With the season 3 finale of AMC’s The Walking Dead taking place, lets take a look back on the arsenal of firearms and crossbows used by Rick Grimes and his group of survivors. All three seasons have featured some very cool weapons used in the episodes. For more information on firearms in film and television check out the Internet Movie Firearms Database.
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
SEASON ONE
Revolvers
Colt Python
Deputy Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) carries a six-inch barreled Colt Python .357 Magnum revolver as his duty sidearm in the series. He is seen using the revolver prominently in the series premiere “Days Gone Bye” (S1E01). Of note is that when Grimes fires the gun in a very tight, enclosed space (in this case, inside a tank), it actually severely disorients him and hurts his hearing, unlike most movies or shows that have people firing guns indoors or in other enclosed spaces without being fazed. Grimes notably uses the revolver twice in Season 1, wielding it in “Wildfire” (S1E05) and once again fires it as the group flee the CDC in Season 1’s finale “TS-19” (S1E06).

The unique curved ejector shroud on a Taurus Model 85 is barely noticeable in the photos below. Most likely if it is not a Taurus Model 85, it could possibly be a Ruger SP101. More in the Discussion page.

Pistols
Glock 17
A Glock 17 was one of the sidearms of the police in the first episode. One of the deputies was told by Grimes to have a round chambered and also (incorrectly) to make sure the safety was off. A Glock 17 is also taken by Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) from Rick’s gun bag to confront the Vatos in in “Vatos” (S1E04). Shane Walsh (Jon Bernthal) carries one as well as his duty sidearm, and is seen carrying it at the end of “Vatos” (S1E04). In “TS-19” (S1E06), Shane is seen firing the pistol when they are fleeing the CDC headquarters when he takes a shot on a zombie as they make a break for the vehicles. It can also be seen in Shane’s hands in the opening flashback of the same episode in the hospital.

Beretta 92FS
Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) takes a Beretta 92FS (standing in for a U.S. Military-issue M9) from a dead soldier inside a tank in the end of the series premiere “Days Gone Bye” (S1E01). In “Guts” (S1E02), Rick identifies on the radio that the pistol is a Beretta with “15 rounds in the clip”. He fires it until dry then stores it in Glenn’s Backpack. In the opening flashback of “TS-19” (S1E06), Shane witnesses soldiers using Berettas to execute infected people in the hospital where Rick laid comatose in during the initial outbreak. One of the soldiers in the hospital flashback in “TS-19” (S1E06) uses a Non Gun Beretta 92FS when he’s finishing off the bodies with a shot to the head.
Beretta 92FS – 9x19mm
Rick holds the Beretta taken off a dead soldier in “Days Gone Bye” (S1E01).
Closeup of the Beretta held by Rick in “Guts” (S1E02).
A soldier uses a flashpaper Beretta on the bodies. This was probably done due to the enclosed space that the weapon was used in as well as for the safety of the extras on the floor, since the gun fires several times near them. Also, its appearance is relatively brief, so there probably wasn’t a need for a real blank firearm.
Smith & Wesson 3913 “Ladysmith”
Andrea (Laurie Holden) is first seen with a Smith & Wesson 3913 “Ladysmith” in “Guts” (S1E02). She later in the episode hands the pistol to Glenn (Steven Yeun) for his own protection when he and Rick make their way to the escape van, he does not fire it in the escape though. Andrea uses it in “Wildfire” (S1E05) to put her sister Amy down after she comes back as a walker.

Andrea pulls the Ladysmith on Rick in “Wildfire” (S1E05). She quips: I know how the safety works, referring to when Rick corrected her on it.
Browning BDA
Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) is seen with what appears to be a Browning BDA during the standoff in “Vatos” (S1E04). The handgun in the front of his waistband is definitely not the Glock he loaded earlier on which is in the back of his waistband at the small of his back. Unlike the Glock, this pistol also has an external hammer. It seems to also have a different rear sight than the SIG featured in the earlier loading scene.

