F Troop is a satirical comedy set in the American West and involving the personnel of F Troop, stationed at the fictional Fort Courage; the Hekawi, a peaceful tribe of Native Americans residing in a nearby village; and occassionally the Shug, an antagonistic tribe of Native Americans. Slapstick comedy is on display in most episodes, with the principal cast performing many of their own stunts. The show is set some time near or after the end of the American Civil War. Great liberties with the timeline are taken by the show's writers; in one episode, Abraham Lincoln is still the President (1865), while in another episode, General Custer has recently lost the Battle of the Little Bighorn (1876). Regardless, many of the firearms used in the show are anachronistic.
The following weapons were used in Season 1 of the television series F Troop:
Sgt. O'Rourke, Cpl. Agarn, Bill Colton (Vic Tayback), Bob Colton (Robert Anderson (V)), Sam Urp (Jack Elam), Pedro (unknown actor), Jim Sweeney (Richard Reeves), Mike O'Hanlon (Ben Gage) and several troopers are seen with Single Action Army "Artillery" model revolvers.
El Diablo (Larry Storch) and Felipe (Tony Martinez) carry Single Action Army "Quick Draw" model revolvers. Trooper Duddleson (Ivan Bell) uses a "Quick Draw" model revolver in one episode.
The troopers are seen with Model 1873 Springfield Trapdoor Carbines throughout Season 1. Officers, Sgt. O'Rourke, Shug warriors and Hekawi warriors also use them in several episodes. Hannibal Dobbs is seen with a Trapdoor Carbine in one episode.
Sgt. O'Rourke, Cpl. Agarn, Wrangler Jane and Trooper Vanderbilt are seen with Winchester Model 1892 rifles with octagonal barrels. Shug warriors are also seen with rifles.
A cannon resembling the Model 1857 Light 12-pounder Gun, commonly referred to as the 12-pounder Napoleon, is seen in Episode 1. The same scene appears during the opening credits throughout Season 1.
A cannon seen in Episode 1 is used by Union and Confederate soldiers. The same cannon is seen in Fort Courage throughout Season 1. It appears to be a prop due to the unusual barrel profile, lack of sights, lack of a knob on the cascabel, and unusual elevating hardware.
