Nice, but where's the trigger?

This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it.

The following guns were used in the television show Mythbusters. Since many Mythbusters episodes features guns, this list is far from complete.

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.

PLEASE SUMMARIZE YOUR EDITS!

Mythbusters (2003-Present)

Handguns

Colt 1860 Army

A Colt 1860 Army is used in "Western Myths" (S05E10) to test the myth that you can shoot a cowboy's hat off.

Colt Gold Cup National Match (custom)

A Colt Gold Cup National Match pistol is used in "Boomerang Bullet" (S07E24) to see if a bullet can ricochet back and hit the shooter.
Both Adam and Jamie both use the same Colt Gold Cup National Match in Wheel of Mythfortune (S9E21) to test whether action movie shooting stances actually work. Jamie describes it as a "very common gun worldwide."

Colt Police Positive

Adam and Jamie use a Colt Police Positive in "Unarmed and Unharmed" (S07E21) to test whether you can shoot a gun out of someones hand without injuring them. A Colt Police Positive was on the receiving end of the "Reversed Bullet" myth, in which they ruined a perfectly good revolver by shooting it. The crew claimed the 9mm bullet was larger than the .38 caliber chamber, yet the two bullets are virtually identical in diameter normally. However, all bullets expand slightly after being fired. Therefore, the discharged 9mm round may have been just slightly larger than the revolver cylinder.

Colt Single Action Army

Adam and Jamie use a Colt Single Action Army in "Unarmed and Unharmed" (S07E21) to test whether you can shoot a gun out of someones hand without injuring them.
In "Paper Armor" (S09E12), Kari, Grant and Tori use a Colt Single Action Army to test their paper made armor.

To test the myth of whether a hat could be shot off someones head, they used a Colt Single Action Army with a nickel finish. They also used one to test whether a silver bullet was more effective than lead. (Both proved "busted")

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.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
A view of the Flintlock. (S09E12)

Glock 17

Tori, Grant and Kari use a 3rd Generation Glock 17 in "Mission Impossible Mask" (S09E01) to test if you can start a merry-go-round spinning by shooting at it as shown in Shoot 'Em Up.
Tori, Grant and Kari use a 2nd Generation Glock 17 with custom sights in "Spy Car 2" (S09E07) to test the myth that if you shoot a bullet into ice it will spin like a top.

Glock 23

The Glock 23 is used it "Mini Myth Mayhem" (S08E17) to test weather a hair weave is bulletproof. Unsurprisingly, it is most definitely not. It is also used, int he same episode, to test whether a refrigerator door is bullet proof. The Glock 23 is also used in "Inverted Underwater Car" (S08E19) to test whether the muzzle flash from a gun can ignite a room full of gas. To test the "reversed bullet" myth in which a criminal fired his handgun at a police officer and the bullet lodged backwards in his service revolver, the Adam and Jamie hooked up a Glock 23 to a rig and fired it at the revolver, impressed that the round did in fact lodge in the cylinder. One was also shot by Adam at several police badges to test and see if any were bullet proof, as well as a few other items for the same test. (THIS MIGHT BE A G22, Not sure)

Heckler & Koch USP Tactical

The Heckler & Koch USP Tactical is shown in "Blow Your Own Sail" (S09E06) when testing the myth of Hollywood sound effects, testing a .45 ACP pistol un-suppressed. Oddly, they ended up switching to a different, unknown 45 for the test.

SIG Pro SP2009

Adam was seen holding what was stated as the actual rubber prop gun that was used in "The Bourne Identity" in "Bourne Magazine".

SIG-Sauer P226

In "Inverted Underwater Car" (S08E19) the SIG-Sauer P226 can be seen in a clip from Kiss The Girls where Morgan Freeman's character uses the gun. Adam and Jamie use the SIG-Sauer P226 in "Blow Your Own Sail" (S09E06) to test the myth of Hollywood sound effects, testing a 9mm pistol suppressed and un-suppressed. It is a newer P226R model with a tan accents. It may be a P226 Combat. In the HD broadcast the "P226" marking on the handle can be seen as Adam prepares to fire.