Shotguns
Mossberg 590
In “Days Gone Bye” (S1E01), a Mossberg 590 is first seen during a flashback being used by Rick’s partner, Shane Walsh (Jon Bernthal) during the shootout with the suspects in the overturned vehicle just before Rick is wounded in the line of duty. The shotgun is fitted with an extended magazine tube, heat-shield, collapsible KNOXX SpecOps NRS stock with pistol grip. It appears again later in Shane’s possession at the survivor camp and can notably be seen being used by Shane on the attacking Walkers at the camp in “Vatos” (S1E04). In “Wildfire” (S1E05), Shane is seen with the shotgun when he and Rick Grimes patrol the woods. Shane also loses his cool when trapped in the CDC Headquarters in the Season 1 finale “TS-19” (S1E06) and uses it to blow up some computer monitors but later uses it in an attempt to bust the glass to escape the CDC which fails. Once outside, Shane uses the Mossberg to blast down walkers as the group runs to the vehicles.

Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) can first be seen using the Mossberg 500 in “Vatos” (S1E04), as it was packed in his bag of guns from the police station he dropped in the series premiere. He uses this shotgun from the bag in the standoff with the Vatos and ends up giving it to their leader, Guillermo (Neil Brown Jr.) after the Vatos turn out to be doing a good thing.

In “Days Gone Bye” (S1E01), a Remington 870 Wingmaster shotgun is briefly seen in the house Rick stops at. In the same episode, Rick also has one stashed in his bag of guns he got from the police station locker, the shotgun sports a walnut stock, a barrel without the raised barrel vent rib and possibly a shorter 20″ Barrel, it ends up with Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) during the “switch” with the Vatos in S01E04. Daryl continues to carry it along with his crossbow in “Wildfire” (S1E05) when the group arrives at the CDC and still has it in the opening of “TS-19” (S1E06).

In “Vatos” (S1E04), Dale fires it on the walkers during the attack and carries it to the CDC. In “TS-19” (S1E06), it appears that T-Dog (IronE Singleton) is carrying the rifle as the group flees the CDC and even fires it at least once.

Morgan uses it to brush up on his marksmanship skills from the second story window of his hideout. To note when he is setting up to kill his wife (yet he is unable to bring himself to do so.) He takes an I.D. Photo and sets it up like a hide sight giving us a possibility of being a sniper in the past.

Assault Rifles
M4A1
M4A1 assault rifles can be seen abandoned with several dead soldiers and other military personnel around the CDC Headquarters in “Wildfire” (S1E05). US soldiers appear to be armed with M4A1’s in the opening of “TS-19” (S1E06) when Shane witnesses the execution of infected people inside the hospital. An M4A1 is also carried by Dr. Edwin Jenner (Noah Emmerich) later in the same episode when he first confronts the group he allowed inside.

Machine Guns
Browning M2HB
In “Days Gone Bye” (S1E01), a mockup of a Browning M2HB is seen mounted atop a British Chieftain tank (presumably standing in for an M1 Abrams) in which Grimes takes refuge. Similar M2HBs mockups are also seen on Bell UH-1 “Huey” helicopters and on a IAV Stryker in the episode. What appears to be an authentic M2HB is seen in the foreground as Rick passes the tank on horseback.
Browning M2HB – .50 BMG
At the beginning of “Days Gone Bye” (S1E01), a mockup of a Browning M2HB is seen mounted on a Bell UH-1 “Huey” helicopter that Rick stumbles upon.
Rick passes the tank in “Days Gone Bye” (S1E01). The fake M2HB is visible on the hatch, with a real M2HB in the foreground. As seems common for Chieftains standing in for other tanks, the thermal sleeve has been removed from the L11A5 L/55 120mm rifled cannon. This appears to be a Mark 11 tank, mounting the “Stillbrew” bolt-on armor package for the driver’s position and turret, and minus the .50 cal coaxial ranging machine gun and the large infrared searchlight box on the left hand side of the turret.
A closeup of the mounting; note that the mounting is designed for the L7 GPMG, an FN MAG derivative, and the fake M2 simply sits on top of it. Compare to the real M2 in the foreground of the shot above.
DShK
In “Wildfire” (S1E05), a DShK heavy machine gun is seen in a machine gun next outside the CDC in Atlanta. Likely a mocked-up Browning M2.
A Russian DShKM on Tripod – 12.7x108mm
In “Wildfire” (S1E05), a DShK heavy machine gun is seen in a machine gun next outside the CDC in Atlanta. Note the dead soldier with the M1911A1 on the far right. Trivia note: The building seen here is actually the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Center. The collection of buildings that are the actual Centers for Disease Control don’t lend themselves to film crews running around for obvious reasons.
Other Weapons
M67 Hand Grenade (M69 Training version)
In “Guts” (S1E02), Rick (Andrew Lincoln) takes an M69 Hand Grenade (The inert training version of the live M67 grenade) from a tank and stores it in his pocket. It can be noted as an M69 not only by the inherent likelihood of it being so but also because it is seen in some shots with a bit of the blue paint showing through the over painted OD green color.
M69 training grenade – an inert version of the M67 High-Explosive Fragmentation hand grenade. The real live version has a more brownish color and has painted factory markings on the body.
Closeup of the grenade taken by Rick in “Guts” (S1E02). Note that the spoon appears to be painted blue.
Horton Scout Crossbow

