The following guns were used in the television show Mythbusters. Since many Mythbusters episodes features guns, this list is far from complete.
12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
- When using a .45 Long Colt revolver proved ineffective at knocking a hat off a head, they attempted to shoot the hat off using a 12 gauge double barreled coach gun with exposed hammers, which still proved ineffective.
Colt Single Action Army
- 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 to lead. (Both proved "busted")
GE M134 Minigun
- Season 5, episode 22 "Shooting fish in a barrel": Adam and Jamie uses a GE M134 Minigun to shoot a fish in a barrel (resulting in mostly wood chips and fish mousse)
M1 Garand
- To re-reattempt the scope myth, they used a .30-06 M1 Garand with armor piercing rounds, which finally did shoot through the scope, but using a non-scoped gun somewhat killed the point of the experiment. One of the worst "Busted" myths on the show.
Mosin Nagant M91/30
- To reattempt the scope myth, they used an 3.5 PU scope mounted on a semi real looking Mosin Nagant.
Remington 700
- In one episode, to test the "Shooting through the scope" myth, Adam and Jamie, along with the range owner, tested shooting throught 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.
Walther P99
Season 6, episode 1 "James Bond Special 1": Kari tries to pierce a propane tank with a Walther P99 - and fails.
