Revision as of 01:25, 18 March 2012
Unidentified This article currently has one or more unidentified weapons. |
NOTE: On occasion Mythbusters shows clips from movies pertaining to the myth they are trying to replicate. Sometimes those clips contain guns. I am NOT including those clips here. If you want to check those guns, look on the page for the particular movie that they mentioned.
The following guns were used in the television show Mythbusters.
Handguns
Colt Gold Cup National Match (custom)
A Colt Gold Cup National Match pistol is used in "Boomerang Bullet" (S07E24) to see if a bullet can ricochet back and hit the shooter.
Both Adam and Jamie both use the same Colt Gold Cup National Match in Wheel of Mythfortune (S9E21) to test whether action movie shooting stances actually work. Jamie describes it as a "very common gun worldwide."
Colt MK IV Series 70
In "Curving Bullets" (S07E10) Tori, Grant and Kari use a Colt MK IV Series 70 to test the technique of curving a bullet demonstrated in the movie Wanted.
CornerShot with Modified Glock
In "Myth Evolution" (S07E18), the CornerShot is used to test the effectiveness of shooting around a corner.
FEG P9R
In "Mission Impossible Mask" (S09E01), a FEG P9R is used as the target gun whilst testing whether it is possible to shoot at a gun and cause it to slide across the floor.
Flintlock Pistol
In "Paper Armor" (S09E12), Kari, Grant and Tori use a Flintlock Pistol to test how durable their paper armor is. The expert states that it is a French gun from about 1750.
Glock 17
In "Firearms Folklore" (S04E25), Adam and Jamie use the Glock 17 to test the myth that a bullet fired from a Glock lodged backwards in the cylinder of a revolver.
In "Mission Impossible Mask" (S09E01), Tori, Grant and Kari use a 3rd Generation Glock 17 to test if you can start a merry-go-round spinning by shooting at it as shown in Shoot 'Em Up.
In "Spy Car 2" (S09E07), Tori, Grant and Kari use a 2nd Generation Glock 17 with custom sights to test the myth that if you shoot a bullet into ice it will spin like a top.
Glock 23
In "Mini Myth Mayhem" (S08E17), the Glock 23 is used, to test weather a hair weave is bulletproof. Unsurprisingly, it is most definitely not. It is also used, in the same episode, to test whether a refrigerator door is bullet proof.
In "Inverted Underwater Car" (S08E19), the Glock 23 is used to test whether the muzzle flash from a gun can ignite a room full of gas.
Glock 35
In "Mission Impossible Mask" (S09E01), during the introduction for the test to see if you can start a merry-go-round spinning by shooting at it as shown in Shoot 'Em Up Kari brandishes a Glock 35 fitted with target sights, despite the fact a Glock 17 is the gun that is used for the actual test.
Heckler & Koch USP Tactical
In "Blow Your Own Sail" (S09E06), the Heckler & Koch USP Tactical is shown when testing the myth of Hollywood sound effects, testing a .45 ACP pistol un-suppressed. Oddly, they ended up switching to a different, unknown .45 for the test.
Modified Glock
In "Myth Evolution" (S07E18), the Mythbusters use a Glock that has been modified to fire special gel markers.
SIG-Sauer P226 Combat TB
In "Blow Your Own Sail" (S09E06), Adam and Jamie use the SIG-Sauer P226 Combat TB to test the myth of Hollywood sound effects, testing a 9mm pistol suppressed and un-suppressed. In the HD broadcast the "P226" marking on the handle can be seen as Adam prepares to fire.
SIG-Sauer P239
The most common gun on the show, the SIG-Sauer P239 is almost always used when a myth calls for a 9mm.
In "Explosive Decompression" (S01E04), Jamie and Adam use the SIG-Sauer P239 to test the myth of explosive decompression on a plane.
In "Bulletproof Water" (S03E10), Jamie uses the SIG-Sauer P239 to test whether water is in fact bulletproof.
In "Shredded Plane" (S04E02), Grant, Tori and Kari use the SIG-Sauer P239 to attempt to start a fire with a gun. They remove the bullet from the round and attempt to use the firing cap to ignite gunpowder.
In "Bullets Fired Up" (S04E07), Jamie and Adam use the SIG-Sauer P239 to test the myth that bullets fired upward can kill on their return trip.
In "Myths Reopened" (S04E08), Grant, Tori and Kari use the SIG-Sauer P239 to test whether you can fire a gun underwater. Amazingly it does fire, it does not however reload correctly.
In "Mega Movie Myths" (S04E19), Grant, Tori and Kari use the SIG-Sauer P239 to see if shooting a lock allows it to be opened.
In "Myth Revolution" (S05E18), Grant, Tori and Kari use the SIG-Sauer P239 to see if a ninja can slap a bullet away.
In "Shooting Fish in a Barrel" (S05E22), Adam and Jamie use the SIG-Sauer P239 to test how easy it really is to shoot fish in a barrel.
In "Inverted Underwater Car" (S08E19), Grant , Tori and Kari use the SIG-Sauer P239 to test whether shooting through milk will prevent the muzzle flash of a gun from igniting a room full of gas. This is based on the movie Kiss The Girls where Morgan Freeman's character does just that.
In "Spy Car 2" (S09E07), Tori is seen holding the SIG-Sauer P239 when preparing for the myth that a bullet fired into ice will spin like a top. For the actual testing of the myth, they used a Glock.
Smith & Wesson SW99
In "James Bond Special Part 1" (S06E01), Kari uses the Smith & Wesson SW99 to attempt to blow up a propane tank a la James Bond. Note that James Bond's pistol is the Walther P99, not its licensed clone.

