The following guns were used in the television series Top Gear
Whilst nominally a motoring-magazine show, Top Gear has featured firearms as part of stunt tests for various cars, usually involving the British military.
Colt 25
Owned by one of the Miami used-car dealers in the US Roadtrip special.
Beretta 92FS
Smith & Wesson M&P
SIG-Sauer P229
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Walther P38
Sten
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Used by presenter Jeremy Clarkson during a "Car Biathlon" intended to test SUVs. Fitted with an M68 Aimpoint scope and flashlight in the forearm, he failed to hit any of the targets, but managed to hit a tree enough for it to fall over... somehow... Clarkson incorrectly called it a 'machine pistol'.
AR-15 Carbine
AKM
Seen used in a segment asking if the Communists ever produced a good car.
AK Variant
SA80
L85A2s are used by snipers from the Irish Guards to fire at a pair of Sports cars in an evasive driving stunt. The rifles are fitted with SUSATs, BFAs and MILES units. Clarkson refers to them as "the Mark Two version of the Army's SA80 rifle; which differs from the Mark One, because it works." Also used by commandos from the Royal Marines in a stunt involving using a Ford Fiesta in an amphibious assault. Another stunt involved the latest updated A2s with the Daniel Defence quad-rail foreguards and grip-pods used by British Troops from various regiments of the 7th Armoured Brigade in a game of "British Bulldog", shooting live rounds against Clarkson, who was trying to get from one side of the Royal Armoured Corps training centre at Bovington to the other (in one piece).
FN Minimi Para / L110A1
Seen used by Commandos from the Royal Marines during the Amphibious landing stunt.
L7 Machine Gun
Seen Mounted on a British Army Challenger II MBT that chased a Range Rover across a training ground, and on various landing craft during the amphibious assault stunt.
Browning M2
Seen mounted on various armoured vehicles used to play "British Bulldog" against a Mitsubishi Evo VIII. At least one was fitted with a SUSAT.
Paintball Guns
Used in the stretch limo epoisode when the presenters test their limousines' performances. While one presenter drives the limousine, the other two presenters must shoot the driver's limousine to see how many times their limousine is shot. When James May jumps out of the front half of his limousine to get to the steering wheel of the other half, Jeremy shoots at James' crotch.
- Tippmann 98 Custom
Ruger 10/22
Owned by one of the Miami used-car dealers in the US Roadtrip special.
MPi-KM-72
Carried by Zimbabwean Border Guards in the African Special.
