Latest revision as of 19:27, 28 July 2023

Added the Remington 700, Colt Lawman MK III, Federal M201-Z and a close-up of Col. Decker wielding the MAC-10. If I misidentified any of the weapons feel free to make the necessary corrections -- User:Milkovich 09:36, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Hannibal used a nickel S&W Auto? Huh? Is someone mistaking a Browning Hi-Power for a S&W or is this some other gun he might have used at some point (the Hi-Power was his go to sidearm) that is being referred to?

Hannibal carried a chrome S&W 639(or 39) in his waist band or holster but when he's shown shooting a hand gun its nearly always a Browning HP. But because of the rivalry between Peppard and Mr. T, Peppard is the only actor seen using an M60 machine gun while Mr. T is seen to be using the chrome S&W auto.--The Mercenary 18:07, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Maybe you guys should rewatch the series. They still show it in my city. At the beginnnig of the series, Hannibal carrid a Browning Hi-Power, later on, he switches to a Smith & Wesson 63p. B.A. carried a full sized Star handgun, not sure of the exact model.

About Done

I finished adding the weapons featured in Seasons 2, 3 and 4. I´ll add those missing from Seasons 1 and 5 tomorrow if I get around to it. There is still the one revolver at the bottom of this discussion page to identify.

Alright. This is almost it. The UZI carbine still needs a screencap and I got two more weapons which have to be identified. I will add them to the bottom of this page later. -- User:Milkovich 10:50, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Just tried to replace one of the old screencaps, but the site wont let me. -- User:Milkovich 18:51, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Unknown Smith & Wesson

Hannibal used a nickel S&W Classic auto for almost the whole show...it may have been a 539, but I don't know.

Given the difficulty determining single or double stack, the following could have been his S&W pistol:

Model 439 Model 539 Model 639 Model 459 Model 559 Model 659

No, it was definitely a single-stack model. The way you can tell the difference is by looking for the bulges in the frame (represented by vertical lines) that indicate where the frame was widened to take a double-stack magazine. If it doesn't have those, it's a single-stack model, and Hannibal's gun definitely didn't have them. I'm pretty sure it was a 539.

+Holy Cow!  Hannibal is holding one of the EARLY MODEL Maadi ARMs with the nice linseed oiled wood furniture and the nice finish.  They stopped making good ones in the mid 1980s but this one screams 1983! :) LOL.  Brings back the days.

+I just found an older screenshot of Peck, and I am not so sure any more that the revolver I previously identified as a Lawman is really that.
+[[Image:WUCBRR Rev.jpg|thumb|none|300px|]]
+Could someone confirm my first identification? --[[User:Milkovich|Milkovich]] 19:14, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
+==Remember all Flintlocks are not rifles==
+Rifles only refer to rifled barrels.  Many of the longs guns "Brown Bess" "French Charleville Musket - 1766 Model Flintlock", etc were all SMOOTHBORE Long guns, there was no rifling at all in their barrels.  When in doubt use the term Flintlock or perhaps Flintlock long guns, but it looks weird when the term rifle is used and the gun is later identified to be a smooth bore musket. :)  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 19:20, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
+: Alright, fixed it. Thanks. --[[User:Milkovich|Milkovich]] 11:17, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
+::Actually, that wasn't a flintlock. It was a Civil War era Springfield 1861 (or possibly an 1855, but you can't tell without a better look at the lock), and it's a percussion lock. Flintlocks have a big flash pan and striking surface ("frizzen") in front of the "hammer" (actually called the cock) which has big vice grips for a actual piece of flint. - [[User:Nyles|Nyles]]
+== Beretta 92 ==
+[[Image:A Team S4 M9.jpg|thumb|none|300px|]]
+This is not a Beretta 92; it has the slide-mounted safety/decocker.  Therefore, it's either a Beretta 92SB or a 92F. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 13:04, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
+:I'd go with 92SB, season 5 aired in '86, the 92F was released in '85 and filming is usually a few months prior to airing. It looks to me like it has wood grips which is sometimes seen on the 92F's but more on the SB and older 92's. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 13:25, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

+==Beretta BM59==
+The [[A-Team, The#FN FAL|FN FAL]] entry on the page says that the FALs are being used by the Italian Navy in the episode "Judgment Day, Pt. 2" because the [[Beretta BM59]] was unavailable in the U.S. Actually, a civilian version of the BM59 was released in the U.S., and our page for [[Miami Vice - Season 2#Beretta BM59|Miami Vice - Season 2]] documents a BM59 appearance, which would suggest that movie armorers purchased some of them.  I am guessing that in the case of ''The A-Team'', the problem was simply that the armorers couldn't get a BM59 at the time the episode was filmed. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 08:50, 22 June 2011 (CDT)

+== Ingram SMG ==
+The picture with Murdock holding the SMG cant be an Ingram. It looks nothing like the Ingram Model 6. Too small of a reciever and too big of a barrel, also it looks like it has a Thompson SMG stock. Gunner5
+== M1 Carbine ==
+Recently, I started watching episodes of the "The A-Team" on Hulu. In season one, episode eleven, ("One More Time") it seemed to me that many of the guerrillas in Borneo were armed with M1 carbines. Some of the M1 carbines in this episode had bayonet lugs, while some others did not, and a few of them had those rod-like Owens telescopic stocks.
+I noticed that the M1 carbine is missing from the list of rifles on the main page. Could somebody please add this one? Thanks! --[[User:Kepiblanc|Kepiblanc]] 10:26, 19 December 2011 (CST)

+:Yes, three of the guerrillas in this still frame appear to be armed with M1 carbines. The guerrilla furthest to the right appears to be armed an M1 carbine which has a bayonet lug, while the guerrilla second from the left appears to be armed an M1 carbine which does not have a bayonet lug. The guerrilla in between these two appears to be armed with an M1 carbine which has an Owens telescopic stock. The guerrilla furthest to the left appears to be armed with some other type of rifle that I cannot quite identify from this angle. --[[User:Kepiblanc|Kepiblanc]] 10:36, 19 December 2011 (CST)
