Colt Government Model M1911A1
Seen on multiple occasions in Season 2. Absolute confirmation on the exact model is not possible, since the original Colt Government Model, Colt MK IV Series 70 and Colt MK IV Series 80 were all available at the time of filming (1983 to 1987).
Colt Lawman MK III
A nickel plated Colt Lawman MK III is used 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".

Smith & Wesson 639

Smith & Wesson Model 29
The Smith & Wesson Model 29 is the main sidearm of A-Team nemesis Col. Decker (Lance LeGault). Faceman (Dirk Benedict) is also seen carrying the Smith & Wesson Model 29 in numerous episodes.
Star Model B

Submachine Guns & Semi-Auto Carbines
Intratec TEC-9

Uzi Carbine

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.
IMI Galil
Wielded by Tony Victor (Lee Patterson) in the Season 2 episode "Chopping Spree" and during the Season 3 episode "The Island" by Templeton Peck (Dirk Benedict).
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.
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
Used by U.S. Military Police pursing the A-Team, by A-Team members themselves, and various bad guys.
Ruger Mini-14
The Ruger Mini-14 is used mostly by bad guys in a multitude of episodes.
Shotguns
Over and Under Shotgun
Charles Jourdan (Roy Dotrice) uses a Over and Under Shotgun to shoot clay pigeons in the Season 5 episode "The Spy Who Mugged Me".
Remington 870
Hannibal (George Peppard) is seen holding a Remington 870 in "Sheriffs Of Rivertown". Folding stock versions of this shotgun can be seen in Season 3's "Knights Of The Road", "Breakout!", in the Season 4 opener "Judgement Day Part 1", "A Little Town With An Accent" and in the Season 5 episode "The Crystal Skull". A Remington 870 folding stock with the stock removed and extended magazine tube appears in the hands of Templeton Peck in "The Big Squeeze", Season 3.
Ithaca Model 37

Another Ithaca is used by a thug in "The Only Church In Town", this one with sawed-off stock.
Double Barreled Shotgun
Double barreled shotguns can be seen on several occasions in The A-Team. Notable instances include a shotgun with cut down barrels and stock in the hands of Reverend Taylor (John Amos) in "Pure-Dee Poison", Season 2. Another one is hidden away in the prosthetic leg of El Cajon (Sergio Calderón) in the Season 3 two-parter "The Bend in the River".

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 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.

In Season 2, Episode 17 "Pure-Dee Poison" Face (Dirk Benedict) holds a gas gun similar but not identical to the Federal Gas Riot gun series. The body is more slender and it has a more conventional 'rifle/shotgun style' buttstock and apparently different adjustable sights on the top of the receiver.
