Labor Pains - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: At the beginning during the bridge jump scene, the A-Team van changes. It suddenly has round headlights, its hub caps can be seen popping off when it lands, and it doesn't have any spotlights. The real van has double square shaped headlights, steel spoked rims, and spotlights. (00:05:20)

The Battle of Bel-Air - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: In the sporting goods store, B.A. is complaining about the darts and gestures with a red one. A second later, it's suddenly wood colored with black fins. As Hannibal makes his point, he gestures with and throws a black finned dart, but in the close up of it sticking through a scuba mask, it has two blue and two red fins.

Double Heat - S3-E6

Continuity mistake: As the van starts chasing the goon's car, you can see Hannibal has his rifle ready, the muzzle to the left of his face. In the close up after the thug starts shooting, he says his line, and motions for his rifle from Face.

Trouble on Wheels - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: As the team is driving through the warehouse, they are shooting up the place. The time that the car can get from one side of the space inside to the other at their speed is about three seconds. Unless they were driving in circles, they stopped inside to shoot people with oil squirting hoses, shoot up and wreck the place and get going. Even though the sound said they were moving, the physics say otherwise.

Trouble on Wheels - S3-E7

Continuity mistake: While driving in and through the bad guy's warehouse, Murdock is driving and firing the gun on the driver's side. As the camera does a close up on him driving, you can see it is a reused shot of him driving outside, as you can see not only trees, but BA's relaxed arms behind him. Trouble there is that BA is firing the top mounted gun. Also, after the close up of Murdock, you see his left hand on the wheel. When the camera cuts to the driver's gun, his left hand is suddenly firing it, and behind that, you that the background isn't moving.

Movie Nut

Breakout! - S3-E13

Continuity mistake: Just as Murdock gets to the point of jamming the brakes to stop the van, the chase scene is outside. If you look just to Murdock's left in the closeups, you can see a corrugated metal wall that isn't moving, with only the van bouncing a bit.

Movie Nut

Cup A' Joe - S3-E14

Continuity mistake: After Hannibal jumps from the semi and the trailer explodes, the tractor stops about 45° to the left. Later, they come back to the rig, and it now sits straight, and there is no scorched grass, or signs of any kind of explosion.

Movie Nut

Waste 'Em! - S3-E21

Continuity mistake: As the team track the disposal truck, the stop in the shadows out in the country. As they take off to go to the city hall, they leave from beside the same building they left to trail the truck, rather than the country scene.

Movie Nut

Bounty - S3-E22

Continuity mistake: As the goons are trying to get the van to stop, it changes from a Ford van to a Dodge with a messed up bumper, and back to the Ford between shots, and the bumpers don't show any damage.

Answer: They never use an M14. The nearly always use a Ruger Mini 14, a totally different weapon.

stiiggy

Answer: The machine guns primarily used were M60's or M60D's. Although there were a lot of sub-machine guns used too, like the Mac-10. For some reason other answers are talking about rifles used in the show.

Bishop73

For the reason is because most people don't know the difference between an automatic rifle, a sub-machine gun, and a machine gun. I.e. Die Hard "Ho-ho-ho now we have a machine gun" - actually a HK MP5K. M60D's are for helicopter door gunners. I suspect you mean an M60E3, with the pistol foregrip.

stiiggy

You suspect wrong. I did mean M60D since they were seen being used as helicopter door guns.

Bishop73

Only in the stock footage in the intro though.

lionhead

Yes, because the question was asking what machine guns were used, but didn't cite a specific episode or anything, so I was being thorough.

Bishop73

The question is what machine guns were used by the A-team. Not that one.

lionhead

So you think the question was what machine gun was used by the A-Team but not by the A-Team?

Bishop73

No. The A-Team never used the M60D anywhere in the series, you only see it in the stock footage of the intro. And the question was what machine guns the A-team used.

lionhead

Which is stock footage of the A-Team.

Bishop73

That is most definitely not the A-team in the helicopter, they are just showing footage from the Vietnam war.

lionhead

Answer: Mostly M-14's. Occaisionally M-16's or Ingram Model 10's. http://world.guns.ru/smg/smg00-e.htm.

Grumpy Scot

They are not M-14s, that is a full automatic military rifle used during the early part of the Vietnam War as a replacement for the M1 Garand. It has much the same appearance as the M1 except with a magazine instead of a top-loading en-bloc 8 rd clip. The rifles used by the team are Ruger Mini-14s, chambered for .223. An M-14 is NATO 5.56.
