Appearances on Airwolf episodes
Season 1
M16 and Winchester Model 70 seen lying against the wall of Vidor's office.
- And They Are Us (episode) - seen in Colonel Vidor's office. No Vietnam vet's room would be complete without one!
Season 2
- Firestorm (episode) - used by General Sandower's guards. During their escape, Dominic uses one which Hawke had taken off a guard. Judging by the triangular grip, the lack of a rib around the magazine release and the lack of a forward assist, the weapon is an M16SP1 although the flash suppressors appear to be that of the later M16A1.

- used by various US troops during Hawke's flashback to the Vietnam War. Mace Taggert and Saint John Hawke are seen with it. String uses one to shoot a Viet Cong sniper in a tree and save Mace Taggert's life. Mace remembers this and decides to spare String's life later
- Handley, one of the mercenaries working for Dunkirk, is also seen practicing with one at a shooting range. Again it looks like an SP1.
Mace and Saint John with the M16.
String shoots a Viet Cong sniper in a tree while defending the injured Mace. Note the M16A1 style flash suppressor.
Handley with an M16. Note lack of forward assist and rib around the magazine release.
- Once a Hero (episode) - used by Hawke, Kearns, Charmaine and Wallace during the raid on the prison camp. Like the others above, the weapons here look like SP1s with A1 flash suppressors. The weapon used by Wallace has a movie-prop M203 grenade launcher fitted. He uses it during the raid and firefight but never fires any grenades. He boards the truck with it during the egress, but somehow, when they are ambushed by an Browning M2 emplacement, he has a regular M16. Which is a pity because the grenade launcher might have been useful in taking out the machine gun nest.
Kearns examines a M16 in the Bangkok warehouse. Note the lack of a rib around the magazine release.
M16s during the raid. Note the flash suppressor which is more commonly associated with the later model M16A1 and M16A2.
Wallace with his M203 just prior to the raid.
Wallace with the M203 on the truck during the egress. Notice the lack of a forward assist on the M16. Somehow, Wallace switched to a regular M16 a few minutes later.
- Inn at the End of the Road (episode) - Lord Killebrew's security guards and an unnamed member of Steele's gang who is guarding the Hughes 369 helicopter at the abandoned radar station.
These security guards of Lord Killebrew are armed with the M16. Note that their weapons are equipped with telescopic sights.
This member of Steele's gang is armed with an M16.
- Prisoner of Yesterday (episode) - Several revolutionaries used the M16. Here is one of the better views, in this case of Luis. Like in Firestorm (episode), the weapon appears to be an SP1 made to look like an M16A1.
Luis with his M16. Note the absence of the forward assist and triangular hand guards characteristic of the SP1. But the muzzle brake is a later M16A1 pattern.
Season 3
- The Horn of Plenty (episode) - Various soldiers of Horn's private army.
One of Horn's soldiers engages Airwolf with his M16.
- Discovery (episode) - Horn's men in the firefight against the FIRM Zebra squad.
One of Horn's men defends Horn's ship with his M16.
