Whilst nominally a motoring-magazine show, Top Gear has featured firearms as part of stunt tests for various cars, usually involving the British military.
The following weapons were used in the television series Top Gear:
Colt Junior
A Colt Junior is owned by one of the Miami used car dealers in the US Roadtrip special.
Beretta 92FS
Used by James May during the Eastern America road trip, to perform a drive-by shooting out of his Ferrari 458 Italia.
Smith & Wesson M&P
Used by Richard Hammond during the Eastern America road trip, to perform a drive-by shooting out of his Porsche 911 GT3 RS.
SIG-Sauer P229
During the Eastern America road trip, Jeremy Clarkson is seen using a SIG-Sauer P229 in the training session before the drive-by shooting challenge.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
One of the bad guys in the fake Interceptors intro from 17x05 is seen holding a Smith & Wesson Model 36 on Hammond while he drives.
Walther P38
Clarkson carries a Walther P38 as his sidearm in the mock Interceptors intro.
Remington 870
A Remington 870 with black synthetic furniture is given to Jeremy and James for the Polar special as protection from polar bears.
Sten
James May is shown using a Sten gun during the Interceptors intro to kill a baddie.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Used by Jeremy Clarkson during a "Car Biathlon" intended to test SUVs. Fitted with an Aimpoint CompM2 scope and flashlight in the forearm, he failed to hit any of the targets, but managed to hit a tree enough for it to fall over ... somehow ... Clarkson incorrectly called it a 'machine pistol' - this may be because sub machineguns are called machine pistols in many northern European languages ("maschinenpistole" in German, thus the "MP" in "MP5", and "kulsprutepistol" in Swedish). As this MP5 was probably borrowed from the Norwegian police or military, the Norwegians may well have referred to it as a machine pistol.
AR-15 Carbine

Another stunt involved the latest updated A2s with the Daniel Defense quad-rail foreguards and grip-pods used by British Troops from various regiments of the 7th Armoured Brigade in a game of "British Bulldog", shooting (allegedly) live rounds against Clarkson, who was trying to get from one side of the Royal Armoured Corps training centre at Bovington to the other (in one piece).
