The A-Team
Theatrical Poster
The A-Team is the 2010 feature film adaptation of the 1983-1988 TV series . Directed by Joe Carnahan (Smokin' Aces ), the film stars Liam Neeson , Bradley Cooper , Sharlto Copley and Quinton Jackson as members of a US Special Forces team who are framed for a botched operation in Iraq and subsequently escape from custody to clear their names. The film's cast includes Jessica Biel and Patrick Wilson .
The following weapons were used in the film The A-Team :
Handguns
Para-Ordnance P-14 Limited
Colonel John 'Hannibal' Smith (Liam Neeson ) carries a Para-Ordnance S14-45 Limited , and uses it throughout the whole movie. There is a slight continuity error in the beginning: The P-14 that Tuco's henchman tries to kill Hannibal with has 6 front slide serrations. The one Hannibal uses after that (also for the rest of the film) has only three. This means that one of the P-14s used on-set was older than the other.

Beretta 92FS
Various U.S Army soldiers use Beretta 92FS pistols during the film, including members of Lt. Sosa's DCIS team. Agent Kyle pulls a Beretta on Pike in Frankfurt, Germany but then clumsily tries to affix what he calls a "European silencer" onto the Beretta, while holding the loaded pistol between his knees and pointed at his own head, before which he had dropped the suppressor on the floor while chambering the pistol. Meanwhile, an exasperated Pike corrects him by saying that it's a suppressor , and also reminds him it threads on counterclockwise. Pike disarms the agent and hands the gun to the other agent sitting on his right side; that agent then awkwardly holds the gun against his head while trying to cover his ear during a phone call. Pike also has a Beretta 92FS in a tactical vest at the shootout in the harbor in the climax.
