Goldfinger

Goldfinger is the third entry in the official James Bond film series. The 1964 sequel follows Bond (Sean Connery) as he assigned to investigate the smuggling of Nazi gold. In the course of his investigation, he stumbles upon a plot to destroy the US gold reserves in Fort Knox that appears to be orchestrated by a wealthy magnate who is obsessed with owning the precious metal. The film was the first blockbuster in the series and would set the tone for the majority of the films to follow.
__TOC__
=Handguns=
== Walther PPK ==
James Bond (Sean Connery) keeps a brown-gripped .32 ACP Walther PPK in his shoulder holster, seen most prominently when a Cuban hitman, "Capungo" (Alf Joint, one of Sean Connery's stunt doubles), tries to grab it during the pre-credits sequence. The film marks the first time Bond does not fire a single round from his trademark weapon.
Trivia: Capungo is not his name - it's frequently used as a synonym for the word "hitman" in Spanish-speaking countries, particularly Mexico and Cuba. In the original novel by Ian Fleming, Capungo was killed by Bond with just a single kick to his neck.
== Luger P08 ==
During the pre-credits sequence, the South American heroin factory guard Bond knocks out has a Luger P08 in his holster.
== Smith & Wesson Model 10 ==
One of Goldfinger's guards fires a Smith & Wesson Model 10 with a 3" barrel at Bond and Tilly during the chase.
== Walther P38 ==
When Bond (Sean Connery) first engages Goldfinger's men in a gunfight outside Goldfinger's Geneva factory, he fires a Walther P38 at them rather than his usual PPK, presumably from the under seat concealed firearm drawer (seen in publicity stills and films). Several of Auric Goldfinger's guards can be seen carrying Walther P38s as their sidearms, one of which Bond also manages to commandeer before having to hand it back over to Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman).
== Smith & Wesson Model 36 ==
One of Goldfinger's guards who sits next to Bond in his Aston Martin holds a Smith & Wesson Model 36 on him. In a continuity error, it later becomes a Walther P38.
== Smith & Wesson Model 22 ==
Pussy Galore (Honor Blackman) is seen holding a Smith & Wesson Model 22 while flying to the United States. Bond correctly identifies the revolver as a "Smith & Wesson .45" and adds that a bullet fired from the gun would pass through him and the plane.
== Colt Police Positive ==
One of Goldfinger's guards with Pussy Galore holds a Colt Police Positive on Bond.
== M1911A1 ==
Oddjob (Harold Sakata) uses a suppressed M1911A1 to kill Solo (Martin Benson) while driving him to the airport in the Lincoln. This pistol is also used by US Army soldiers.
== Colt Official Police ==
During the raid on Fort Knox, Auric Goldfinger (Gert Fröbe) can be seen carrying a Colt Official Police with a gold-plated finish and ivory grips while disguised as a U.S. Army colonel, even using it to shoot at Mr. Ling (Burt Kwouk). In the novel, Goldfinger uses a gold-plated Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket and killed his victims with one shot through the right eye.
 
=Submachine Guns=
== MP 40 ==
Goldfinger's guards carry MP 40s, using them in most major gunfights of the film, with even Goldfinger himself using one briefly during the Fort Knox raid. This gun is also tested on a bulletproof vest in Q's lab. The old lady working as a gatekeeper to Goldfinger's facility in Switzerland also carries an MP 40.
== M1928 Thompson ==
Some of the U.S. Army soldiers at Fort Knox attack Goldfinger and his men with older M1928 Thompsons with drum magazines and vertical foregrips. Note the switch from M14s (below, likely filmed in U.S.) to WWII-era Thompsons and M1 Carbines, most likely because the Fort Knox set was built in England and at the time (1964) M14s weren't readily available to UK armorers.
== M1928A1 Thompson ==
U.S. Army soldiers also carry M1928A1 Thompsons during the gunfight with Goldfinger's men at Fort Knox.

== Sterling Mk. IV ==
In a very brief shot during the storming of the Fort Knox vault, an American soldier is seen firing a British Sterling Mk. IV. Though the scene is brief, the weapon shown has at least two of the trademarks of the Sterling, including the horizontal magazine and the sling mount very close to the barrel. The interior scenes of the Fort Knox vault was filmed in England with access to British weapons.
=Rifles=
== ArmaLite AR-7 ==
Tilly Masterson (Tania Mallet) is seen twice using a scoped ArmaLite AR-7 rifle to try to shoot Goldfinger. The same model rifle was used by Bond in From Russia with Love.
==M14==
U.S. Army soldiers at Fort Knox were seen with M14s slung over their shoulders before Fort Knox was hit with fake knock-out gas by Pussy Galore's crew. This is one of the first appearances of the M14 in popular media, which at that time was still relatively recently adopted by the US military as their standard-issue rifle. 
== M1 Carbine ==
U.S. Army soldiers can be seen carrying M1 Carbines during the gas raid on Fort Knox. They are WWII Carbines judging by the darker wood walnut stock and lack of a bayonet lug.

== Karabiner 98k ==
Goldfinger's men carry Karabiner 98k rifles during their raid on Fort Knox.
==M1 Garand==
A number of U.S. Army soldiers are seen with M1 Garand rifles when they raid the gold depository at Fort Knox. 
=Machine guns=
== Browning M2 Aircraft== 
What appears to be a Browning M2 Aircraft mounted on a tripod is seen just outside the vault entrance in Fort Knox. The MG is never used on screen.
=Other=
== Aston Martin machine guns ==
Q tells Bond about the machine guns installed underneath the lights of his customized Aston Martin DB5, which Bond uses during a car chase at Goldfinger's factory in Geneva.

== Gun Barrel Opening Sequence ==
This film was the third and last in which Bond was played not by the main actor in the Gun Barrel sequence; again, band is portrayed by stuntman Bob Simmons. The sequence is slightly different from what was seen in Dr. No and From Russia with Love, but it utilized the same Smith & Wesson revolver barrel.
="The Guns of James Bond" Featurette=
A short clip originally shown on the BBC and later put into the ultimate edition DVD special features of Dr. No titled "The Guns of James Bond," shows Sean Connery on the set of Goldfinger along with Geoffrey Boothroyd, a Scottish firearms expert who collaborated with Ian Fleming during the novels and convinced Fleming to make the switch from the Beretta to the Walther PPK. As a token of appreciation, Fleming had Major Boothroyd or "Q" named after him.

An extra playing the role of a US soldier on the Fort Knox set can be seen with an M1 Carbine.
