The following weapons were used in Season 1 of the television series The A-Team:


Pistols

Submachine Guns

Thompson Submachine Gun

Used in the two-parters "Judgement Day" and "Mexican Slayride". In "The Out-Of-Towners" a thug can be seen firing a Thompson M1928A1 with a drum magazine. As a nice gag, Hannibal is hanging onto a 1930's car with a Thompson with drum magazine and fires on a mafia boss in Season 4's "The Little Town with an Accent".

M1928 Thompson - .45 ACP.

Smith & Wesson 76

A Smith & Wesson 76 makes a brief appearance during "The Rabbit Who Ate Las Vegas".

(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). These same Uzi mock-ups can be seen in Raw Deal, The Dogs of War, and also Stripes (they were all built by a company called Special Effects Unlimited, which provided the weapons used in the first two seasons of this show).

Murdock (Dwight Schultz) blasting away at a group of bad guys. Note that he is wearing the ear muffs so the bullet hits on the barrel he is hiding in won't blow his eardrums when he is taking cover. They also show the barrel being lined with 1/4 inch steel sheeting, which explains it being bullet-proof.
Another mocked up MAC-10 in the hands of Dwight Schultz during "The Rabbit Who Ate Las Vegas".

Ingram Model 6

Members of the A-Team and various bad guys use the Ingram Model 6 in the pilot episode. Possibly the only time that this little known SMG has appeared either on television or in the movies.

Rifles/Carbines

Armalite AR-18

The main villain in "The Only Church In Town" is armed with an Armalite AR-18. It can also be seen in "Recipe For Heavy Bread". This weapon, along with the older Armalite AR-10, were often used as stand-ins for the more expensive M16 in television shows and movies.

MGC M-16 Model Gun Corp Replica Rifle

Seen during the first season pilot episode "Mexican Slayride".

M16/SP1

The M16/SP1 is probably the most high-profile firearm in the first 4 seasons, being used by bad guys and members of the A-Team on dozens of occasions. Most of the M16 SP1s used on the show have been fitted with M16A1 flash hiders, in order to stand in for the newer rifle (though some genuine M16A1s also appeared on the show).

M16/SP1 - 5.56x45mm

XM16E1

In season 1's "One More Time", Hannibal, Face, and B.A. are seen with XM16E1's.

XM16E1 Rifle - 5.56mm

Valmet M71P

Has its first appearance in "One More Time", Season 1, used by the Rashaad's men. Seen in the hands of one of Salvador's men in Season 2, "The Only Church In Town". It can be identified as the P variant by the plastic stock.

Valmet M71S - 7.62x39mm

Shotguns

Ithaca Model 37

Sheriff Hank Thompson (Ed Lauter) carries an Ithaca 37 shotgun in the Season 1 episode "Black Day at Bad Rock" episode. It's also seen in the weapon rack in the sheriff's office along with multiple other shotguns. The bartender in Season 1's "The Out-Of-Towners" uses an Ithaca 37 with sawed-off stock and barrel. Another Ithaca is used by a thug in "The Only Church In Town", this one with sawed-off stock.

Deputy Jack Harmson (Ted Gehring) picks up an Ithaca 37 shotgun from off-screen. It should be noted that this isn't the same shotgun as the one used by Sheriff Hank Thompson (Ed Lauter) in the final scene, since they have different stocks.

Sniper Rifles

Arisaka Type 99 sporterized

Used only when the script calls for a trained assassin is a Arisaka Type 99 rifle. Specifically, the Type 2 takedown paratrooper variant.

A Arisaka Type 99 rifle leaning against a couch. It can be identified as the Type 2 takedown paratrooper by the sling swivel and the receiver. Sporterized versions of the Type 99 are often used when a weapon that can be easily assembled is called for.

Machine Guns

Browning Automatic Rifle

Malavida Valdez (Sergio Calderón) uses a Browning Automatic Rifle throughout the Season 1 pilot episode "Mexican Slayride".

Browning Automatic Rifle - .30-06
Valdez's right-hand man wields the BAR during the opening scene. This is a continuity error: when the men are driving into town, he can clearly be seen wielding his Vickers-Berthier. Once he disembarks the jeep, he is suddenly holding the Browning Automatic Rifle.

M14E2 Light Machine Gun

An M14E2 Light Machine Gun is featured only once in the Season 1 finale "A Nice Place to Visit".

M14E2 - 7.62x51mm NATO
During a flashback sequence in the final Season 1 episode "A Nice Place To Visit", a VC wields a US made M14E2 Light Machine Gun. Note the curved stock, which was unique to the M14E2. This appears to be stock footage.

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 have been the obvious choice but was more often relegated to using a nickel plated Star Model BM with ivory grips. The M60D can be seen as dorsal weapons on the UH-1, seen in stock footage used in the Season 5 and 1 Intros.

M60 - 7.62x51mm NATO.
Hannibal (George Peppard) aims the M60 in "Pros and Cons", Season 1. The script for the episode actually called for a calibre .50 to be used by Hannibal.

M60 Rubber props

In the episode "Cowboy George" the viewer is treated to two M60 rubber props. While the use of rubber props themselves is not an unusual occurrence in The A-Team, the M60 appears far less often than any other firearms on the show.

The fact that this is a rubber prop is most evident when checking for the magazine. There is none. The body is also visibly wiggling around when the prop hits the ground.
Another M60 rubber prop bites the dust towards the end of the episode.

Vickers-Berthier Mk.1

The right hand man of Malavida Valdez (Sergio Calderón) is seen carrying a Vickers-Berthier Mk.1 light machine gun during the Season 1 Pilot episode "Mexican Slayride".

Mk 2 Fragmentation Grenade

Hannibal (George Peppard) retrieves Mk 2 Hand Grenades from the trunk of former Green Beret Ray Brenner in the Season 1 Finale "A Nice Place To Visit".
