The following weapons were featured in Season 1 of the television series Airwolf:
According to the computer readout seen during Season 1, Airwolf's offensive weapons include 40mm Cannons and .50 caliber Chain Guns mounted on each side in addition to its rocket pods. The machine guns were shown to have telescoping barrels, which allowed them to be stowed away when the helicopter configured itself to fly supersonic.
The Walther PPK is carried by various characters throughout the series.
Nagant M1895
Airwolf's designer Dr. Charles Moffett (David Hemmings) uses a Nagant M1895 to try and destroy Airwolf in the pilot episode "Shadow of the Hawke" (S1E01).
Rifles/Carbines
Valmet M71S
As what was common for productions in the 1970's and 1980's, the Valmet M71S rifle is seen used as a substitute for the AK-47.
Valmet M76F
The Valmet M76 is used throughout Season 1, notably by Cuban forces in "Mad Over Miami" (S1E08) and Limbawe forces in "And They Are Us" (S1E09).
Hawke takes a Ruger AC556K off a Libyan soldier and uses it in the pilot episode "Shadow of the Hawke" (S1E01). The rifle is seen throughout Season 1.
Ruger AC556
A Ruger AC556 with a full stock is seen in several episodes. A Ruger with the factory folder stock is used by Philip Maurice (Henry Darrow) in "One Way Express" (S1E05).
The MAC-11 is used notably by Hawke in the pilot episode "Shadow of the Hawke" (S1E01).
Machine Guns
DShK Machine Gun (Modified M60D)
An M60D mocked up to resemble the DShk machine gun (first seen in Red Dawn) is seen used by Cuban forces in "Mad Over Miami" (S1E08).
Browning M1919A4 .30 Caliber Machine Gun
The Browning M1919A4 .30 caliber machine gun is shown extensively in the series, sometimes mocked up to resemble more Soviet Bloc machine guns.

The Browning M2 heavy machine gun is also seen in the series.
Degtyaryov DP-28

Other
RPG-7
An RPG-7 is seen used by various enemy forces throughout the series, most likely the same mockup used in the films Red Dawn (filmed only a year before the series went into production) and Rambo: First Blood Part II. In "Mad Over Miami" (S1E08), the launcher is depicted as firing guided missiles.
