The following weapons were used in Season 3 of the television series Tour of Duty:
Handguns
Colt M1911A1
The M1911A1 is seen used by Lt. Myron Goldman (Stephen Caffrey) and Lt. John McKay (Dan Gauthier).
Colt MK IV Series 80
Unlike other officer and soldiers, First Lieutenant John McKay's (Dan Gauthier) sidearm is a blued Colt MK IV Series 80 with pearl grips. This is anachronistic for the time period of the series, as the MK IV Series 80 was first produced in 1983.
MGC M1911A1
Throughout the series, the MGC M1911A1 is seen in place of an actual M1911A1.
Tokarev TT-33
NVA officers and some other characters can be seen armed with the Tokarev TT-33 pistols.
Rifles
M16 Variants
The M16 rifle was the main rifle of the U.S. Army soldiers in Vietnam and is seen carried by most of the platoon. In the series, various models of the M16 are seen.
Colt XM177 (Colt Sporter Carbine)
A Colt Sporter Carbine modified to resemble the XM177 rifle is mainly seen being used by SFC Clayton "Zeke" Anderson (Terence Knox). For the remainder of the series, the Colt is loaded with the more accurate 20 round magazine.
M14
The M14 Rifle was seen twice, used by Sgt. Block (Michael Madsen) and Lt. John McKay (Dan Gauthier) as sniper rifles.
M2 Carbine
The M2 Carbine was used by Sgt. Marcus Taylor (Miguel A. Nunez, Jr.) in some of the SOG missions.

The Norinco Type 56 is seen in the hands of the NVA and VC soldiers.
AKM
The AKM is also used by enemy forces as well as Lt. Goldman.

In later episodes, Goldman carries an AKMS. In "War is a Contact Sport" (S3E18), an NVA tank gunner atop a T-55 is seen using one that's fitted with a drum magazine.
SKS rifle

SVD Dragunov
The SVD Dragunov is seen twice used by NVA snipers.

In 1966 the Swedish goverment blocked the sales of arms to the US as a protest against US involvement in the Vietnam conflict. As a result, Smith and Wesson created a clone of the Swedish M/45 which became known as the M76 on its release in 1967.
Carl Gustav M45
The Carl Gustav M/45 is used by Cpl. Danny Purcell (Tony Becker) and CIA Agent Duke Fontaine (Patrick Kilpatrick) on some SOG missions. The US forces in Vietnam used "deniable" weapons for some ops, which included the Carl Gustav.
