He also demonstrates a rarely-seen accessory of the B.A.R.; a 'cup' that attached to the soldier's belt that the butt of the weapon would sit in, allowing the soldier to fire the weapon from the hip while advancing, a practice called "marching fire".

Norinco Type 56

Remington 1858 "Cattleman's Carbine"

Henry 1860
The Henry 1860 repeating rifle was shown in the Rifle episode first as the superior in rate of fire and magazine capacity compared to the Spencer.
Spencer 1860
The Spencer 1860 Carbine was the next repeating rifle to be introduced in the Rifle episode. It had only 7 rounds and needs to be loaded from the butt end of the rifle and had to be cocked and recocked before firing, making it slower than the Henry.

M1 Garand
Gunny took out his M1 Garand to win the contest since he wasn't doing so well with the Springfield.

Gunny used a Winchester 1886 rifle to compete with the reliability of the shotgun in the Shotgun episode and also in the ammo episode.
Springfield Trapdoor
Gunny used a Springfield Trapdoor to test out one of the first centerfire cartridge rounds in history.
M14
Gunny tested 3 types of ammo with the M14. Though the segment identifies the rifle as the M14, it is actually the Semi Auto only version, the M1A, being that the receiver has no select fire switch.
Barrett M99
A Barrett M99 rifle was used for Gunny testing a .50 incendiary round.
Barrett M82A1
We see a soldier shooting a Barrett M82A1 in a clip seen of Iraq.
Thompson Center Renegade
Submachine-Gun
M1928 Thompson
- In Episode 1: Machine Gun Educations, Gunny blasts away with an M1928 Thompson fitted with a 50-round drum, and somewhat sloppily writes a "G" in the target, for "Gunny". A person at a machine gun shoot is seen firing an M1928 Thompson, fitted with a 30-round magazine.
Walther MPK
- In Episode 1: Machine Gun Educations, a Walther MPK submachine gun is seen on a gun rack.
PPSh-41

Pistols
- In Episode 4: Pistols, the Colt New Army & Navy .38 Colt revolver is introduced as the first successful double/single revolver used by the US military. Gunny shoots a ballistics gel block and the round performs admirably, if not somewhat unimpressive.
Single Action Army
- In Episode 4: Pistols, Single Action Army revolvers (both 5 1/2" Artillery and 4 3/4" Quickdraw models) are test fired by Gunny. The biggest challenge of the episode was when Gunny was asked to shoot on horseback. He ultimately opted to shoot from his motorcycle instead, as it has suspension.
Glock 18C
- In Episode 4: Pistols, professional pistol competition shooter Jessie Abbate lets Gunny shoot her Glock 18C full auto machine pistol. In most of her competitions Abbate uses a Glock 34 (sometimes kitted out depending on the competition), but since she's sponsored by Glock, it makes sense for he to own more than one model.
Ruger Blackhawk Pre-73
- In Episode 4: Pistols, we see Gunny briefly show off a Ruger Blackhawk (more specifically a Pre-73 model with a fluted cylinder and more SAA finishes), noted by its adjustable target sights. You can also see the yellow cylinder block installed behind the cylinder, which is how the Blackhawk is sold. He addresses to his viewers about his use of the Ruger Blackhawk as opposed to the more conventional Smith & Wesson Model 29, using his favorite excuse.
Beretta M9
- In Episode 4: Pistols, Marines are seen training with Beretta M9 pistols. Gunny shoots one himself, but as a good old Marine, finds it inferior to the 1911, and denounces it as nothing more than a good target pistol. In the episode, Gunny incorrectly stated that the standard magazine capacity of the M9 is 20 rounds when it should be 15. 20 rounders were designed for the Beretta M93R
Smith & Wesson Model 500
- In Episode 4: Pistols, Gunny tries out the formidable Smith & Wesson Model 500 revolver, the most powerful production revolver available. After using it to destroy several targets, he decides he needs to own one.

- In Episode 4: Pistols, Gunny tests a "Duck Foot Pistol", a three barreled percussion cap pistol making an early attempt at a volley gun.
Matchlock Pistol
- In Episode 4: Pistols, the Matchlock Pistol is shown briefly as an animation only. Strangely the chain of pistols doesn't start with this gun, despite this being the first gun on the list.
Wheel-Lock Pistol
- In Episode 4: Pistols, Gunny begins on the history of pistols first with the Wheel-Lock Pistol. The weapon has a noticeable delay time on firing, but despite being historically notorious for being unreliable, the weapon actually proved to perform far better than expected.
Percussion Cap Pistol
- In Episode 4: Pistols, Gunny test fires the Percussion Cap Pistol, which defeats the problem of not firing when the ignition system is wet.

- In Episode 4: Pistols, a Colt Patterson 1836 is seen briefly when the Colt 1860 Army is introduced.
Colt 1860 Army
- In Episode 4: Pistols,In Episode 4: Pistols, the Colt 1860 Army is presented as the next great step in pistol firepower. Gunny test fires a Colt 1860 Army revolver. He only loads five for safety purposes
Colt M1911
- In Episode 4: Pistols, the Colt M1911 is introduced as the first truly successful semi-automatic self-loading pistol. Gunny calls it his favorite weapon, as it should be.
Springfield Armory Custom 1911
- In Episode 4: Pistols, we see a Springfield Armory Custom 1911 (Although a box that says Colt Gold Cup National Match is visible in the background) along with a Beretta M9 pistol.
Smith & Wesson Model 629 Classic
- In Episode 4: Pistols, Gunny test fires a Smith & Wesson Model 629 Classic revolver and fires it on a ballistics gel block. The block is thrown off the table by the hard hitting .44 Magnum hollow point, and Gunny is nearly thrown off his chair when the recoil knocks him off balance. Gunny's introduction for this pistol is "Do you feel lucky?" although Dirty Harry's pistol is a Smith & Wesson Model 29.
Handgunn
- In Episode 4: Pistols, we briefly see a re-enactor firing a portable cannon known as a "Handgunn" on a firing range.
Grenade Launchers
Mk 19 Grenade Launcher
- In Episode 5: Helicopters, a Mk 19 grenade launcher is seen door mounted on a modern Huey helicopter.
- In Episode 6: Armored Vehicles, a Mk 19 grenade launcher can be seen in a diagram of the M113 APC.

The last shotgun shown in the Shotgun episode, Gunny was really impressed with the AA-12.
Remington 870
Benelli M1
Unknowns
I think that in the ammo episode on there is a Krag-Jorgensen rifle on a gun rack with a few other rifles.
