gunfire all over

Yep. Way off topic, but here's a list, with photos, of firearms used in the A-Team - the 2010 film adaptation of the 1983-1988 TV series. Here's a sample photo, with comment.



The classic Ruger Mini-14 with a factory folding stock in Stainless steel is used by Col. "Hannibal" Smith (Liam Neeson) in Mexico to rescue Face (Bradley Cooper). This is most likely a tribute to the original TV show, in which the Mini-14 was the favorite weapon of the A-Team.

The classic Ruger Mini-14

Wrong. It was the Ruger AC-556, a select fire version of the Mini-14. Stenbridge Gun Rental sold 12 A-Team functional (blanked) guns to Long Mountain Outfitters in the early 1990s when CA was on an anti-gun tear and really hurt a great company. Dan Shae sold all but one IIRC.

The inclusion of the M-14 provides evidence that would dispell a previous poster's theory that the A-Team never killed anybody on purpose. It is just they they were incapable of hitting anyone.
