<p>141.101.105.205: </p> <hr /> <div>The wikipedia article mentioned in the comic no longer exists, but an old version of it is still viewable here: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_problems_solved_by_MacGyver&amp;oldid=258219690 List of problems solved by MacGyver] [[Special:Contributions/75.186.140.173|75.186.140.173]] 23:39, 18 April 2013 (UTC)<br /> <br /> The explanation: &quot;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.&quot;<br /> 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.<br /> [[Special:Contributions/173.245.56.210|173.245.56.210]] 16:36, 1 April 2015 (UTC)<br /> <br /> And there is no mention of murdoc...[[Special:Contributions/141.101.105.205|141.101.105.205]]</div>
