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, while serving in Vietnam, 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.
The following weapons were used in the television series The A-Team:
Handguns
Browning Hi-Power
The Browning Hi-Power is one of the handguns frequently used by Col. John "Hannibal" Smith.
Correction. In the Battle Of Bel Air Hannibal did not use a Browning Hi Power. Examine the picture carefully where he has the gun on Decker and its clearly not a Hi Power its a S&W blued 39. He used a Smith and Wesson model 39 blued 8rd automatic pistol for 4 episodes and then switched to a S&W model 639 (stainless 8rd automatic). The last episode Hannibal used his Browning Hi Power is Taxi Cab Wars.
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 the first 6 episodes of Season 2 by Templeton Peck(Dirk Benedict). He then switches it out for the S&W Model 29 in The Taxicab Wars.
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.
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".
Submachine Guns
HK94A3
Intratec AB-10
Intratec TEC-9
Seen used by Robert Davi in an episode. Also, TEC-9 Mini blued carried by Hannibal in at least 1 episode.
MAC-10
The MAC-10 appears in two guises in this tv series. Both as itself (in a specific instance where Hannibal discovers it in a weapons cache inside a limo - complete with what appears to be a Psionics suppressor) and in a "fake Uzi" mode much like The Dogs of War with fake Uzi furniture mounted on the barrel and receiver. If memory serves the "front sight" of the Uzi was actually upside down!!!
Micro Uzi
Uzi Carbine
Assault 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.
-- The question remains...what's that handgun B.A. is holding in this shot? -- Could it be a Walther PPK?
AKM
HK91A2
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.
Norinco Type 56
(Fake) XM177
Sniper Rifles
Remington Model 700
Machine Guns
M60
The M60 was the regular squad support weapon in the series, always used by Hannibal Smith (George Peppard) and rarely by B.A. Baracus (Mr. T) even though he would of been the obvious choice but more often was relegated to using a chrome Smith & Wesson 639 automatic pistol.
