==Colt Mk IV Series 70 ==
Multiple apperances.
* '''"The Golden Triangle" (S1E02)'''. In the opening gambit, a goon in a junkyard has a M1911A1 with a supressor. The goon's M1911 gets stuck on a magnet when MacGyver uses one to pick up a attache case the goon was guarding. The goon recovers it and continues to chase MacGyver. Later, when the real episode starts in Burma, it is used by the villianous Truang ([[Benjamin Lum]]), Gen. Narai's right hand man. It's mostly seen in his holster, but he draws it out when MacGyver starts causing commotion in the camp. He loses it when MacGyver rams a truck to a shed he is hiding in. When Truang's envoy returns to the village, he has aquired a new one. When MacGyver stops the envoy to taunt them, Truang pulls his M1911 and shoots at MacGyver. The M1911 Truang fires a real one, as it ejects casings and gunsmoke.

==Heckler & Koch P9S==
The [[Heckler & Koch P9S]] has a notable number of appearances. During seasons 1-3, it frequently appears as the gun of choice of most villians and their underlings. It is substituted by the Taurus PT92 and/or Beretta 92F during seasons 4-7.

[[Colt Detective Special]] has multiple appearances:
*'''"Pilot" (S1E01)''' - once MacGyver finally reaches Dr. Carl Steubens ([[Paul Stewart]]) and Dr. Sidney Marlowe ([[Olaf Pooley]]), the former reaches out to a drawer and pulls out a nickel Colt Detective Special. He keeps MacGyver and Dr. Marlowe at bay while they have conversation about Dr. Steubens' motives. Rashly acting Barbara Spencer ([[Darlanne Fluegel]]) rushes at Steubens, trying to grab the gun, and gets shot. Startled Steubens drops his guard and next MacGyver rushes in and succeeds in disarming him.

==Valmet M71S==
In "Pilot" (S1E01), Central Asian soldiers as well as MacGyver ([[Richard Dean Anderson]]) are seen using the [[Valmet_Assault_Rifle_Series#Valmet_M71|Valmet M71S]], standing in for AKM. All of these rifles appear to have 30-round .223 pre-ban metal magazines. Based on the shape of the stock, these are plastic handguard/resin-stock variants.

==Norinco Type 56 (mocked up as AKM)==
[[Norinco Type 56]] with a AKM-style slant cut muzzle break has multiple appearances in the series. This rifle appears when a person within a show needs to fire a live AK-type rifle on screen, as there is muzzle flash and ejecting casings coming from this rifle.
* '''"Pilot" (S1E01)''' - When MacGyver ([[Richard Dean Anderson]]) goes to seek a missile that's hidden in a tent, a noticeable continuity error occurs, as the Valmet M71 he carried in previous scene has changed to a [[AKM]]. He later uses the AKM as part of a MacGyver'ed distraction to allow MacGyver to get the captured fighter pilot escape from a cage. <br> Most peculiarly, MacGyver - who is later established as a very anti-gun person - opens fire towards chasing soldiers to fend them off. ''The reason for the uncharacteristically casual way he handles firearms in the pilot episode is exactly because this is the pilot episode. So details like MacGyver's backstory and aversion of firearms were merely in flux, depending on whatever the show would get picked up by a tv network or not.'' He later gives the AKM to prisoner while he starts to work on the escape plan.
* '''"Golden Triangle" (S1E02)''' - Appears in hands of one the villagers when they prepare for Gen. Narai's counterattack. You can see full-scooped hood on it.
* '''"Gauntlet" (S1E04)''' - Wielded by Arabic soldiers

==AK-47==
[[AK-47]](s) and/or it's better clones - with traditional muzzle/without slant cut compensator and open hood sights - are featured in the series.
* '''"Pilot" (S1E01)''' - There is a moment in the opening gambit when MacGyver starts wrestling away a AK from a enemy soldier, that has a stubby muzzle instead of the slanted one MacGyver has later.
* '''"Golden Triangle" (S1E02)''' - Burmese Soldiers under General Nakai have AK-47(s) with open hood sights. It's later seen in hands of the villagers after they prepare against Gen. Narai's retribution, though MacGyver proposes non-lethal approach.

