Politics & IMFDB

May I ask why we are giving a page to one of the most anti gun shows in history?

Because this is not a political site. The political stance of a movie on gun use do not concern us; indeed, given how anti-gun Hollywood tends to be, this site would probably not exist at all if politics factored in. -MT2008 13:53, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Maybe a disclaimer that we dissaprove of the shows message would be good like was done on the page Redacted.

the show was idioticly anti gun, but

Was there an ongoing overt political message? I didn't watch the show on a regular basis, I thought it was really stupid, but I did watch the series finale and the entire thing with idiot boy MacGyver taking out a bad guy, kicking away the gun but not taking it or throwing it into a lake or something and then having the guy get up and shoot MacGyver's friends was inexcusable in its stupidity. If there was ALWAYS an on going 'message' about how guns were evil, then we 'could' put up a disclaimer, but I don't think it was that obvious to the casual viewer. As per myself, I always thought of it as trying to force the show to come up with weird and nonstandard solutions to problems. Richard Dean Anderson DID use tons of guns later in Stargate SG1 and he used them correctly! (i.e. when he shot bad guys, he shoots to kill). MoviePropMaster2008 16:52, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

If I remember correctly he handled them well too. I remember he had good trigger discipline in at least one episode because I remember his finger being rested on the trigger guard on an MP5 in at least one scene on a Goa'uld mothership. --cool-breeze 19:31, 11 July 2011 (CDT)

Richard Dean Anderson

The reason for all the anti-gun BS is Richard Dean Anderson. This jackass is on the board of directors of "Handgun Control, Inc" and insisted after the pilot that his character never use a gun.

Hi Mr Anon first, sign your posts! Second, get your facts straight. The series was originally developed with the character not using guns because they wanted to create a character who would use his mind to get out of situations instead of just shooting someone. They wanted something different than the tons of other spy shows that were out there and MacGyver delivered. The series wasn't anti gun, anything that went on behind the scenes doesn't matter when it comes to the actual show. --cool-breeze 05:30, 27 June 2011 (CDT)

Politics and the movie/television Industry

I agree with MT2008. Everyone knows that Hollywood (and probably many of the other movie folks in other countries) tend to be rather knee jerk in their left leaning politics. Especially when it comes to firearms. But IMFDB is about firearms in movies,television etc. If we used political beliefs as the criteria most of the actor pages that I've created over the past two years would be gone. The fact of the matter is that MacGyver was on television for many years and firearms were used. Yes in the real world MacGyver would be dead. But then so would James Bond and all of the heroic characters that Bruce Willis has played over the years.

For the record, Bruce Willis is a proud gun owner and gun rights supporder

The discussion page is for just that. We need to keep the actual page free of political content. IMFDB is a reference site. Not an extension of the NRA or GOA. And I am a card carrying member of the NRA incidentally. --Jcordell 03:12, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

We did the disclaimer on the Redacted page because we have tons of veterans (who deserve our respect) who were truly offended by that movie. It was a rare instance, and in only rare and outrageous instances will we do that. MacGyver is idiotic, but seriously, the politics were only really present behind the scenes, not on the screen. MoviePropMaster2008 03:52, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Well, I watched the show growing up, the only reason MacGyver doesn't use a gun was due to his tramatic childhood of accidently shooting one of his best friends. Many of MacGyver's close friends and allies (many are government agents or police officers) used guns and MacGyver never make any objection. Only when civilians without training picked up guns dropped by the bad guys when MacGyver stopped them.--Wildcards 19:06, 11 July 2011 (CDT)

Valmet M71S

That second picture with the pilot firing the weapon. Maybe it's me but the thing looks like an AK series weapon (maybe a Type 56) rather than the Valmet. --Charon68 (talk) 19:38, 1 February 2017 (EST)

+==M1911A1==
+The [[M1911A1]] has a high volume of appearances through-out the series.

+==Custom M1911==
+Appears in "Strictly Business" (S6E19), it is Murdoc's ([[Michael Des Barres]]) main carry pistol through-out the episode. This [[M1911]] is distinguishable with chrome finish, black controls (slide stop and safety), black spur hammer, brown/wood grips with emblem, slightly angular trigger guard, harsh angular slide top and slightly protruding barrel.
+It first appears in the beggining sequence when Murdoc goes to a hearing with HIT top executives. Though first he is asked to remove all weapons and Murdoc lays the M1911 on the hood of his car. He uses the gun again at MacGyver's houseboat. He first keeps it in his holster and takes it out when Mac gets out of the trap. After blowing up Mac's rental car with [[FIM-43 Redeye]], Murdoc chases Mac to the forest with the M1911 at hand. He later is seen screwing a suppressor on to it in order to shoot a lock and enter a cabin without alarming Suzanne Walker. He withdraws when he hears the little girl using a secret entrance to cabin. Once he manages to get alone with MacGyver, he has a camera setup where the pull of the M1911's trigger will activate the camera and take a photo of MacGyver's death. After foiled by distraction by Amy and chairshot from MacGyver, Murdoc fires at the two of them. He is last seen with the pistol holding Suzanne Walker hostage with it.

