Error creating thumbnail: File missingBeretta 92FS 9x19mm versus the 92F below. Notice how the 92F has a more reflective grip than the 92FS.Error creating thumbnail: File missingBeretta 92F 9x19mm.Error creating thumbnail: File missingBeretta 92FS used in during the voting event in the first episode. Note both the slide markings, identifying it as a civilian 92 and not the military version, and the non-reflective grip identifying it as a 92FS.Error creating thumbnail: File missingFrank shooting the Beretta 92FS. Notice both how he's a lefty, and how he uses the old "stacked thumbs" grip. He also manages to keep both his eyes open. Seeing as he was trained as S.W.A.T. during the 70s and 80s, all of this makes sense.Error creating thumbnail: File missingBill using the "overlapping thumbs" grip. Notice hammer almost dropped on the firing pin.Error creating thumbnail: File missingMike using the "thumbs forward" grip. This is considered to be the most modern technique, achieving maximum recoil control. Note Colby Donaldson in the background who does a good job of hosting the show, without filling it with stupid statements about firearms and their usage.Error creating thumbnail: File missingCGI animation from the second episode. Notice how it is identified as a 92F, but every 92 in the show is a 92FS. The host also introduces the firearm as the Beretta 92F.Error creating thumbnail: File missingBen Stoeger holding the Beretta 92FS during practice. The non-reflective grip proves that this is a 92FS.Error creating thumbnail: File missingChris shooting the Beretta 92FS during the first voting challenge for the blue team.
Beretta 92FS Inox
The Beretta 92FS Inox is shown with a suppressor in the opening credits.
Several Single Action Army's are seen in the opening scene. In Episode 6: "Wild, Wild West", Single Action Army revolvers are seen where they are called "Peacemaker"s.
A Tressitu TZ-99 is shown shooting in slow motion during the opening scene. This handgun is also used in Episode 4: "Friend or Foe?", for the elimination challenge. In the challenge it is described by Colby as "a TZ99: a South African made 9mm handgun."
Looks more like a Sharps rifle in the screen grab! gunner313
I agree with gunner313 its not a 1887 its definatly a Sharps! magnumPI666
Beretta Xtrema 2
The Beretta Xtrema 2 is used in the Elimination challenge in the latest episode, trick shot challenge, to shoot clay pigeons.
Rifles
Colt Model 715 "AR-15"
The Colt Model 715 "AR-15" was used in the fourth episode, "Friend or Foe", during the team challenge.
The gun they're using has an A2 sight so it's not a 715, it's likely a Colt AR-15A2 or possibly a military M16A2. The CGI model is an M16A4 though, note the removable carry handle. - Gunmaster45
Error creating thumbnail: File missingColt Model 715 (virtually identical rifle to the Colt Canada C7) - 5.56x45mmError creating thumbnail: File missingCGI Animation of the AR-15.Error creating thumbnail: File missingClose-up of the AR-15 lower receiver.Error creating thumbnail: File missingChris shooting the AR-15 during practice. Notice how the rifle is firmly placed in his shoulder, he leans forward aggressively and how his elbow is tucked into his body making for a very stable platform for rapid fire shooting. This is probably the best stance for combat shooting.Error creating thumbnail: File missingTara shooting the AR-15 during practice. Notice how the rifle's stock is only minimally touching her shoulder and she simply stands upright. This position would do little to tame the recoil of bigger rifles, but for the 5.56 it's fine, and Tara manages to hit almost every target with relative speed.Error creating thumbnail: File missingBlake shooting the AR-15 during practice. Even though he claims his experience with the AR-15 is "seen it on TV", he has a pretty good stance and manages to hit every target very quickly.Error creating thumbnail: File missingJim shooting the AR-15 during practice. Notice how he doesn't even shoulder his weapon and his body is very bladed. This stance is normally used for long range competition shooting. This stance is not good for this kind of up close fast shooting, as it provides very poor recoil control. Had the targets however been 150 yards further back, this would probably be the technique you would utilize.Error creating thumbnail: File missingBrad shooting the AR-15 during the team challenge. Notice how he is slightly bladed, his left pointer finger is pointed at the target and how his elbow is tucked in as much as it is needed. This is probably the best stance for up close fast shooting in a competition environment.Error creating thumbnail: File missingJim shooting the AR-15 again, this time during the team challenge. This time he has the stock inside his shoulder, but is holding the magazine for some reason.
M1903 Springfield
A M1903 Springfield is used during the first challenge in the first episode when the teams were shooting explosive reactive targets at 50 and 100 yards.
A M14 is used along with the Spingfield, the Mosin Nagant and the SVT-40 during the first challenge. This is most likely just a civilian M1A instead of the fully automatic M14.
The Remington 700P is utilized by Mike and Kelly during the first elimination challenge where they had to shoot explosive reactive targets at 200, 400 and 600 yards.

Notice the again oversized trigger and trigger guard.Error creating thumbnail: File missingKelly using the Remington 700P during the practice session. Notice how Kelly uses a grip prevalent in the long range competition shooting world which he competes in, while Mike chooses to wrap his thumb around the stock.Error creating thumbnail: File missingMike shooting the Remington 700P during practice. Notice how he chose to utilize the bipod folded on top of the sandbags.Error creating thumbnail: File missingKelly shooting the Remington 700P during practice. Notice how Kelly utilizes the bipod instead of the sandbags. Ex-Navy SEAL Craig Sawyer spots for both Kelly and Mike during practice.
