Rifles and Carbines

Colt M4A1

Clearing the prison yard of walkers at the beginning of "Seed" (S3E01) Hershel (Scott Wilson) is seen firing an M4A1 with an Aimpoint sight from a watchtower. Another carbine is also found among the weapons in the prison and is briefly handled by T-Dog (IronE Singleton) in the same episode. Most of the National Guardsmen (including Bob Fisher, Philip Dido and Dwayne Boyd) including Private Sean (Troy Faruk) and Private Wilson (Matthew Austin Murray) are armed with rifles in "Walk With Me" (S3E03). One of The Governor's men named Crowley (Arthur Bridgers) uses the M4A1 with an optic scope and camo wrap during the episode. Merle (Michael Rooker) also takes another rifle fitted with a scope and makeshift suppressor from another guard (Dango Nguyen) and kills a walker from the wall at night. The next morning he uses a standard rifle during an attack on a National Army camp.

Colt M4A1 with M68 Aimpoint reflex optic and vertical forward grip - 5.56x45mm NATO

Hershel fires the M4A1 fitted with a backward mounted Aimpoint sight and fast mag pull in "Seed" (S3E01). Since Rick's group didn't have it at the end of Season 2, they most likely found it, as well as some other weapon, during their 8 month wanderings between seasons.

Corporal Brady (Gary Weeks) takes the LE carbine seeing the approaching vehicle.

The Governor (David Morrissey) aims the carbine at a fleeing soldier. The carbine does not have a carry handle or any other rear sights, which makes aiming much more difficult.

WASR-10/63

Tim (Lawrence Kao) uses what appears to be a Romanian WASR during an attack on a National Army camp in "Walk With Me" (S3E03).

A US imported Romanian WASR 10/63 - 7.62x39mm

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).

Machine Guns

Browning M2HB

A Browning M2HB machine gun is mounted on a National Guard HMMWV that the Governor brings back to Woodbury in "Walk With Me" (S3E03).

Browning M2HB - .50 BMG

The M2HB is seen on the left next to the Governor in "Walk With Me" (S3E03). This machine gun appears to be a mockup, judging from the crude mount and no ammo feed present.

In "Walk With Me" (S3E03), Private Wilson (Matthew Austin Murray) is armed with an M4A1 affixed with a M203 grenade launcher.

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) and "Sick" (S3E02).

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.

Horton Scout HD 125

Daryl carries the Horton Scout in "Seed" (S3E01).

Stun Grenades

When they arrive in Woodbury the bag is left with the Governor, who checks the weapons from it in "The Suicide King" (S3E09).