[[Image:MacS1 08.jpg|thumb|none|450px|In "Pilot" (S1E01), MacGyver uses a modified [[M8 Flare Pistol]] as a rocket thruster.]]
MacGyver was an television adventure series that aired on ABC from 1985 to 1992 and starred Richard Dean Anderson as the title character, 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 shooting guns (attributed to a tragic childhood incident). While the character never was operating weapons (save for the pilot episode), that didn't preclude him from using them in a non-lethal manner. The series would continue in several made for television films and was subsequently "rebooted" in 2016 with a new CBS television adaptation.
The following weapons were used in the television series MacGyver:
"Jack of Lies" (S2E06) - Colonel Antunnez (Gregory Sierra) uses the pistol.
Custom M1911
Appears in "Strictly Business" (S6E19), it is Murdoc's (Michael Des Barres) main carry pistol through-out the episode. This M1911 is distinguishable with chrome finish, black controls (slide stop and safety), black spur hammer, brown/wood grips with emblem, slightly angular trigger guard, harsh angular slide top and slightly protruding barrel.
It first appears in the beggining sequence when Murdoc goes to a hearing with HIT top executives. Though first he is asked to remove all weapons and Murdoc lays the M1911 on the hood of his car. He uses the gun again at MacGyver's houseboat. He first keeps it in his holster and takes it out when Mac gets out of the trap. After blowing up Mac's rental car with FIM-43 Redeye, Murdoc chases Mac to the forest with the M1911 at hand. He later is seen screwing a suppressor on to it in order to shoot a lock and enter a cabin without alarming Suzanne Walker. He withdraws when he hears the little girl using a secret entrance to cabin. Once he manages to get alone with MacGyver, he has a camera setup where the pull of the M1911's trigger will activate the camera and take a photo of MacGyver's death. After foiled by distraction by Amy and chairshot from MacGyver, Murdoc fires at the two of them. He is last seen with the pistol holding Suzanne Walker hostage with it.
Taurus PT92AFS has multiple appearances. The Taurus was a pistol more readily available to Canadian armorers, so when the production moved to Vancouver in later seasons, it became the gun of choice for most villains and their underlings during seasons 4-7, taking over H&K P9S's duty from season 1-3.
"Eye of Osiris" (S6E14)' - A (sometimes suppressed) Taurus PT92AFS was used by Nicolas Von Leer (Kai Wulff)
"D.O.A.: MacGyver" (S2E21) - used by amnesiatic MacGyver. His amnesia prevents him from remembering that he detests handling guns.
"Halloween Knights" (S5E06) - Wielded by a freelance assassin named Hank Gregg (Scott J. Ateah), who is used as a guinea pig for Nicholas Helman's "Death Row" trap gauntlet to test it's effectiveness against a skilled assassin on par with Murdoc.
"Strictly Business" (S6E19) - When Murdoc sets off a metal detector at HIT hearing early in the episode, he told to remove the rest of his hidden weapons. One of these weapons is a Beretta 92F.
Eunice (Claire Vardiel) uses a Beretta 84 in "Legend of the Holy Rose, Part 2" (S5E02). Erich Von Leer (Christopher Neame) appears to use a stainless model in the same episode.
Appears in episode "Halloween Knights" (S5E06). When Sonia Chapel (Jo Bates) catches Murdoc and informs that MacGyver is disguised as one of the HIT board members, Nicholas Helman (Daniel Davis) draws what appears to be stainless Beretta M1934 on MacGyver. After the Mac and Murdoc manage to get through the Death Row, Helman rushes to confront Murdoc with the Beretta.
Murdoc (Michael Des Barres), disguised as nurse, pulls out a supressed Walther PPK in an attempt shoot hospitalized Jack Dalton in episode "Partners" (S2E18)
In Episode "Widowmaker" (S3E08), Murdoc (Michael Des Barres) makes his final cliffside attack with what appears to a Browning Hi-Power pistol. He loses it when fast-acting Nikki Carpenter (Elyssa Davalos) karate kicks the pistol out of his hands (!!)
Due to weak video quality murking the details, it's kinda hard to tell it's Browning Hi-Power. The shape of the gun is easier to tell in motion that with screen captures.
"Halloween Knights" (S5E06). Unknown assilant uses a Colt Detective Special to shoot the rear wheel of MacGyver's old Chevrolet pick-up truck. Even though the assilant turns out to be Murdoc, it cannot be confirmed that his actor - Michael Des Barres - is firing the revolver.
Appears in "Halloween Knights" (S5E06). A cowboy at Helman Club's costume party has a two holstered, ivory-gripped Colt SAA(s) as part of his costume.

