A possible continuity error occurs in Episode 4 when Pecos ([[George Barrows]]) uses a revolver resembling a [[Remington 1858 New Army]], rather than his Single Action Army "Artillery" model.

F Troop is a satirical comedy set in the American West and involving the personnel of F Troop, stationed at the fictional Fort Courage; the Hekawi, a peaceful tribe of Native Americans residing in a nearby village; and occassionally the Shug, an antagonistic tribe of Native Americans. Slapstick comedy is on display in most episodes, with the principal cast performing many of their own stunts. The show is set some time near or after the end of the American Civil War. Great liberties with the timeline are taken by the show's writers; in one episode, Abraham Lincoln is still the President (1865), while in another episode, General Custer has recently lost the Battle of the Little Bighorn (1876). Regardless, many of the firearms used in the show are anachronistic.
The following weapons were used in Season 2 of the television series F Troop:
A possible continuity error occurs in Episode 4 when Pecos (George Barrows) uses a revolver resembling a Remington 1858 New Army, rather than his Single Action Army "Artillery" model. In a fantasy sequence in Episode 27, a Remington 1858 New Army is mounted on the wall of the Parmenter home.
Mrs. Molly Walker (Pippa Scott) and Sgt. O'Rourke are seen with a Winchester Model 1892 carbine. A rifle rack in Capt. Parmenter's quarters holds a Winchester Model 1892 Carbine. Three lever action rifles resembling the Winchester Model 1892 carbine are seen in a gun rack in the office of Sheriff Big Jim Parker.
Sgt. O'Rourke and stagecoach guards are seen with 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotguns. A double barreled shotgun is also seen in a gun rack in the office of Sheriff Big Jim Parker.
A prop cannon is seen in Fort Courage throughout Season 2. It appears to be a prop due to the unusual barrel profile, lack of sights, lack of a knob on the cascabel, and the unusual, possibly nonfunctional elevating hardware.
