Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)

The following guns appear in the film Tomorrow Never Dies:




Armalite AR-18 (heavily modified)

In the opening scene, James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) wields a heavily modified Armalite AR-18(To be more of a clandestine assault carbine.). The rifle used in the film was given many modifications; the barrel was shortened, the handguards and flash hider removed, and the side-folding stock replaced with a top-folding stock. Only the receiver was left unchanged. The rubber stunt version of this gun is now on sale at Propstore, confirming at last what this weapon is (it has been the subject of much debate here on IMFDB and other gun message boards).

Norinco Type 56-1

In the opening shootout at the bazaar some of the terrorists are seen shooting at Bond with Norinco Type 56-1 assault rifles with AK-74-style muzzle breaks installed, probably the exact same guns that were used previously in GoldenEye. Several can be seen in Wai Lin's safehouse as well.

M60E3

After the HMS Devonshire is sunk in the beginning of the film, the survivors are approached by the Stealth Boat that discreetly tore a hole in it with a remote-controlled sea drill. As they plead for help, Stamper (Gotz Otto) emerges with an M60E3 Machine Gun and fires it into the crowd of survivors, killing all of them.

Walther PPK

For the majority of the film, James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) uses a Walther PPK as his long-standing personal sidearm. His PPK is most notably seen in the Tomorrow printing factory shootout and with its equally iconic suppressor attached when Paris Carver (Teri Hatcher) shows up to confront Bond. Tomorrow Never Dies represents the last time until Quantum of Solace that the PPK would show up in a Bond film.

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

Many of Carver's henchmen, including Stamper (Gotz Otto) carry Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns. In the final gunfight on Carver's ship, Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh) dual-wields two.

Heckler & Koch P7

Dr. Kaufman (Vincent Schiavelli) uses a Heckler & Koch P7 to attempt to kill Bond. Kaufman is subsequently executed with it by Bond. It's distinguished from the P7M8 because it lacks the M8's plastic heat shield above the trigger, and has a flush firing pin bushing.

Heckler & Koch MP5K (with PDW folding stock)

Some of Carver's henchmen carry Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW submachine guns. Bond (Pierce Brosnan) comandeers one in the final scene, using it akimbo with his P99.

Minor mistake, but technically, these aren't real MP5K-PDWs, they're just standard MP5Ks fitted with the PDW folding stock, which is actually not the same thing. The factory MP5K-PDW has a Navy trigger group and a threaded barrel to accept suppressors; the ones in the movie all have the SEF trigger group and no threaded barrel. That means the film's armorers just stuck the PDW stocks on regular MP5Ks.

M4A1 Carbine with M203 grenade launcher

In the Atlantic Hotel parking garage, Many of Carver's goons use M4A1 with M203 Grenade Launcher rifles to destroy Bond BMW (Some of them with Beta-C drum barrels). The M4 seen in the parking garage actually has one of those inverted 90-round drums (look closely and pause just when the guy with the M4/M203 fires the grenade which destroys the BMW's windshield). During the climax of the movie, Stamper (Gotz Otto) locates Wai Lin and holds her at gunpoint an M4.

Walther P99

In Shanghai, Bond (Pierce Brosnan) picks out a Walther P99 from Wai Lin's (Michelle Yeoh) hidden armory. He then uses the gun, with a suppressor attached, through a great deal of the movie's climax aboard the Stealth ship, losing it only when he runs dry during an intense period of gunfire. This is also the gun featured on many posters for the film.

Trivia Section

  • The 'Stealth Boat' was made from a SeaCat ferry, but modified to look like the real life Lockheed SeaShadow stealth boat used by the US Navy. The Lockheed SeaShadow is much smaller in size and was used as a test platform for navy trials.