Horton Scout HD 125
The Horton Scout HD 125 is held by Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) in “Vatos” (S1E04).
Rick’s Bag of Guns
In “Days Gone Bye” (S1E01), Rick (Andrew Lincoln) is seen ransacking the sheriff’s station armory and throughout the first season is seen with a duffle bag of guns. Later in the episode, he is seen having to abandon this bag when attacked by swarm of walkers. For the majority of the time in the premiere episode, the shotguns sticking out of the bag appear to be foam props. Later in the season, the bag ends up in the hands and used by fellow survivors in the group or himself, or given away. Inside the bag up to episode 4 is six shotguns, two high-powered rifles, a dozen handguns, and seven hundred rounds of ammunition, assorted. So far the current count from the bag is Harrington & Richardson Pardner Pump Compact,Mossberg 500, Mossberg 500 Persuader, two Remington 870s, Browning Automatic Rifle Safari, Remington 700, Glock 17 (possibly more than one), SIG-Sauer P226, Smith & Wesson Model 10 snub-nose, and a Colt Trooper.

In “Days Gone Bye” (S1E01), Rick with the guns. Judging by the amount of firearms seen, his pack in reality should weigh around 70 pounds.
In “Days Gone Bye” (S1E01), Closeup of the shotguns. The one with the brown pump action appears to be a Remington 870 and the black one immediately underneath it appears to be a Mossberg. The dull surface of the barrels make these shotguns likely to be rubber props.
In “Days Gone Bye” (S1E01), the shotguns seen here are obvious lightweight props (note the filled-in barrels).
SEASON TWO
Revolvers
Colt Python
Deputy Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) carries a six-inch barreled Colt Python .357 Magnum revolver as his duty sidearm in the series. In “Bloodletting” (S2E02), Rick hands his Python off to Otis (Pruitt Taylor Vince) to take on a dangerous mission with Shane for medical supplies for a wounded Carl. Otis fires it in the following episode “Save the Last One” (S2E03) at zombies as they attempt escape from the school. In “Chupacabra” (S2E05), Rick draws it again at a supposed Walker. In “Pretty Much Dead Already” (S2E07), Rick is finally seen firing his Python for the first time in Season 2. He then uses the revolver in a confrontation with two threatening survivors at the bar in “Nebraska” (S2E08). Following an unfortunate accident in “Judge, Jury, Executioner” (S2E11), Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) uses Rick’s revolver to put down a mortally wounded member of the group when Rick can’t. Rick then fires it to save Herschel’s life in Season 2’s finale “Beside a Dying Fire” (S2E13).

Colt Detective Special
In the Season 2 premiere “What Lies Ahead” (S2E01), Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) takes a Colt Detective Special revolver from a dead body he discovered in a tent in the woods after the group comes across it. He later gives it to Lori Grimes (Sarah Wayne Callies) who carries it in her back pocket. Andrea (Laurie Holden) gets mad about the fact she can’t have a gun due to a suicide attempt last season and Lori is tired of hearing it so she gives her the revolver and gives the group a stern talking to. After that Andrea gives the revolver back to Lori. Shane tries to give Carl the Colt again in “Pretty Much Dead Already” (S2E07), but Lori intervenes. In “Nebraska” (S2E08), Lori takes the Colt with her for protection to go find Rick in town and fires it in self-defense from a zombie in the following episode “Triggerfinger” (S2E09). Lori fires her Colt again multiple times at walkers in Season 2’s finale “Beside the Dying Fire” (S2E13).

The revolver is then used by Darryl in Season 2’s finale “Beside the Dying Fire” (S2E13).
Non gun
In “Secrets” (S2E06), Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs) swipes what is supposed to be a Colt Detective Special from inside the RV and after it is discovered under his shirt he is scolded but ultimately permitted to attend a target practice session. Carl later is seen firing off a round from the revolver under Rick’s supervision. Due to the potential danger of using a blank-firing weapon by such a young actor, it appears that the weapon used was a rubber prop molded off a blank-firing Bruni Olympic 6 revolver and the muzzle flash was added in post-production.