In "Mini Myth Mayhem" (S07E23), the Springfield Armory Loaded 1911 makes another appearance where they successfully use it to light a match with a bullet.
In "Mission Impossible Mask" (S09E01), Kari uses a different Springfield Armory Loaded 1911 to test if you can start a merry-go-round spinning by shooting at it as shown in Shoot 'Em Up.
Walther P22
In "Blow Your Own Sail" (S09E06), Adam uses an Walther P22 with a threaded barrel to test the myth of Hollywood sound effects. Hilariously, it is referred to as a .45 caliber rather than the correct .22 caliber in the graphics.
Unknown 1911
The Mythbusters often use a variety of 1911 pistols. The ones listed here are ones that I have not been able to positively identify.

Smith & Wesson Model 29
In "Paper Armor" (S09E12), Adam uses a Smith & Wesson Model 29 to conduct underwater shock wave tests. It has been heavily modified by removing the rear sight(the square cut out for the sights is visible on the top corner of the frame), shortening the barrel and attaching a vertical tube to the muzzle. The gun fires blanks which send a shock wave both up and down.
Smith & Wesson Model 460
The Smith & Wesson Model 460 is used in "Thermite vs. Ice" (S07E08) to test whether holding a hunting revolver improperly will blow your thumb of fingers when it's fired.

Sub-Machine Guns

Shotguns
10 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
In "More Myths Revisited" (S05E06), an antique 10 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun is used to re-test the myth that if you plug the barrel of a gun with your finger, it will explode. They used an antique that was made in 1877 using the old Damascus technique of heating narrow strips of metal then shaping them around a mandrel. The theory was that this older, and definitely weaker barrel might fail when the barrel was plugged.
12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
In "Myths Reopened" (S04E08), Grant, Tori and Kari use a 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun to test the lethality of firing a gun underwater. Turns out that a shotgun explodes when fired underwater.

Jamie tested to see if a box full of pepperoni pizzas could stop different types of shotgun rounds using a Remington 870 with a peep sight. He also used it to shoot his custom bullet proof vest, in which the slug round left a gaping hole in it.
Remington Model 870 Field Gun
In "Bulletproof Water" (S03E10) a Remington Model 870 Field Gun is used to test whether water is bulletproof.

Tory uses an FN Minimi Para in "Viewer Special 2" (S06E05) to attempt to cut down a tree.

Enfield Pattern 1853
An Enfield Pattern 1853 rifled musket is used to test whether Davy Crockett could actually split a bullet on an axe head in "Swimming With Syrup" (S07E05). This choice of rifle is anachronistic, not entering service until 17 years after Davy Crockett's death at The Alamo in 1836.

The Mythbusters use the M1 Garand in "Dive to Survive" (S08E03) to do a shop test to see how many phonebooks it would take to stop a "high powered" bullet. The narrator mistaking refers to rifle as a M14 and there is also a continuity error as the Mythbusters had been using the M14 earlier in the episode. In the end, for some unknown reason, they end up switching to the M1 Garand.
