This show is currently airing. This article or section is for a series that is Ongoing, or currently on the air and thus is a continuous work in progress. |
The following guns were used in the television series Top Gear
Whilst nominally a motoring-magazine show, Top Gear has featured firearms as part of stunt tests for various cars, usually involving the British military.
Colt 25
Owned by one of the Miami used-car dealers in the US Roadtrip special.
Beretta 92FS
Used by James May during the Eastern America road trip, to perform a drive-by shooting out of his Ferrari 458 Italia.
Smith & Wesson M&P
Used by Richard Hammond during the Eastern America road trip, to perform a drive-by shooting out of his Porsche 911 GT3 RS.
SIG-Sauer P229
During the Eastern America road trip, Jeremy Clarkson is seen using a SIG-Sauer P229 in the training session before the drive-by shooting challenge.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Walther P38
Remington 870
Sten
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Used by presenter Jeremy Clarkson during a "Car Biathlon" intended to test SUVs. Fitted with an M68 Aimpoint scope and flashlight in the forearm, he failed to hit any of the targets, but managed to hit a tree enough for it to fall over ... somehow ... Clarkson incorrectly called it a 'machine pistol' - this may be because submachineguns are called machine pistols in many northern European languages ("maschinenpistole" in German, thus the "MP" in "MP5", and "kulsprutepistol" in Swedish). As this MP5 was probably borrowed from the Norwegian police or military, the Norwegians may well have referred to it as a machine pistol.
AR-15 Carbine
Jeremy Clarkson uses an AR-15 carbine fitted with an Aimpoint CompM4 during the Eastern America road trip, to perform a drive-by shooting out of his Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, with its gull-wing doors providing a distinct advantage over the other two cars.
AKM
Seen used in a segment asking if the Communists ever produced a good car.
AK Variant
Seen mounted inside the Paramount Marauder armored vehicle are two unknown (possibly fake) AK variants.
SA80
L85A2s are used by snipers from the Irish Guards to fire at a pair of Sports cars in an evasive driving stunt. The rifles are fitted with SUSATs, BFAs and MILES units. Clarkson refers to them as "the Mark Two version of the Army's SA80 rifle; which differs from the Mark One, because it works." Also used by commandos from the Royal Marines in a stunt involving using a Ford Fiesta in an amphibious assault. Another stunt involved the latest updated A2s with the Daniel Defence quad-rail foreguards and grip-pods used by British Troops from various regiments of the 7th Armoured Brigade in a game of "British Bulldog", shooting (allegedly) live rounds against Clarkson, who was trying to get from one side of the Royal Armoured Corps training centre at Bovington to the other (in one piece).
FN Minimi Para / L110A1
Seen used by Commandos from the Royal Marines during the Amphibious landing stunt.
L7 Machine Gun
Seen Mounted on a British Army Challenger II MBT that chased a Range Rover across a training ground, and on various landing craft during the amphibious assault stunt.
Browning M2
Seen mounted on various armoured vehicles used to play "British Bulldog" against a Mitsubishi Evo VIII. At least one was fitted with a SUSAT.
Paintball Guns
Used in the stretch limo episode when the presenters test their limousines' performances. While one presenter drives the limousine, the other two presenters must shoot the driver's limousine to see how many times their limousine is shot. When James May jumps out of the front half of his limousine to get to the steering wheel of the other half, Jeremy shoots at James' crotch.