Smith & Wesson Model 10
In "Blood Brothers" (S4E02), a flashback to 1961 shows what appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver used by MacGyver's friend in the incident that explains Mac's aversion to guns.
"Cleo Rocks" (S4E09) - Murdoc (Michael Des Barres) uses a nickel S&W Model 36 with pearl grips during the episode. First appears when Murdoc is using it to force Pete Thorthon (Dana Elcar) into a cage for a future trap for MacGyver. He is later shown with it when he lures MacGyver to a trap with Penny Parker (Teri Hatcher). He loses it when tied-up Penny kicks it off his hands.
Through-out the flashback sequence of the episode "Partners" (S2E18), Peter Thornton (Dana Elcar) carries a snubnose Smith & Wesson Model 19 as his sidearm.
Barbershop dummy in Death Row's street section is armed a double barrelled side-by-side shotgun, complete with a motion detector accessory atop the front sights. It's hard to see it when Mr. Gregg first goes through the Death Row, but is seen much clearer when MacGyver and Murdoc go through the Death Row later in the episode.
S5E06 - Death Row Barbershop dummy with a double-barrelled side-by-side shotgun aims high, due to MacGyver throwing a garbage lid to decieve it's motion sensor
S5E06 - Close-up shot of the Death Row Barbershop dummy's double-barrelled side-by-side shotgun and the motion sensor attached to it.
"Strictly Business" (S6E19)
Significant gun for the episode. The Double Barrel Shotgun first seen in hands of (Kristen Meadows), when her daughter Amy (Rochelle Greenwood) is approached by seriously injured MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson). After being told by Murdoc (Michael Des Barres) that the amnesiac MacGyver is dangerous killer, Suzanne rushes to aquire the shotgun, fearing for Amy. However, she is stopped by Murdoc from doing anything rash. Murdoc ends up smooth talking Suzanne into giving the shotgun to him.
When Suzanne and Amy try to escape with a car, Amy - distrusting Murdoc - runs to MacGyver to warn him. Suzanne rushes to get the shotgun left behind by Murdoc. She encounters Murdoc whom she sees shooting at Amy and MacGyver. She confronts Murdoc and attempts to shoot him. However, Murdoc had removed the shells out of the gun prior and she was in too much of rush to notice.

FIM-43 Redeye
Appears in "Strictly Business" (S6E19). As MacGyver is travelling on road to wilderness by car, Murdoc (Michael Des Barres) ambushes him by using his pick-up truck as a road-block and armed with a FIM-43 that's decked with additional parts. Murdoc fires the launcher and blows up MacGyver's car and badly injures him.
This FIM-43 is decked out with an additional see-thru plastic blast shield in front and oversized pear seal in rear. It could be that these parts were added to protect the actor Michael Des Barres from the pyrotechnics of the prop. It could also be to make the rocket launcher more unique looking.