SIG-Sauer P239

In "Shredded Plane" (S04E02), Grant, Tori and Kari use the SIG-Sauer P239 to attempt to start a fire with a gun. They remove the bullet from the round and attempt to use the firing cap to ignite gunpowder.
In "Bullets Fired Up" (S04E07), Jamie and Adam use the SIG-Sauer P239 to test the myth that bullets fired upward can kill on their return trip.
In "Myths Reopened" (S04E08), Grant, Tori and Kari use the SIG-Sauer P239 to test whether you can fire a gun underwater. Amazingly it does fire, it does not however reload correctly.
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 "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.

Springfield Armory Loaded 1911

In "Curving Bullets" (S07E10) Tori, Grant and Keri use a Springfield Armory Loaded 1911 to test the the technique of curving a bullet demonstrated in the movie Wanted.
The gun is again used by Adam and Jamie in "Knock Your Socks Off" (S07E12) to test whether a bullet droped and one fired horizontally hit the ground at the same time.
The Springfield Armory Loaded 1911 makes another appearance in "Mini Myth Mayhem" (S07E23) where they successfully use it to light a match with a bullet.
In "James Bond Special Part 1" (S06E01), Jamie and Adam use a different Springfield Armory 1911 to test whether James Bond's watch could actually deflect a bullet.

Walther P22

Adam uses an Walther P22 with a threaded barrel in "Blow Your Own Sail" (S09E06) to test the myth of Hollywood sound effects. Hilariously, it is referred to as a .45 caliber rather than the correct .22 caliber (which is MUCH smaller than a .45 and used for target shooting rather than defense) 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.

Shotguns

10 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun

An antique 10 Gauge, double barreled shotgun is used in "More Myths Revisted" (S05E06) to re-test the myth that if you plug the barrel of a gun with your finger, it will explode. They used an antique that was made in 1877 using the old Damascus technique of heating narrow strips of metal then shaping them around a mandrel. The theory was that this older, and definitely weaker barrel might fail when the barrel was plugged.

Rifles

Carcano Carbine

In "Shredded Plane" (S04E02), Tori uses a Caracano Carbine firing a modified round to attempt to start a fire. He removes the bullet and using a piece of cloth to compact the pouder in the shell. The theory was that the cloth would catch fire and then ignite their 'campfire'.

A Carcano Carbine (model 91 cavalry carbine) is used during the first tests of firing through the scope, in which the bolt is removed and the tests scopes are mounted on. also to test the Ice bullet myth.

M1 Garand

In "Bullets Fired Up" (S04E07), Adam and Jamie use the M1 Garand to test the myth that bullets shot upward call kill when they fall. In this episode, the announcer mistakenly referred to it as the '30.06 assault rifle.

In "James Bond Special Part 1" (S06E01), Kari, Grant and Tori use the M1 Garand to try and blow up a propane tank.
The Mythbusters use the M1 Garand in "Dive to Survive" (S08E03) to do a shop test to see how many phonebooks it would take to stop a "high powered" bullet. The narrator mistaking refers to rifle as a M14 and there is also a continuity error as the Mythbusters had been using the M14 earlier in the episode. In the end, for some unknown reason, they end up switching to the M1 Garand.

Remington 700

In one episode, to test the "Shooting through the scope" myth, Adam and Jamie, along with the range owner, tested shooting thought the scope with a .308 caliber Remington 700. If they really wanted to test it properly, they would have used a Winchester Model 70 .30-06 rifle, and would have known that both scopes must be perfectly aligned for the project to work. Also, Hathcock was much closer to his target, while they tested it at 100 yards and inaccurately at point blank. It was retested with a .30-06 later.

Hathcock said in his own words that he shot through a RIFLE scope, and pondered that if he had waited another second, the other sniper would have likely done the same to him, since to shoot through the scope requires both scopes to be aimed dead on to each other.