Pistols
Glock 17
A Glock 17 continues to be used in Season 2. Shane can be seen cleaning his disassembled Glock 17 in “What Lies Ahead” (S2E01). Later, Andrea is seen trying to assemble Shane’s Glock, but is interrupted by a stray ‘walker’. Shane uses his Glock extensively in “Save the Last One” (S2E03) to escape the school with the medical supplies. He fires it again while trying to train Andrea in firearms in “Secrets” (S2E06) and to escape the housing development alive. Also in “Secrets”, Jimmy (James Allen McCune) and T-Dog (IronE Singleton) also fire a Glock during target practice. Rick (Andrew Lincoln) also briefly checks the Glock from the bag of guns after to make sure all guns are unloaded which shows there are at least two Glocks in the inventory because Shane always has one. T-Dog & Shane both fire Glock 17s during the end of “Pretty Much Dead Already” (S2E07) to put down multiple Walkers escaping Hershel’s barn. In “18 Miles Out” (S2E10), while at the Mert County Public Service site, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) acquires two Glock 17s from two infected Mert County Deputies (who he and Shane killed) when his Python runs out of bullets. He later uses one of the Glocks to rescue Shane from a hoard of walkers. In Season 2’s finale “Beside the Dying Fire” (S2E13), Rick uses T-Dog’s Glock extensively in the farm siege to put down many walkers. One of the group’s Glocks was lost when a member of the group hid it. Another Glock was lost after the death of the member carrying it, and the destruction of the vehicle the member was in. Andrea is seen checking the magazine of the Glock she gets from Rick’s bag of guns in “Beside a Dying Fire” (S2E13).

In “Secrets” (S2E06), Andrea (Laurie Holden) uses the Beretta in a target practice lesson after Shane recommends the pistol for her because of its larger frame, better balance, and twice the capacity. She excels with it and uses it to gun down Walkers in the housing development they search later in the episode. Andrea once again uses the Beretta on the walkers escaping Hershel’s barn in “Pretty Much Dead Already” (S2E07) and while in the woods in “Beside the Dying Fire” (S2E13).

Andrea fires it well during a target practice session in “Secrets” (S2E06) before switching to a Beretta by the recommendation of Shane.

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. In “Walk with Me” (S3E03), M4A1’s are carried by the Woodbury guards as well as Georgia Army National Guard soldiers, Merle (Michael Rooker) also fires one fitted with a makeshift suppressor. Other M4A1s seen in the series so far include at least one with an M203 grenade launcher attached, one fitted with a makeshift suppressor in use by the Woodbury guards, and flattop M4s used by the National Guard survivors. Rick (Andrew Lincoln) is seen using the M4A1 in “Made to Suffer” (S3E08) and both him and Maggie are seen firing it in “The Suicide King” (S3E09). Michonne (Danai Gurira) uses the rifle in “Home” (S3E10). Hershel is seen wielding an M4 in “Arrow on the Doorpost” (S3E13).

AKMS
Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) is seen firing an AKMS-type rifle from a prison watchtower in “Seed” (S3E01). The rifle appears to be fitted with rails at the top as well as a tactical handguard. Like the M4 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. In “When the Dead Come Knocking” (S3E07), Oscar loads the AKMS along with several other weapons into a car trunk and later Daryl (Norman Reedus) can be seen carrying it. Daryl is seen using the AKMS in “Made to Suffer” (S3E08). When he is captured, it is confiscated along with his crossbow. When he is rescued in “The Suicide King” (S3E09), the rifle is not recovered. In “Prey” (S3E14), Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green) is seen carrying this weapon while guarding the Woodbury wall with Tyreese. Allen (Daniel Thomas Ray) holds the rifle in “This Sorrowful Life” (S3E15).

Steyr AUG A1
The Governor opens fire with a Steyr AUG A1 in “Home” (S3E01). Despite his right eye being useless, he still fires right-handed instead of left. The weapon is likely meant to be a full-auto conversion of an AUG SA, a semi-automatic variant of the A1 which was imported to the US for civilian use before being banned in 1989. Fully-automatic AUGs are extremely rare in the United States, as they are not military issue and are not used by any law enforcement entities apart from US Customs and Immigration Enforcement. The civilian variant of the AUG is the AUG A3 SA which has a newer design than the A1.
