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.

Beneath the Surface - S4-E19

Continuity mistake: As Murdock stands on the deck to dive in the water, he has two bottles of pressurized air on his back. The next shot shows him under water, with only one bottle on the back. The rest of the scene shows him once again with two bottles of air. (00:34:00)

The Rabbit Who Ate Las Vegas - S1-E7

Other mistake: When the two women first see the bus pull up and get on, the next scene we see when it picks up BA is the same video footage as when it arrived to pick them up. You can also see the same pink neon lights in the reflection of the bus and bus stop before it quickly cuts away. (00:02:50 - 00:04:20)

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.

Champ! - S3-E16

Other mistake: In the Cable van, Face plugs the red and black leads of his control onto the wires. As he moves the controller into camera view, the black lead comes off, so the interrupter shouldn't work, but does anyway.

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.

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

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.
