What makes sense in the context of the story is that the sheriff wanted to have his folks “well equipped”, hence the M16s (why cops in bumfuck WA need M16s, I don’t know, but I’ll bet the sheriff loved spending taxpayer money). The HK was the sniper/designated marksman rifle. Being the boss, he naturally appropriated the best/coolest weapon.
As a person that lives in a town where feral bums run wild, the sheriff’s position on vagrancy makes more sense to me. |

When they remake Rambo I, they should use maligators. One lives after the forest tracking scene. Then they make Rambo II- Second Bite, but from the doggo's perspective as he goes on one more mission to take down the CIA that set him up for a crime he didn't commit...

Most of the comments are on the right track. I was just a kid in the 80s but I loved my gun magazines and things were different in the 80s. Today everyone wants some variant of an AR tricked out according to their personal taste. In the 80s, it was a sort of badge of honor to have some exotic piece of hardware that stood out from the rest. That’s why the A-Team showed up in season two with those mini 14s. Those of you who are older than me and who were into guns in the 1980s might’ve known all about Mini 14’s, but most people had no idea what they were. if you were reading some spy novel or mercenary adventure novel, the hero would almost invariably be armed with some exotic piece of hardware such as a south African mamba pistol. Nobody knew anything about the mamba, except that we couldn’t get them here. So therefore it must be awesome!

Why did Col Trautman have a SF crest on his beret? That is not correct for officers.
Anyway, remember that the easy going, well adjusted and somewhat care free Rambo was in the movie. The book Rambo smoked everyone, including a few random townspeople. |

At one time I owned an HK93 (.223 cal.) and it was heavy as hell. It even had thick steel mags. No way was I going to lug that around when an AR15 (just as good) was so much lighter. I did make a pretty penny when I sold it though.

Like, maybe actual exotic weaponry. Makes sense from that perspective, but I guess who of us really knows. I wish I could find the article or interview that discussed it. At any rate, the Mini-14 having ever been considered some sort of exotic, state of the art weapon is laughable at best. Even the Wilkinson Linda with it’s wood fore stock doesn’t exactly scream modern in a world of ARs, MP5s, UZIs, etc. |

Sometimes the simpler explanation can be the right one, maybe? I theorize that the A-Team was cast using Mini14s because the stainless steel stood out better on film. Much like Miami Vice had the Bren 10 hard chromed for better visual effects.

Sheriff Teasle was a democratic elected sheriff in Washington state that embezzled funds from the city budget to buy fancy stuff.
He also hated veterans and wanted to stick it to John Rambo because of his veteran status. Maybe he was mad because Rambo got a free dinner for Veterans Day. Plus Troutman and were Brovets, maybe Teasle hates Brovets? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Boomer: Sheriff didn’t want a drifter hanging out in town because the first thing you know, you’ve got a whole bunch of drifters in town. How’s that quote holding up in 2024? Especially considering the state of things in the cities where Rambo claimed to be going to, Seattle or Portland?

Then he kills a bunch of people and wrecks a town. Somehow or another, because he is not only a “vet”, he’s a SF vet, he becomes the good guy. I would argue that Rambo pushed the locals, not the other way around. All he wanted was something to eat, but that king shit cop kept pushing Sheriff didn’t want a drifter hanging out in town because the first thing you know, you’ve got a whole bunch of drifters in town.

Everybody wants to bring back vagrancy laws until it’s time to enforce vagrancy laws. |
