MacGyver is an action series that aired on ABC from 1985-1992 and starred Richard Dean Anderson as a government troubleshooter who uses his wits as well as everyday items to get himself out of precarious situations. The show was also notable for the main character's aversion to guns, which was attributed to a tragic childhood accident. While the character never was seen firing guns (save for the pilot episode), that didn't preclude him from using them in a non-lethal manner.
The following weapons were used in the television series MacGyver:

In Season 1's "Flame's End", MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) takes the frame of a Smith & Wesson Model 28 to remove a bolt from a leaking pipe.
Heckler & Koch P9S
The Heckler & Koch P9S is used by several characters in the series, notably in Season 1's "Last Stand" and "To Be A Man".
Beretta 92F
The Beretta 92F is used throughout the series, notably by MacGyver in Season 2's "D.O.A.", when his amnesia prevents him from remembering that he detests handling guns.
Rifles
M16A1
The M16A1 rifle is used by several characters throughout the series.
AKM
AKMs are used by several of MacGyver's adversaries throughout the series.
Lee-Enfield No.1 MkIII*

Other
