Season 1

Pistols

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.

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.

Bill using the "overlapping thumbs" grip. Notice hammer almost dropped on the firing pin.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mike using the "thumbs forward" grip. This is considered to be the most modern technique, achieving maximum recoil control. Note 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.

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.

Zastava CZ99 - 9x19mm - Though not identical, the TZ99 is a very similar SIG-Sauer P226 clone.

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. - Gunmaster45

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
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.
