WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Revolvers

Colt Python

Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) continues to carry his nickeled six-inch barreled Colt Python .357 Magnum revolver in Season 3. Rick is first seen drawing it on prison inmate Axel (Lew Temple) in "Sick" (S3E02).

The Python is seen in the Rick's leather holster in "Seed" (S3E01).

Lori fires the Colt DS at walkers in "Seed" (S3E01). After the first shot, the cylinder can be seen moving, but the muzzle flash is clearly CGI animation.

Pistols

Beretta 92FS

Along with his BDA, Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs) uses a Beretta 92FS with a improvised suppressor during the Season 3. He shoots walkers in "Seed" (S3E01) during a sweep of the prison yard. In the same episode, the group find several pistols in the armory and Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and T-Dog (IronE Singleton) are briefly seen handling one.

Beretta 92FS - 9x19mm

Carl (Chandler Riggs) aims the Beretta with a suppressor in "Seed" (S3E01). His suppressor appears to have been fashioned from an aluminum baseball bat.

Carl fires the pistol at walkers in the prison yard.

Several Berettas are found in the prison. The right pistol looks more like a replica of some sort.

Glock 17

Due to a continuity error at the beginning of "Seed" (S3E01), Glenn (Steven Yeun) carries the holstered Glock 17 instead of his 19.

Glenn with the holstered gun is seen behind Rick in "Seed" (S3E01).

Glock 19

Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) continues to use T-Dog's Glock 19 with an improvised suppressor in "Seed" (S3E01). Glenn (Steven Yeun) and Hershel (Scott Wilson) also carry Glock 19s in "Seed" (S3E01).

SIG-Sauer P226

Maggie Greene (Lauren Cohan) uses the SIG-Sauer P226 in Season 3. She fires at walkers clearing the prison in "Seed" (S3E01), "Say the Word" (S3E05), and "Hounded" (S3E06).

Vektor CP1

Beth Greene (Emily Kinney) fires a Vektor CP1 at the begining of "Seed" (S3E01) clearing the prison from walkers. For unknown reasons, this is the only scene where the gun is used.

Beth Greene (Emily Kinney) distracts and kills the walkers through the fence.

Rifles and Carbines

Colt M4A1

M4A1 rifles, being rare in previous seasons, are now more common and being seen used by several of the survivors in Season 3. Since Rick's group didn't have these rifles at the end of Season 2, it is likely they acquired them in the interim between Season 2's end and the beginning of Season 3, a gap of several months. Hershel (Scott Wilson) can be seen using one in "Seed" (S3E01). An M4A1 is also found among the weapons in the prison in "Seed" (S3E01) and is briefly handled by T-Dog.

Hershel fires the M4A1 in "Seed" (S3E01). Note the Aimpoint on his rifle is mounted backwards.

WASR-10 UF

Caroll (Melissa McBride) is seen firing what appears to be an WASR-10 UF rifle with railed handguard from a prison watchtower in "Seed" (S3E01). Like the M4A1 above, this rifle was not among their weapons in the previous season, thus was most likely found in between Seasons 2 and 3, as the group was on the move for several months scavenging.

Romanian WASR-10 UF - 7.62x39mm

Carol (Melissa McBride) fires the rifle from a watchtower. Note the open front sight. The trailer shot also shows the lack of a deepening above the magazine, the smooth buttstock, and the markings on the receiver that are characteristic for the WASR.

After shooting the walkers Carol comes down from the tower with the rifle in hand.

Sniper Rifles

Remington 700 VLS

Rick (Andrew Lincoln) uses Dale's Remington 700 VLS rifle with a Simmons ProHunter® scope again clearing the prison from walkers in "Seed" (S3E01). Carol also is seen with the rifle in "The Suicide King" (S3E09).

Springfield M1903 (Sporterized)

Clearing the prison yard Hershel (Scott Wilson) is briefly seen with a scoped Sporterized M1903 Springfield in "Seed" (S3E01). The rifle also used by Maggie in "I Ain't a Judas" (S3E11).

Sporterized M1903 Springfield - .30-06 Springfield

Hershel carries the rifle in "Seed" (S3E01).

Other Weapons

Horton Scout HD 125

Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) continues to carry his Horton Scout HD 125 crossbow as his weapon of choice in Season 3 and uses it in "Seed" (S3E01).

TRIVIA: During filming of the bridge scene, Norman Reedus accidently broke the Horton Scout HD 125 buttstock when he hit the prop walker. Because of this and also with Reedus finding the Horton crossbow to be clunky and uncomfortable to use, he asked the writers for either a new crossbow or a dog, to which the former was picked, thus giving him the Stryker Strykezone 380.

Weapons Cache & Arsenals

Rick's Bag of Guns

Rick briefly carries the bag with a Mossberg 500 and bolt action rifle in "Seed" (S3E01). Rick's bag of guns is seen once again in "The Suicide King" (S3E09) as the Governor inspects the guns still left in it.
