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.

The M1911A1 is used throughout Season 2, notably by Archangel (Alex Cord) in "Fallen Angel" (S2E07).
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. In Season 2's "Short Walk to Freedom" (S2E22), Hawke is seen with the rifle.
The "Fake MP5", the Heckler & Koch HK94 converted to full auto fire and with a shortened barrel is used in the series. This version was used in many films and television series during the 1980s and 1990s.
