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.
From season 2 onwards the phrase "chain gun" was not used to describe the machine guns, as the production team had been advised it was a registered trademark of McDonnell Douglas.
