MacGyver: What You Didn’t Know About The Classic Show

MacGyver Uses Guns, But Only Twice

One of MacGyver’s distinctive traits was that he didn’t use firearms. This made the show that much more interesting because he couldn’t rely on weapons and was forced to improved creative solutions. However, MacGyver did use a gun in two different instances on the show.

In the pilot episode, MacGyver is seen shooting an automatic weapon. Then, later in the show’s first season, he smashes the barrel out of a gun and uses the remaining piece as a makeshift hand wrench—which is pretty much the most MacGyver-y thing ever, right?
