MacGyver (1985 TV Series)

MacGyver is an action series starring Richard Dean Anderson as a government troubleshoot who uses his wits as well as everyday items to create devices to get out of sticky situations. The show was also notable for the main character's adversion to guns, which was attributed to a tragic childhood accident. While the character never was seen firing guns (save for the pilot episode), that didn't preclude him from using them in a non-lethal manner.

The following weapons were used in the television series MacGyver:

Handguns

Smith & Wesson Model 28

In Season 1's "Flame's End", MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) takes the frame of a Smith & Wesson Model 28 to remove a bolt from a leaking pipe.

Heckler & Koch P9S

The Heckler & Koch P9S is used by several characters in the series, notably in Season 1's "Last Stand" and "To Be A Man".

Beretta 92F

The Beretta 92F is used throughout the series, notably by MacGyver in Season 2's "D.O.A.", when his amnesia prevents him from remembering that he detests handling guns.

Beretta 92FS - 9x19mm. This well worn movie gun is the original Beretta 92F that Bruce Willis used in Die Hard and was also used by Mel Gibson in the Lethal Weapon series. This is the hero screen used live firing gun in both films and has since been 'retired' to a glass museum case. Note the extended slide catch.
