Unidentified This article currently has one or more unidentified weapons. |
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".
Colt Gold Cup National Match (custom)
In "Boomerang Bullet" (S07E24), a Colt Gold Cup National Match pistol is used to see if a bullet can ricochet back and hit the shooter.
In Wheel of Mythfortune (S9E21), both Adam and Jamie both use the same Colt Gold Cup National Match to test whether action movie shooting stances actually work. Jamie describes it as a "very common gun worldwide."
In "Hollywood Gunslingers" (S10E12), when retesting the ability to dual fire pistols, Adam and Jamie again use two different Colt Gold Cup National Match.

CornerShot with Modified Glock
In "Myth Evolution" (S07E18), the CornerShot is used to test the effectiveness of shooting around a corner.

Flintlock Pistol
In "Paper Armor" (S09E12), Kari, Grant and Tori use a Flintlock Pistol to test how durable their paper armor is. The expert states that it is a French gun from about 1750.

Glock 19
In "Hollywood Gunslingers" (S10E12), when testing whether a nail gun could be used as a regular gun, Tori uses a Glock 19 for the control test.
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.
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.
Glock 35
In "Mission Impossible Mask" (S09E01), during the introduction for the test to see if you can start a merry-go-round spinning by shooting at it as shown in Shoot 'Em Up Kari brandishes a Glock 35 fitted with target sights, despite the fact a Glock 17 is the gun that is used for the actual test.
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.
Modified Glock
In "Myth Evolution" (S07E18), the Mythbusters use a Glock that has been modified to fire special gel markers.
SIG-Sauer P226

In "Mega Movie Myths" (S04E19), Grant, Tori and Kari use the SIG-Sauer P239 to see if shooting a lock allows it to be opened.
In "Myth Revolution" (S05E18), Grant, Tori and Kari use the SIG-Sauer P239 to see if a ninja can slap a bullet away.
In "Shooting Fish in a Barrel" (S05E22), Adam and Jamie use the SIG-Sauer P239 to test how easy it really is to shoot fish in a barrel.
In "Coffin Punch" (S06E19), Adam and Jamie use the P239 to test what is bulletproof.
In "Inverted Underwater Car" (S08E19), Grant , Tori and Kari use the SIG-Sauer P239 to test whether shooting through milk will prevent the muzzle flash of a gun from igniting a room full of gas. This is based on the movie Kiss The Girls where Morgan Freeman's character does just that.
In "Spy Car 2" (S09E07), Tori is seen holding the SIG-Sauer P239 when preparing for the myth that a bullet fired into ice will spin like a top. For the actual testing of the myth, they used a Glock.
Smith & Wesson SW99
In "James Bond Special Part 1" (S06E01), Kari uses the Smith & Wesson SW99 to attempt to blow up a propane tank a la James Bond. Note that James Bond's pistol is the Walther P99, not its licensed clone.

In "Mission Impossible Mask" (S09E01), Kari uses a different Springfield Armory Loaded 1911 to test if you can start a merry-go-round spinning by shooting at it as shown in Shoot 'Em Up.
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.
Unknown 1911
The Mythbusters often use a variety of 1911 pistols. The ones listed here are ones that I have not been able to positively identify.
- An unknown 1911 pistol, chambered in .45 is used in "Dive to Survive" (S08E03) to test whether a phone books make a car bulletproof.
- In "Blow Your Own Sail" (S09E06), Adam uses an unknown, suppressed 1911 to test whether silenced pistols really sound like they do in the movies.
Smith & Wesson 39
A Smith & Wesson 39 is used in the episode "Dive to Survive" (S08E03) in the scene where the crew shoot the phonebook-stuffed car door with a variety of weapons in order to test if it is bulletproof or not. It is referred to as a "9mm".

In "Exploding Lighter" (S04E23), the Colt King Cobra is used to shoot a hole through a silver dollar.
Colt Police Positive
In "Firearms Folklore" (S04E25), Adam and Jamie use a Colt Police Positive while testing the myth that a bullet fired from a Glock lodged backwards in the cylinder of a revolver.
In "Unarmed and Unharmed" (S07E21), Adam and Jamie use a Colt Police Positive to test whether you can shoot a gun out of someones hand without injuring them.
Colt Single Action Army

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.
Smith & Wesson Model 460
The Smith & Wesson Model 460 is used in "Thermite vs. Ice" (S07E08) to test whether holding a hunting revolver improperly will amputate (or injure) the shooter's thumb.
