==Glock 22==
In "Coffin Punch" (S06E19), Adam uses a [[Glock 22]] to test to see if police badges can stop bullets. When Jamie explains the original myth, he said that a police badge stopped a .40 caliber bullet. Although dialogue is not totally reliable, the audience actually sees one of the slugs stuck in one of the badges.

==Glock 23==
In "Mini Myth Mayhem" (S08E17), the [[Glock 23]] is used, to test weather a hair weave is bulletproof. Unsurprisingly, it is most definitely not. It is also used, in the same episode, to test whether a refrigerator door is bullet proof.<br/> In "Inverted Underwater Car" (S08E19), the [[Glock 23]] is used to test whether the muzzle flash from a gun can ignite a room full of gas, as seen in ''[[Mr. & Mrs. Smith]]''.

==Heckler & Koch USP Tactical==
In "Blow Your Own Sail" (S09E06), the [[Heckler & Koch USP Tactical]] is shown when testing the myth of Hollywood sound effects, testing a .45 ACP pistol un-suppressed. Oddly, the footage of the USP being fired was never shown. Instead, footage of a Walther P22 was shown, labeled incorrectly as a .45.
[[Image:Hk-usp45tac.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Heckler & Koch USP Tactical - .45 ACP]]

==Smith & Wesson Model 29==
In "Paper Armor" (S09E12), Adam uses a [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]] to conduct underwater shock wave tests. It has been heavily modified by removing the rear sight(the square cut out for the sights is visible on the top corner of the frame), shortening the barrel and attaching a vertical tube to the muzzle. The gun fires blanks which send a shock wave both up and down.

==10 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun==
In "More Myths Revisited" (S05E06), an antique [[10 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun]] is used to re-test the myth that if you plug the barrel of a gun with your finger, it will explode. They used an antique that was made in 1877 using the old Damascus technique of heating narrow strips of metal then shaping them around a mandrel. The theory was that this older, and definitely weaker barrel might fail when the barrel was plugged.

[[image:MB-19gauge-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|While it didn't do a full banana-peel as the myth called for, the barrel still failed pretty badly. (S05E06)]]


==12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun==
==12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun==
*When using a .45 Long Colt revolver proved ineffective at knocking a hat off a head, they attempted to shoot the hat off using a 12 gauge double barreled coach gun with exposed hammers, which still proved ineffective.
In "Myths Reopened" (S04E08), Grant, Tori and Kari use a [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun]] to test the lethality of firing a gun underwater. Turns out that a shotgun explodes when fired underwater.<br/>
In "Western Myths" (S05E10), a [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun]] is used to test the myth that you can shoot a cowboy's hat off.

If they really wanted to test it properly, they would have used a Winchester Model 70 .30-06 rifle, and would have known that both scopes must be perfectly aligned for the project to work. Also, Hathcock was much closer to his target, while they tested it at 100 yards and inaccurately at point blank. It was retested with a .30-06 later.
In "Coffin Punch" (S06E19), Jamie uses an [[M4A1 Carbine]] to test if bathroom tiles covered in fiber-reinforced gypsum cement is bulletproof in. It has a C-more CTAC red-dot sight and an ACE ARFX stock.  
:Hathcock said in his own words that he shot through a RIFLE scope, and pondered that if he had waited another second, the other sniper would have likely done the same to him, since to shoot through the scope requires both scopes to be aimed dead on to each other.

==[[Smith & Wesson SW99]]==
==M16A2==
* Season 6, episode 1 "James Bond Special 1": Kari tries to pierce a propane tank with a [[Smith & Wesson SW99]] - and fails. They misidentify it as a Walther, the model the SW99 is based upon.  
In "Hollywood Gunslingers" (S10E12), while testing the myth of "unlimited ammo", Grant is seen firing an [[M16A2]] with a Magpul PMag magazine.<br>

==[[Heckler & Koch MP5A4]]==
=Rifles=
* In the episode where they try to cause avalanches by various different methods, one of the attempts was made (A failed attempt at that) using an [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A4|Heckler & Koch MP5A4]] with a full stock, and surefire flashlight handguards. Also it was used in "shooting through the floor"
[[Image:H&KMP5A4.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch MP5A4 - 9x19mm]]

In "Shredded Plane" (S04E02), Tori uses a [[Carcano Carbine]] firing a modified round to attempt to start a fire. He removes the bullet and using a piece of cloth to compact the powder in the shell. The theory was that the cloth would catch fire and then ignite their 'campfire'. <br/>
In "Firearms Folklore" (S04E25), a [[Carcano Carbine]] is used to test the myth from the Vietnam War of a sniper shooting through another sniper's scope. <br/>
[[Image:CarcanoM38CavCarbine.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Carcano Cavalry Carbine - 6.5x52mm]]

* A .22 rifle is used to test a bulletproof shield. One .22 LR round pierced the shield, to the cast's surprise, and horror.
==Enfield Pattern 1853==
An [[Enfield Pattern 1853]] rifled musket is used to test whether Davy Crockett could actually split a bullet on an axe head in "Swimming With Syrup" (S07E05). This choice of rifle is anachronistic, not entering service until 17 years after Davy Crockett's death at The Alamo in 1836.
[[File:1853enfield.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Enfield Pattern 1853 - .58 inch]]
[[File:MB-Musket.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The rifle is described by the expert as a ".58 Caliber."]]


==[[Glock 22]]==
==Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM 16==
* To test the "reversed bullet" myth in which a criminal fired his handgun at a police officer and the bullet lodged backwards in his service revolver, the Adam and Jamie hooked up a [[Glock#Glock 22|Glock 22]] to a rig and fired it at the revolver, impressed that the round did in fact lodge in the cylinder. One was also shot by Adam at several police badges to test and see if any were bullet proof, as well as a few other items for the same test.
In "James Bond Special Part 1" (S06E01), Tori uses a [[Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM 16]] with tracer rounds to shoot at a propane tank.

