| | + | '''''The A-Team''''' was an American action television series that aired in the US on NBC for five seasons from 1983 to 1987. Created by Stephen J. Cannell and Frank Lupo, the show featured the adventures of a former special forces unit of Green Berets and their pilot who were wrongly convicted of a military crime during the Vietnam War and subsequently escaped from a maximum security prison. Upon their escape, they continue to evade military authorities while surviving as soldiers of fortune in the Los Angeles underground. The show was known for its numerous gunfights where nearly no one is actually killed, and for its car chases where everyone is able to get out of their vehicles even after they experienced spectacular crashes. For its [[The A-Team - Season 5|fifth and final season]], the series underwent a radical overhaul, having the team actually being caught and subsequently working covertly for the US government. [[The A-Team (2010)|A feature film adaptation]] of the series was released in 2010 and starred [[Liam Neeson]] and [[Bradley Cooper]]. |

| − | ==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.

| − | | |
| − | 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.

| − | ==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.

| |
| − | 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!!!