+[[Taurus PT92AFS]] has multiple appearances. The Taurus was a pistol more readily available to Canadian armorers, so when the production moved to Vancouver in later seasons, it became the gun of choice for most villains and their underlings during seasons 4-7, taking over H&K P9S's duty from season 1-3.

She encounters Murdoc whom she sees shooting at Amy and MacGyver. She confronts Murdoc and attempts to shoot him. However, Murdoc had removed the shells out of the gun prior and she was in too much of rush to notice. With Suzanne taken hostage, Amy grabs the shotgun but is stopped by amnesiac MacGyver, who takes the gun for himself. MacGyver finds Murdoc in the mineshaft with tripwires between the two. The amnesiac MacGyver attempts to shoot Murdoc, but can't. He then unloads the shotgun uses it for a MacGyverism to get through the tripwires.

+==M72 LAW==
+Makes an appearance in the flashback sequence of the episode "Partners" (S2E18). As Murdoc leads MacGyver and Pete Thornton to a ambush, two goons under Murdoc's command with [[M72 LAW]] launchers force Mac and Pete to stop for Murdoc's elaborate machinations.

+[[Image:MacGyverS2E18M72goons.jpg|thumb|none|450px|S2E18 - two goons with M72 LAW launchers]]
+==M9 Flamethrower (w/ M2 Wand)==
+[[M9 Flamethrower]] with M2 wand appears appears in the episode '''"Widowmaker" (S3E8).''' It is wielded by Murdoc ([[Michael Des Barres]]) who launches an all-out attack on MacGyver and Nikki Carpenter when they are talking their problems at a forest cabin near the Widowmaker mountain. Murdoc breaks in the cabin and attacks MacGyver and Nikki, engulfing the entire cabin in flames and burning it down. MacGyver and Nikki manage to escape by using a thick mattress to block the flames/liquid fuel. When MacGyver and Nikki set off Murdoc's booby-trap on Nikki's SUV, Murdoc goes to investigate. MacGyver disables the flamethrower by perforating the propellent tanks with a makeshift arc-welder, causing it to catch on fire and forcing Murdoc to abandon it as the propellent tanks explode.
+The scene with Murdoc attacking the cabin with the flamethrower is reused in multiple flashbacks and slideshow episodes, including "Strictly Business" (S6E19)

+[[Image:MacGyverS3E8FlameThr3.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Murdoc with his M9 Flamethrower is all glee, seeing that his SUV booby-trap went off. The M2 wand is nicely visible here.]]
+==M67 Hand Grenade==
+[[M67 hand grenade]] has multiple appearances
+* '''"Halloween Knights" (S5E06)''' - When Macgyver is trying to figure out how to bypass the finger-print detector, Murdoc ([[Michael Des Barres]]) humors Mac by offering to blow it up with a M67 grenade. Murdoc later uses a one in Death Row, having spared it for a special occassion.
+* '''"Strictly Business" (S6E19)''' - When Murdoc sets off a metal detector at HIT hearing early in the episode, he told to remove the rest of his hidden weapons. Amongst the weapons, he put off two M67 grenades to the platform.
+[[Image:M67.jpg|thumb|none|250px|M69 training grenade - an inert version of the M67 High-Explosive Fragmentation hand grenade.  The real live version has a more brownish color and has painted factory markings on the body.]]
+[[Image:MacGyverS5E06MurdocGrenade1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Murdoc: ''"Maybe this will open it"''<BR> '''S5E06''' - Murdoc pulls out a M67 grenade while Mac is trying to figure out how to open a high-security door.]]

+==FIM-43 Redeye==
+Appears in '''"Strictly Business" (S6E19)'''. As MacGyver is travelling on road to wilderness by car, Murdoc ([[Michael Des Barres]]) ambushes him by using his pick-up truck as a road-block and armed with a FIM-43 that's decked with additional parts. Murdoc fires the launcher and blows up MacGyver's car and badly injures him.
+This FIM-43 is decked out with an additional see-thru plastic blast shield in front and oversized pear seal in rear. It could be that these parts were added to protect the actor [[Michael Des Barres]] from the pyrotechnics of the prop. It could also be to make the rocket launcher more unique looking.
