Revision as of 11:40, 1 July 2010
The A-Team is an American action television series that aired on NBC from 1983-1988. The show followed the adventures of a US Special Forces team who were convicted of a military crime they didn't commit. After escaping from a maximum security prison, they survive as soldiers of fortune in the Los Angeles underground. The show was known for its numerous gunfights where nearly no one was shot, and for its car chases where everyone is able to get out of their vehicles even after they experienced spectacular crashes. A theatrical adaptation of the show starring Liam Neeson was released in 2010.
The following weapons were used in the television series The A-Team:
Handguns
Beretta 92
Only seen during the Season 5 episode "The Theory Of Revolution", when the A-Team show General Stockwell just how many weapons they managed to smuggle into the farmhouse without his security detail noticing.
Browning Hi-Power
The Browning Hi-Power is one of the handguns frequently used by Col. John "Hannibal" Smith, most notably in Season 1's "Black Day at Bad Rock".
Colt Detective Special
Primarily used by Hannibal (George Peppard) during Season 2.
Colt M1911
The M1911 and many variants are carried at various times by A-Team members, U.S. Military Police pursuing the A-Team, and various bad guys.
Nickel Plated Colt Lawman MK III
Used in multiple episodes, primarily by Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck (Dirk Benedict).
This is also the revolver of the main villain in the Season 2 episode "The Only Church In Town".
Star Model BM
B. A.´s sidearm is a nickel plated Star Model BM with Ivory grips.
Smith & Wesson 39
During Season 2, the Smith & Wesson 39 is one of the preferred sidearms of Col. John "Hannibal" Smith (George Peppard).
Smith & Wesson 639
Hannibal also uses a Smith & Wesson 639 in Season 2.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Smith & Wesson Model 14
Smith & Wesson Model 29
The Smith & Wesson Model 29 is the main sidearm of A-Team nemesis Col. Decker (Lance LeGault). Faceman is also seen carrying the Smith & Wesson Model 29 in numerous episodes.
It can also be seen in the Season 1 episode "Pros And Cons" used by Warden Beale.
Webley Mk VI
The leader of the Guerillas in the Season 1 Pilot "Mexican Slayride" can be seen using a Webley Mk VI.
Submachine Guns
HK94A3
The A3 model of the Heckler & Koch HK94 are prominently seen in Season 4's "There Goes the Neighbourhood". These appear to have the early "Slimline" forearms featured on older versions of the MP5.
Intratec AB-10
The Intratec AB-10 is used throughout Season 2.
Intratec TEC-9
The Intratec TEC-9 is used by Boyle (Robert Davi) in Season 3's "Sheriffs of Rivertown".
MAC-10
The MAC-10 appears notably when Hannibal discovers it in a weapons cache inside a limo - complete with what appears to be a Psionics suppressor.
Micro Uzi
(Mock-up) Uzi
A MAC-10 mocked up to look like an Uzi with fake Uzi furniture mounted on the barrel and receiver can be seen being used by Murdock (Dwight Schultz). Similar Uzi mock-ups can be seen in Raw Deal, The Dogs of War, and also Stripes. If memory serves the "front sight" of the Uzi was actually upside down!!!
Wilkinson Arms Linda pistol
Hannibal (George Peppard) uses a Wilkinson Arms Linda machine pistol converted to full-auto in the Season 2 episode "Deadly Maneuvers".
Rifles
Ruger Mini 14 Stainless version with Folding stock
When the show began its full run in 1984, the producers decided not to have the team use different weapons every week, primarily due to budget concerns. (Let's face it, it was a cheap show). Beginning with its second season, the A-Team favored the Ruger Mini-14 with a factory folding stock in Stainless steel. Contrary to popular belief, these were not the fully automatic Ruger AC556 rifles, but the Semi auto only Ruger Mini 14 with folding stocks. Close examination of the show reveals that the actors are pulling the triggers quickly and only a few spent brass casing as flying out, despite the sound effects of full auto fire. Also the cuts in editing, showing bullet squibs and 'dust hits' against the ground and buildings, created the illusion of full auto firing Ruger rifles. Since Americans had not yet been exposed to 'assault weapon bans' being that this was the mid 1980s, the title 1 classified Ruger rifles were easy to transport across state and local lines with no paperwork hassles. The rifles were actually purchased for the show and were kept on permanent storage in the show's props containers during the show's run.
Armalite AR-18
AKM
AKM´s can be seen during the Season 4 finale "The Sound Of Thunder", used by North Vietnamese ground troops and throughout Season 5.
Daewoo K2
The Daewoo K2 is used in numerous episodes, notably by Murdock in Season 4's "Wheel of Fortune".
Heckler & Koch HK91A2
A group of bank robbers carry the Heckler & Koch HK91A2.
IMI Galil
M16
M16A1
Used by U.S. Military Police pursing the A-Team, by A-Team members themselves, and various bad guys.
- Err, I almost forgot...some could have been earlier-model M16s or AR15 Sporters, but I don't remember anymore.
M16/SP1 with fake M203 Grenade Launcher
During the Season 4 finale "The Sound Of Thunder" Hannibal(George Peppard) can be seen pulling a M16/SP1 with a mock-up M203 from Murdocks(Dwight Schultz) bag.
