The goon's M1911 gets stuck on a magnet when MacGyver uses one to pick up a attache case the goon was guarding. The goon recovers it and continues to chase MacGyver. Later, when the real episode starts in Burma, it is used by the villianous Truang ([[Benjamin Lum]]), Gen. Narai's right hand man. It's mostly seen in his holster, but he draws it out when MacGyver starts causing commotion in the camp. He loses it when MacGyver rams a truck to a shed he is hiding in. When Truang's envoy returns to the village, he has aquired a new one. When MacGyver stops the envoy to taunt them, Truang pulls his M1911 and shoots at MacGyver. The M1911 Truang fires a real one, as it ejects casings and gunsmoke. | ||

The [[Heckler & Koch P9S]] has a notable number of appearances. In the early seasons (that is 1-3), it frequently appears as the gun of choice of most villians and their underlings.

Rashly acting Barbara Spencer ([[Darlanne Fluegel]]) rushes at Steubens, trying to grab the gun, and gets shot.

==Valmet M71S== | |||
In "Pilot" (S1E01), Central Asian soldiers as well as MacGyver ([[Richard Dean Anderson]]) are seen using the [[Valmet_Assault_Rifle_Series#Valmet_M71|Valmet M71S]], standing in for AKM. All of these rifles appear to have 30-round .223 pre-ban metal magazines. Based on the shape of the stock, these are plastic handguard/resin-stock variants. | |||

==Norinco Type 56 (mocked up as AKM)== | |||
[[Norinco Type 56]] with a AKM-style slant cut muzzle break has multiple appearances in the series. This rifle appears when a person within a show needs to fire a live AK-type rifle on screen, as there is muzzle flash and ejecting casings coming from this rifle. | |||
* '''"Pilot" (S1E01)''' - When MacGyver ([[Richard Dean Anderson]]) goes to seek a missile that's hidden in a tent, a noticeable continuity error occurs, as the Valmet M71 he carried in previous scene has changed to a [[AKM]]. He later uses the AKM as part of a MacGyver'ed distraction to allow MacGyver to get the captured fighter pilot escape from a cage. <br> Most peculiarly, MacGyver - who is later established as a very anti-gun person - opens fire towards chasing soldiers to fend them off. ''The reason for the uncharacteristically casual way he handles firearms in the pilot episode is exactly because this is the pilot episode. So details like MacGyver's backstory and aversion of firearms were merely in flux, depending on whatever the show would get picked up by a tv network or not.'' He later gives the AKM to prisoner while he starts to work on the escape plan. | |||

The following weapons were used in Season 1 of the television series The A-Team:

Colt Mk IV Series 70
Colt Mk IV Series 70 appears to be the dominant M1911 appearing in the season. Has multiple appearances.
- "The Golden Triangle" (S1E02). In the opening gambit, a goon in a junkyard has a M1911A1 with a supressor. The goon's M1911 gets stuck on a magnet when MacGyver uses one to pick up a attache case the goon was guarding. The goon recovers it and continues to chase MacGyver. Later, when the real episode starts in Burma, it is used by the villianous Truang (Benjamin Lum), Gen. Narai's right hand man. It's mostly seen in his holster, but he draws it out when MacGyver starts causing commotion in the camp. He loses it when MacGyver rams a truck to a shed he is hiding in. When Truang's envoy returns to the village, he has aquired a new one. When MacGyver stops the envoy to taunt them, Truang pulls his M1911 and shoots at MacGyver. The M1911 Truang fires a real one, as it ejects casings and gunsmoke.

Heckler & Koch P9S
The Heckler & Koch P9S has a notable number of appearances. In the early seasons (that is 1-3), it frequently appears as the gun of choice of most villians and their underlings. It is substituted by the Taurus PT92 and/or Beretta 92F during seasons 4-7, when the production moved to Canada.
- "Last Stand" (S1E07) - Used by a goon named Elias (Anthony Pena)

He keeps MacGyver and Dr. Marlowe at bay while they have conversation about Dr. Steubens' motives. Rashly acting Barbara Spencer (Darlanne Fluegel) rushes at Steubens, trying to grab the gun, and gets shot. Startled Steubens drops his guard and next MacGyver rushes in and succeeds in disarming him.
Smith & Wesson Model 64
Appears in "The Golden Triangle" (S1E02). Smith & Wesson Model 64 is used by two goons in opening gambit that takes place in the junkyard. When MacGyver starts causing a ruckus, the goons draw their weapons. Both of their S&W Model 64(s) have a suppressor attached.
Smith & Wesson Model 28
In "Flame's End" (S1E13), MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) takes the frame of a Smith & Wesson Model 28 to remove a bolt from a leaking pipe.
Rifles and Carbines
Valmet M71S
In "Pilot" (S1E01), Central Asian soldiers as well as MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) are seen using the Valmet M71S, standing in for AKM. All of these rifles appear to have 30-round .223 pre-ban metal magazines. Based on the shape of the stock, these are plastic handguard/resin-stock variants.
Norinco Type 56 (mocked up as AKM)
Norinco Type 56 with a AKM-style slant cut muzzle break has multiple appearances in the series. This rifle appears when a person within a show needs to fire a live AK-type rifle on screen, as there is muzzle flash and ejecting casings coming from this rifle.
- "Pilot" (S1E01) - When MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) goes to seek a missile that's hidden in a tent, a noticeable continuity error occurs, as the Valmet M71 he carried in previous scene has changed to a AKM. He later uses the AKM as part of a MacGyver'ed distraction to allow MacGyver to get the captured fighter pilot escape from a cage.
Most peculiarly, MacGyver - who is later established as a very anti-gun person - opens fire towards chasing soldiers to fend them off. The reason for the uncharacteristically casual way he handles firearms in the pilot episode is exactly because this is the pilot episode. So details like MacGyver's backstory and aversion of firearms were merely in flux, depending on whatever the show would get picked up by a tv network or not. He later gives the AKM to prisoner while he starts to work on the escape plan. - "Golden Triangle" (S1E02) - Appears in hands of one the villagers when they prepare for Gen. Narai's counterattack.
