The wikipedia article mentioned in the comic no longer exists, but an old version of it is still viewable here: List of problems solved by MacGyver 75.186.140.173 23:39, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

The explanation: "MacGyver was adamantly against the use of guns and never used one (at least, not for its intended purpose) in the entire run of the series." Is wrong. In the pilot episode, MacGyver rescues a downed pilot from hostile soldiers. He first uses a captured gun as a distraction, then another one to actually fire at approaching soldiers (As is required at the time, but he hands the gun off to the wounded man as fast as possible, showing his dislike for them. He also does not use the gun for the intended purpose (To kill), but blind fires at the ground to stop the guards and force them to take cover.) 173.245.56.210 16:36, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

And there is no mention of murdoc...141.101.105.205

The 2016 version, starring Lucas Till is also fun. It's particularly good because it shows Mac with a team of friends instead of being a loner. Jelsemium (talk) 23:29, 13 December 2017 (UTC) Jelsemium.
