===Weapons===
In early episodes, the team used [[Colt AR-15|Colt AR-15 SP1]] semi-automatic rifles (with automatic sound effects, simulating the [[M16 rifle|M16]]), while in later seasons they used the [[Mini-14|Ruger Mini-14]], and on rare occasions, the [[selective fire]] [[Mini-14#AC-556|AC-556K]] variant of the Mini-14. Hannibal is also seen using an [[M60 machine gun]] (which Hannibal called "Baby") in some episodes as well as a [[Micro-uzi]]. [[MAC-11]]s with parts added to simulate the Uzi appear in at least two early episodes. Hannibal's sidearms are either a nickel-plated [[Smith & Wesson Model 59]], or a stainless steel [[Smith & Wesson Model 39|Smith & Wesson Model 639]]. Unusually in the episode "Black Day at Bad Rock" he is seen carrying a [[Browning Hi-Power]]. Face's usual sidearm is a [[Colt Trooper#MK III|Colt Lawman Mk III]], though he does use [[Smith & Wesson]] revolvers in latter seasons. Many antagonists and members of the team use [[M1911 pistol|1911s]] as well. Starting from Season 4, the then-exotic [[Steyr AUG]] bullpup rifle also became prominent in the series. "So many different firearms were used in the 1980s hit ''The A-Team'' that it's impossible to list them all. For five seasons, the wrongly accused foursome used rifles, handguns, submachine guns and shotguns to bring justice for the little guy while trying to stay out of jail. Regardless of the number of explosions or rounds fired, nobody ever got seriously hurt except for the occasional flesh wound of a team member." The ''American Rifleman'' declared ''The A-Team'' the Number One Show on Television to regularly feature firearms.<ref name="americanrifleman.org">http://www.americanrifleman.org/GalleryItem.aspx?cid=22&gid=107&id=949 |American Rifleman.
