Revision as of 03:54, 13 June 2011
Airwolf was a television action series that aired for three seasons on CBS from 1984 to 1986 and then for one on the USA Network. For its first three seasons, the series starred Jan-Michael Vincent as Stringfellow Hawke, a Vietnam veteran helicopter pilot who is asked by the Firm, a covert US government agency, to recover a top secret military attack helicopter known as Airwolf that has fallen into hostile hands. Upon the recovery, Stringfellow flies Airwolf on missions for the Firm, in exchange for the agency's search for his brother, who went MIA in Vietnam. The series was created by Donald Bellisario (who is known for creating such series as Magnum P.I., JAG, and NCIS) and co-starred Ernest Borgnine, Jean Bruce Scott, and Alex Cord.
The following weapons were featured in the television series Airwolf:
Guns of 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.
Handguns
M1911A1
The M1911A1 is the primary sidearm of Dominic Santini (Ernest Borgnine) and Stringfellow Hawke (Jan-Michael Vincent) during Season 1. Both Archangel (Alex Cord) and Caitlin (Jean Bruce Scott) are seen using the handgun as well in the series.
Detonics CombatMaster
The stainless Detonics CombatMaster is seen carried by both Stringfellow Hawke and Caitlin O'Shannessy during Seasons 2 and 3.
Detonics ScoreMaster
Stringfellow also is seen using a Detonics Scoremaster in various episodes.
Walther PPK
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.
Assault Rifles
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. In Season 2's "Short Walk to Freedom", Hawke is seen with the rifle.
Valmet M76F
The Valmet M76 is seen used by Limbawe forces in the Season 1 episode "And They Are Us."
AKM
The AKM is used throughout the series.
CAR-15
The CAR-15 is used throughout the series, notably Dom as he rescues a young boy stranded in Russia in Season 1's "Daddy's Gone a Hunt'n" (S1E2).
M16A1
The M16A1 is used by Hawke's team as they attempt to rescue POW's in Season 2's "Once a Hero" (S2E10).
Ruger AC556K
Hawke takes a Ruger AC556K off a Libyan soldier and uses it in the pilot episode.
Ruger AC556
A Ruger AC556 with a full stock is seen in Season 2's "Short Walk to Freedom".
Submachine Guns
Uzi
A full size Uzi is used throughout the series, sometimes fitted with a suppressor.

A Micro-Uzi is used by Archangel (Alex Cord) in Season 3's "Birds of Paradise" (S3E22).
MAC-10
The MAC-10 is used in the series, notably with a suppressor in Season 2's "HX 1".
Heavy Weapons

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.
Browning M2HB Aircraft Heavy Machine Gun
The Browning M2HB Aircraft heavy machine gun is also seen in the series.
RPG-7
An RPG-7 is seen used by various enemy forces throughout the series, most likely the same mockup used in the film Red Dawn (filmed only a year before the series went into production). In Season 1's "Mad Over Miami" (S1E07), Cuban forces are seen trying to take down Airwolf with one, as it's erroneously identified as an anti-aircraft weapon.
M203 Grenade Launcher
An M203 Grenade Launcher is seen mounted underneath an M16A1 used by Season 2's "Once A Hero".
M72 LAW
The M72 LAW is seen during a weapons demonstration in Season 2's "HX 1". In Season 2's "Out of the Sky", a LAW is fired at Airwolf from another helicopter.
FIM-92A Stinger
The FIM-92A Stinger is used throughout the series, notably in Season 2's "Flight #093 is Missing".
