[[Image:BerettaM92FS.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Beretta 92FS 9x19mm versus the 92F below. Notice how the 92F has a more reflective grip than the 92FS.]]
 
[[Image:Beretta92F LeftSide.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Beretta 92F 9x19mm.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE1Beretta1.png|thumb|none|600px|Beretta 92FS used in during the voting event in the first episode. Note both the slide markings, identifying it as a civilian 92 and not the military version, and the non-reflective grip identifying it as a 92FS.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE1Beretta2.png|thumb|none|600px|Frank shooting the Beretta 92FS. Notice both how he's a lefty, and how he uses the old "stacked thumbs" grip. He also manages to keep both his eyes open. Seeing as he was trained as S.W.A.T. during the 70s and 80s, all of this makes sense.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE1Beretta3.png|thumb|none|600px|Bill using the "overlapping thumbs" grip. Notice hammer almost dropped on the firing pin.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE1Beretta4.png|thumb|none|600px|Mike using the "thumbs forward" grip. This is considered to be the most modern technique, achieving maximum recoil control. Note [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colby_Donaldson Colby Donaldson] in the background who does a good job of hosting the show, without filling it with stupid statements about firearms and their usage.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE2Beretta92FS1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|CGI animation from the second episode. Notice how it is identified as a 92F, but every 92 in the show is a 92FS. The host also introduces the firearm as the Beretta 92F.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE2Beretta92FS4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ben Stoeger holding the Beretta 92FS during practice. The non-reflective grip proves that this is a 92FS.]]

[[Image:TopShotE1BerettaInox1.png|thumb|none|600px|The Beretta 92FS Inox seen in the opening scene. Notice how the suppressor obstructs the sights, making it very hard if not impossible to aim.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE1BerettaInox2.png|thumb|none|600px|Beretta 92FS Inox being aimed by Mike in the opening scene.]]

A [[Tressitu TZ-99]] is shown shooting in slow motion during the opening scene. This handgun is also used in Episode 4: "Friend or Foe?", for the elimination challenge. In the challenge it is described by Colby as "a TZ99: a South African made 9mm handgun."
 
 
 
[[Image:Cz99-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Zastava CZ99 - 9x19mm - Though not identical, the TZ99 is a very similar [[SIG-Sauer P226]] clone.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE4CZ991.jpg‎ |thumb|none|600px|CGI animation of a SIG-Sauer P226. Notice the decocker, slide release, and takedown lever, showing it is a P226..]]

The [[Desert Eagle|Desert Eagle Mark VII]] is shown used by Andre in the opening scene.
 
[[Image:DesertEagleMarkVIInickel.jpg|thumb|none|390px|Desert Eagle MK VII - .357 Magnum w/ brushed chrome finish.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE2DesertEagle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Desert Eagle being held by Andre during the opening scene. The fact that it lacks scope rails evidences that this is not the XIX version, but the VII. Note also the fact that it's in .41/.44 magnum.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE2DesertEagle2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Desert Eagle being held by Andre.]]

An [[Uzi]] is shown in the opening credits.
 
[[Image:Uzi.jpg|thumb|none|450px|IMI Uzi - 9mm]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE1Uzi1.png|thumb|none|600px|J.J. aiming the Uzi during the opening scene. Notice the characteristic magazine inside the grip.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE1Uzi2.png|thumb|none|600px|A marksman unfolding the stock of the Uzi. Notice the very characteristic folding stock.]]
 
 
 
 
 
==Shotguns==
 
 
 
===Beretta Xtrema 2===
 
The Beretta Xtrema 2 is used in the Elimination challenge in the latest episode, trick shot challenge, to shoot clay pigeons.
 
 
 
==Rifles==
 
 
 
===Sharps Rifle===
 
A Sharps rifle is seen in Episode 2: "Zipline of Fire" laying while the sun passes over it.
 
 
 
[[Image:TopShotE218871.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sharps rifle with lighting changes to simulate the rising sun.]]
 
 
 
===Colt Model 715 "AR-15"===
 
The Colt Model 715 "AR-15" was used in the fourth episode, "Friend or Foe", during the team challenge.
 
