.
Miscellaneous
Webley & Scott No. 1 Mk. III* Signal Pistol
Bond uses a Webley & Scott No. 1 Mk. III* Signal Pistol to ignite fuel drums during the boat chase.
Custom Flamethrower
One of the SPECTRE trainees at the boot camp is also seen with a custom flamethrower.
Walther LP-53
Sean Connery holds a Walther LP-53 air pistol in all promotional shots for the film. It is not a real 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 pistol was sold at auction in 2010 for £277,250 (about $430,000 USD at the time).
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 needs to be noted, this sequence is not 100% identical to the one in Dr. No.
