	Does anyone know the brand/model name of the Desert Eagle-styled paintball pistols that they use in a few episodes?		Does anyone know the brand/model name of the Desert Eagle-styled paintball pistols that they use in a few episodes?

			== Unknown .22 rifles ==
			The one that Adam is firing has me stumped. It's not a Marlin 25 like suggested because you would see the bolt protruding slightly out from the back of the stock. I don't know what it is. But the one Jamie is firing appears, judging by its lack of an exposed magazine, to be a [[Marlin Model 983]], though.

	:I believe there was more than 1 MacGyver episode. It's possible that the BAR was used by the other group to test an unrelated myth in a MacGyver episode? It's also possible that whoever added that bit about the BAR was simply mistaken. That was there before I redid the entire page. Also, thanks for filling in the gaps!!!