:The gun they're using has an A2 sight so it's not a 715, it's likely a Colt AR-15A2 or possibly a military M16A2. The CGI model is an M16A4 though, note the removable carry handle. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]
 
My Mistake-[[USer:SargeOverkill]]
 
 
 
[[Image:Colt715 C7Rifle.jpg‎ |thumb|none|500px|Colt Model 715 (virtually identical rifle to the Colt Canada C7) - 5.56x45mm]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE4AR151.jpg‎ |thumb|none|600px|CGI Animation of the AR-15.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE4AR152.jpg‎ |thumb|none|600px|Close-up of the AR-15 lower receiver.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE4AR153.jpg‎ |thumb|none|600px|Chris shooting the AR-15 during practice. Notice how the rifle is firmly placed in his shoulder, he leans forward aggressively and how his elbow is tucked into his body making for a very stable platform for rapid fire shooting. This is probably the best stance for combat shooting.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE4AR154.jpg‎ |thumb|none|600px|Tara shooting the AR-15 during practice. Notice how the rifle's stock is only minimally touching her shoulder and she simply stands upright. This position would do little to tame the recoil of bigger rifles, but for the 5.56 it's fine, and Tara manages to hit almost every target with relative speed.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE4AR155.jpg‎ |thumb|none|600px|Blake shooting the AR-15 during practice. Even though he claims his experience with the AR-15 is "seen it on TV", he has a pretty good stance and manages to hit every target very quickly.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE4AR156.jpg‎ |thumb|none|600px|Jim shooting the AR-15 during practice. Notice how he doesn't even shoulder his weapon and his body is very bladed. This stance is normally used for long range competition shooting. This stance is not good for this kind of up close fast shooting, as it provides very poor recoil control. Had the targets however been 150 yards further back, this would probably be the technique you would utilize.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE4AR157.jpg‎ |thumb|none|600px|Brad shooting the AR-15 during the team challenge. Notice how he is slightly bladed, his left pointer finger is pointed at the target and how his elbow is tucked in as much as it is needed. This is probably the best stance for up close fast shooting in a competition environment.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE4AR158.jpg‎ |thumb|none|600px|Jim shooting the AR-15 again, this time during the team challenge. This time he has the stock inside his shoulder, but is holding the magazine for some reason.]]
 
 
 
===M1903 Springfield===
 
A [[M1903 Springfield]] is used during the first challenge in the first episode when the teams were shooting explosive reactive targets at 50 and 100 yards.
 
[[Image:M1903Mark1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Springfield M1903 Mk 1 - .30-06]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE1Springfield1.png|600px|thumb|none|CGI animation of the Springfield. Notice the extremely large trigger and trigger guard.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE1Springfield4.png|600px|thumb|none|Mike during his infamous 30+ round missing spree at 100 yards with the Springfield.]]
 
 
 
===Mosin Nagant Rifle===
 
A [[Mosin Nagant Rifle]] is used along with the Springfield during the first challenge in the first episode.

[[Image:TopShotE1MosinNagant1.png|thumb|none|600px|CGI animation of the Mosin Nagant. Notice the left handed bolt.]]

===Tokarev SVT-40===

[[Image:TopShotE1SVT401.png|thumb|none|600px|CGI animation of the SVT-40.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE1SVT402.png|thumb|none|600px|SVT-40 used by Craig Sawyer when he demonstrates the course of fire.]]
 
 
 
===M14===
 
A [[M14]] is used along with the Spingfield, the Mosin Nagant and the SVT-40 during the first challenge. This is most likely just a civilian M1A instead of the fully automatic M14.
 
[[Image:M14Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M14 rifle 7.62x51mm NATO]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE1M141.png|thumb|none|600px|CGI animation of the M14.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE1M142.png|thumb|none|600px|M14 used by Bill during practice. Mosin Nagant resting in the background.]]
 
 
 
===Remington 700===
 
The [[Remington 700|Remington 700P]] is utilized by Mike and Kelly during the first elimination challenge where they had to shoot explosive reactive targets at 200, 400 and 600 yards.
 
[[Image:RemingtonPSS700.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Remington 700P 7.62x51mm NATO with Harris bipod.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE1Rem7004.png|thumb|none|600px|CGI animation of the Remington 700. Notice the again oversized trigger and trigger guard.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE1Rem7001.png|thumb|none|600px|Kelly using the Remington 700P during the practice session. Notice how Kelly uses a grip prevalent in the long range competition shooting world which he competes in, while Mike chooses to wrap his thumb around the stock.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE1Rem7002.png|thumb|none|600px|Mike shooting the Remington 700P during practice. Notice how he chose to utilize the bipod folded on top of the sandbags.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE1Rem7006.png|thumb|none|600px|Kelly shooting the Remington 700P during practice. Notice how Kelly utilizes the bipod instead of the sandbags. Ex-Navy SEAL Craig Sawyer spots for both Kelly and Mike during practice.]]
 
 
 
===Unknown Lever Actions===
 
Several unknown lever action rifles (among others) are shown on gun racks throughout the series.
 
[[Image:TopShotE1Lever1.png|thumb|none|600px|The unknown lever actions.]]
 
[[Image:TopShotE1Lever2.png|thumb|none|600px|Two unknown lever actions, what appears to be a muzzleloader below and an unknown weapon on top.]]
 
Would guess the two lever guns are Henry 1860's and a Sharps rifle on the bottom. Gunner313
