| − | + | ==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 | + | 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. 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 semiauto-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. Furthermore, the rifles have plain barrels fitted with flash hiders, not the 'Government Barrel' of AC556s that feature flash-hider and bayonet lug. Since Americans had not yet been exposed to 'assault weapon bans' being that this was the mid 1980s, the Title I 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. |

In the Episode "When You Comin' Back, Range Rider?", a MAC-10 is used by Col. Roderick Decker (Lance LeGault) for target practice. It should be noted that Lance LeGault barely ever flinches when firing a weapon in the series.
Rifles / Carbines
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. 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 semiauto-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. Furthermore, the rifles have plain barrels fitted with flash hiders, not the 'Government Barrel' of AC556s that feature flash-hider and bayonet lug. Since Americans had not yet been exposed to 'assault weapon bans' being that this was the mid 1980s, the Title I 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.
Hannibal Smith (George Peppard) and Templeton "Faceman" Peck (Dirk Benedict) hold their Ruger rifles in the Season 2 episode "The Taxicab Wars".
"Howling Mad" Murdock (Dwight Schultz) holds a Ruger Mini-14 as he and B.A. Baracus (Mr. T), who is holding his Star BM, burst into a backyard in Season 2's "The Taxicab Wars".
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.

IMI Galil ARM
A Galil ARM is wielded by Tony Victor (Lee Patterson) in the Season 2 episode "Chopping Spree".
M1 Garand
In "Say It With Bullets", Season 2, two M1 Garand with M7 Rifle Grenades attached can be seen on display in the holiday house.
The two M1 Garand hanging on the wall behind Hannibal.
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).
M16A1
Genuine M16A1s rifles are seen used by U.S. Military Police pursing the A-Team, by A-Team members themselves, and various bad guys.
Ruger Mini-14
Standard Ruger Mini-14s are used mostly by bad guys in a multitude of episodes.
The Second and third extra from the left are carrying Ruger Mini-14's in the episode "The Island". One can also spot a couple of AC556 with their characteristic bayonet lugs earlier in the same episode.
Weatherby Mk.V
The Weatherby Mk.V is used multiple times throughout The A-Team, notably in Season 2's "Diamonds 'N Dust".
Shotguns
Ithaca Model 37
An Ithaca 37 lies behind the counter of the Road bar in "Pure-Dee Poison".

"Let us pray!" Reverend Taylor opens up on the bar with his Double Barreled Shotgun.

M60

In "When You Comin' Back, Range Rider?", Col. Decker (Lance LeGault) uses a Federal L-5 Gas Riot Gun, recognizable from the M201Z by its lack of a rear ladder sight and a smooth barrel with no ring for a sling mount.
Manville 25mm Projectile Launcher
A Manville 25 mm Projectile Launcher is used by Hannibal in the Season 2 episode "Say It With Bullets". The weapon has been painted black, likely to make it look more like a lethal grenade launcher.

Prop Grenade Launcher
In Season 2, Episode 17 "Pure-Dee Poison" Face (Dirk Benedict) uses a made-up prop grenade launcher with passing visual resemblance to a Federal Gas Riot Gun. The receiver seems to be original, but it appears to have M79 Grenade Launcher's barrel and sight assembly. The stock appears to be taken from a older Remington 870.
"Now, which wall would you like me to remove?". Templeton Peck (Dirk Benedict) persuades a barkeeper to help the A-Team in Season 2's "Pure-Dee Poison".
