The Corleone Family…Vito, Michael, Fredo, Tom Hagan, etc.
Vs
Hannibal, Face, B.A. Barrakus, Murdoch.
Who would win?

Well since Michael is the only person mentioned who can actually shoot someone. I’ll go with the Corleone Family.

Totally the A-Team. Whenever a Corleone has a gun drawn on him, he usually dies. Now the A-Team has been in hundreds of gunfights. Not only do they survive, they usually never even get hit.
Also, the A-Team has Mr. T on its side. I’m not one to side against T, and I still believe that ROCKY III was some sort of fluke.

Is the A-Team locked in a room with enough stuff to make an armoured car?

The Corleones. Remember, in addition to themselves, they can call on a seemingly unlimited amount of muscle to help them fight the A-Team.
The A-Team, on the other hand, have no one to use as backup.
Oh, **Homer** , Vito Corleone also can shoot straight (or, at least he could back in 1919, but that would be spoiling the films for you.)

Since it’s been said everywhere else, it has to be said here.
The Corleones, if they’re prepared.

You’re right. I missed the name Vito.
Of course, if was a contest to see who bang the most cocktail waitresses…Corleone hands down. Fredo can do them two at a time.

The A-Team fired about a zillion bullets without ever hitting a single person. The Corleones, OTOH, are quite good at shooting people. Therefore, I’d say that the A-Team ends up sleeping with the fishes.

The A-Team never get hit, but never actually kill anyone. Therefore the battle would go on forever. Or at least until the Corleones escaped in an airplane.