[[Image:MB-M1Carbine.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Kari shows of the M1 Carbine. (S03E14)]]


==[[Colt Police Positive]]==
==M1 Garand==
* A [[Colt Police Positive]] was on the receiving end of the "reversed bullet" myth, in which they ruined a perfectly good revolver by shooting it. The crew claimed the 9mm bullet was larger than the .38 caliber chamber, yet 9mm and .38 are both .38 caliber in diameter.
The [[M1 Garand]] is another favorite of the show and is often used when a higher caliber is needed. <br/>
::The two bullets are virtually identical in diameter normally, however all bullets expand slightly after being fired. Therefore, the discharged 9mm round may have been just slightly larger than the revolver cylinder.
In "Bulletproof Water" (S03E10), Jamie uses the [[M1 Garand]] when testing if water is bulletproof. <br/>
The bullets used in a 9mm is .355 inch in diameter , a .38 is .357 inch.
In "MythBusters Revisited" (S03E14), Grant is seen using the [[M1 Garand]] to attempt to blow up a gas tank.
However, the Glock model 22 does not fire 9mm rounds without modifying the pistol. It fires .40 caliber, which is, in fact, larger than .38 caliber, even before expansion from firing.  
In "Jaws Special" (S03E17), Adam and Jamie use the [[M1 Garand]] to try to blow up a scuba tank as seen in [[Jaws]].<br/>
[[Image:PolicePositive.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt Police Positive - .38 Special]]
In "Bullets Fired Up" (S04E07), Adam and Jamie use the [[M1 Garand]] to test the myth that bullets shot upward call kill when they fall. In this episode, the announcer mistakenly referred to it as the '30.06 assault rifle.<br/>
In "Myths Reopened" (S04E08), Grant, Tori and Kari use an [[M1 Garand]] to test the lethality of a bullet fired underwater.<br/>

In "More Myths Revisited" (S05E06), Adam and Jamie use an [[M1 Garand]] to reattempt the myth from the Vietnam war that a sniper killed his Vietcong counterpart by shooting him through his scope.<br/>
In "James Bond Special Part 1" (S06E01), Kari, Grant and Tori use the [[M1 Garand]] to try and blow up a propane tank.<br/>
In "Dive to Survive" (S08E03), the Mythbusters use the [[M1 Garand]] to do a shop test to see how many phonebooks it would take to stop a "high powered" bullet. The narrator mistaking refers to rifle as a [[M14]] and there is also a continuity error as the Mythbusters had been using the [[M14]] earlier in the episode. In the end, for some unknown reason, they end up switching to the M1 Garand. <br/>
In "Hollywood Gunslingers" (S10E12), when testing myth of silver bullets and bullets with engravings, Grant is seen holding the [[M1 Garand]]. In the end he has a trained marksman perform the actual test.<br>


==[[Remington 870]]==
* Jamie tested to see if a box full of pepperoni pizzas could stop different types of shotgun rounds using a [[Remington 870]] with a peep sight. He also used it to shoot his custom bullet proof vest, in which the slug round left a gaping hole in it.

==[[Smith & Wesson Model 19/66]]==
==SVD Dragunov==
Referred as a .357 in most of the gun tests.
Adam is seen holding the [[SVD Dragunov]] in "Dodge a Bullet" (S09E08). Given California gun laws and that the weapon was only used for a one-off scene where no shots were fired, it's possible this was an airsoft replica.


==Smoke Grenade==

==[[SIG Sauer P226]]==
=Other=
The [[SIG-Sauer P226]] is used in the episode "Blow Your Own Sail" (5/11/2011) to test the myth of Hollywood sound effects, testing a 9mm pistol suppressed and un-suppressed. It is a newer P226R model with a tan accents. It may be a P226 Combat. In the HD broadcast the "P226" marking on the handle can be seen as Adam prepares to fire.


==[[Heckler & Koch USP Tactical]]==
==Advanced M26 Taser==
The [[Heckler & Koch USP Tactical]] is used in the episode "Blow Your Own Sail" (5/11/2011) to test the myth of Hollywood sound effects, testing a .45 ACP pistol un-suppressed. In the HD broadcast the "USP Tactical" stamping on the slide can easily be seen. Oddly after using the USP Tactical, which has a threaded barrel extension for a suppressor, they switch to an M1911 based design that had a suppressor already attached that was on the table at the gun range.
Adam and Jaimie use the [[Taser#Advanced_Taser_M26|Advanced M26 Taser]] in "Fireball Stun Gun" (S08E10) to test whether pepper spray + taser = giant fire ball.

Unidentified

This article currently has one or more unidentified weapons.
If you can help identify any of the weapons labelled "unknown," please do so.

NOTE: On occasion Mythbusters shows clips from movies pertaining to the myth they are trying to replicate. Sometimes those clips contain guns. I am NOT including those clips here. If you want to check those guns, look on the page for the particular movie that they mentioned.

The following guns were used in the television show Mythbusters.

Handguns

Beretta 92F

In "Hollywood Gunslingers" (S10E12), when talking about quick-draws, Tori is seen with a Beretta 92F. Note that you can see "92F" stamped on the slide so its not a "92FS".

Walther P22

In "Blow Your Own Sail" (S09E06), Adam uses an Walther P22 with a threaded barrel to test the myth of Hollywood sound effects. Hilariously, it is referred to as a .45 caliber rather than the correct .22 caliber in the graphics.

Shotguns

10 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun

In "More Myths Revisited" (S05E06), an antique 10 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun is used to re-test the myth that if you plug the barrel of a gun with your finger, it will explode.
