McHale's Navy was a World War II television comedy series that aired from 1962-1966 on ABC and starred Ernest Borgnine as Lt. Commander Quinton McHale and followed the antics of him and the crew of the PT Boat he commanded. The crew of the PT-73 consists of Ensign Charles Parker (Tim Conway), Lester Gruber (Carl Ballantine), George "Christy" Christopher (Gary Vinson), "Tinker" Bell (Billy Sands), Virgil Edwards (Edson Stroll), Willy Moss (John Wright), and Happy (Gavin MacLeod) (Seasons 1 and 2). Fuji Kobiaji (Yoshio Yoda) is a Japanese Sailor who deserted from the Imperial Japanese Navy, then befriended the PT-73 crew. Captain Wallace B. Binghamton (Joe Flynn) and Lt. Elroy Carpenter (Bob Hastings) are the constant antagonists of McHale and his crew. Seasons 1-3 are set on and around the fictional island of Taratupa in the South Pacific in 1943. Season 4 is set in and around the fictional town of Voltafiore, Italy in 1944.
The following weapons were used in the series McHale's Navy:
Ensign Parker carries a suppressed Smith & Wesson Model 10 in one episode. Capt. Binghamton, Lt. Cmdr. McHale, and Ensign Parker are seen with nickel-plated Model 10s.
Willy, Virgil and Christy carry unidentified revolvers in one episode.

Flintlock Dueling Pistols
Count Cesare Spinetti (David Opatoshu) and Ensign Parker use matching flintlock dueling pistols.
Ensign Parker, Happy, Gruber, Willy and a gangster carry M1928A1 Thompsons with a 50-round drum magazine. Capt. Binghamton and Lt. Carpenter carry Thompsons with 30-round box magazines.
Ensign Parker uses a Madsen M50 in several episodes. The Madsen M50 was manufactured beginning in 1950, hence it is an anachronism. In one episode, Lt. Cmdr. McHale and Ensign Parker carry M50s with perforated barrel shrouds, to simulate some type of German submachine gun.
In Seasons 1-3, the M1 Garand is seen in the hands of Lt. Cmdr. McHale, the Navy Shore Patrol and Marines. In Season 4, Army soldiers and Military Police are equipped with the M1 Garand.
The M1 Carbine is a common weapon carried by the crew of PT-73, Lt. Cmdr. McHale, and Capt. Binghamton. In Season 1-3, Marines carry M1s, and in Season 4, Army soldiers carry M1s.
In Season 4, German soldiers are seen armed with the Karabiner 98k. The PT-73 crew occasionally carry them as well.
