Revision as of 00:00, 29 September 2014
Work In Progress This article is still under construction. It may contain factual errors. See Talk:The X-Files - Season 3 for current discussions. Content is subject to change. |
The following weapons were used in Season 3 of the television series The X-Files:
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Handguns
Smith & Wesson 5906
Having changed sidearms in both Season 1 and Season 2 both FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) begin carrying yet a different sidearm, in this case the Smith & Wesson 5906. Both Mulder and Scully use 5906s as their sidearms (marking the first and only time in the show both characters are issued the same weapon) for almost all of Season 3. Their superior, Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) is also seen using a 5906 as his carry weapon in Season 3. Other FBI agents and police officers are occasionally seen with S&W 5906s as well. Part of Smith & Wesson's 'Third Generation' semiautos, the 5906 is chambered to fire 9x19mm Luger (Parabellum) ammunition, has fully ambidextrous safety levers, a one piece rear wraparound grip and construction is all stainless steel. The S&W 5906s used in the show by Mulder, Scully, and Skinner are later models with the rounded trigger guards, and also feature adjustable rear sights, black triggers and hammers.
Skinner's 5906 is first (and most notably) seen in the season opener "The Blessing Way" (S3E01). Mulder and Scully carry their Smith & Wesson 5906s starting in "D.P.O." (S3E03) and continue to carry them for the rest of the season. During "731" (S3E10) a continuity error is present as Mulder's 5906 changes back and forth several times from his regular version to a older model with squared trigger-guard and (interestingly) the sights removed (see below). In "Syzygy" (S3E13), Scully and Mulder's 5906s had accidental discharges due to uncontrolled telekinetic powers (as did several other firearms).
NOTE: Several users have suggested that these pistols might be the Smith & Wesson 1076 in 10mm, which was briefly used by the FBI. This is incorrect; the 1076 has a single-stack frame, while the pistols in the show have double-stack frames, meaning that they can only be the model S&W 5906. The show's guns are not the .40-caliber 4006, because the 4006's frame features checkering on the grip, missing on the show's Smith & Wessons (the 5906 frame has vertical grooves on the grip). The model S&W 1076 can be easily distinguished from the S&W 5906, as the 1076 is hammerless, has no manual safety and a frame mounted de-cocking lever. This is a TV show, not real life, and movie/television armorers have always tended to use 9mm pistols rather than larger calibers, because 9mm blanks are more reliable to cycle in pistols than larger calibers.
Special
SIG-Sauer P228
FBI Special Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) carries the SIG-Sauer P228 that she carries in Season 2 as her sidearm in the season opener "The Blessing Way" (S3E01). It is briefly seen when she is disarmed of it by a black ops soldier in that episode. The P228 is later seen in the episode when she surrenders it to the FBI when she is suspended. Afterward Scully carries a different weapon as her sidearm and she is not seen with it for the remainder of the season. Mr. 'X' (Steven Williams) is also seen with a SIG P228 in "Wetwired" (S3E23), where he uses it to assassinate other syndicate operatives and plants it at the scene.
SIG-Sauer P226
Although Mulder and Scully trade their SIG-Sauer pistols for Smith & Wesson 5906s in Season 3, there are still some appearances of the SIG-Sauer P226 throughout the season. Alex Krycek (Nicholas Lea) uses a SIG P226 in "Piper Maru" (S3E15) (which Mulder briefly wields as well), while Mr. 'X' (Steven Williams) carries one in "731" (S3E10) and "Talitha Cumi" (S3E24).
Manurhin PPK
At the conclusion of the season opener "The Blessing Way" (S3E01), as well near the beginning of the continuing episode "Paper Clip" (S3E02), Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) is seen reusing the Manurhin PPK she used during most of the first season - She uses it when the FBI suspends her and confiscates her (then) assigned SIG-Sauer P228 service pistol that she carries primarily in Season 2.
Walther PPK
In Season 3, Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) can be seen carrying a Walther PPK as a back-up pistol to his main sidearm, kept in an ankle holster. The weapon is notably seen in the episodes "Nisei" (S3E09) and "731" (S3E10).
Beretta 92FS
Beretta 92FS pistols are seen numerous times throughout the show, carried and used by police officers and government agents, as well as military personnel.
Jericho 941R
Syndicate operative and assassin Luis Cardinal (Lenno Britos) often uses Jericho 941R pistols as his preferred weapon. He uses an all blue-steel model to (inadvertently) kill Agent Scully's (Gillian Anderson) sister Melissa near the conclusion of the season opener "The Blessing Way" (S3E01). He is also seen wielding what appear to be two-tone Jericho pistols in "Piper Maru" (S3E15) and "Apocrypha" (S3E16), in the former case using it in an attempt to kill Assistant Director Skinner (Mitch Pileggi).
Glock 17
A Glock 17 is seen used by a syndicate operative on Asst. Director Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) in "Paper Clip" (S3E02). Glocks are also seen used by police and government officers throughout the show.
Taurus PT92AFS
In "The Walk" (S3E07), US Army Major General Thomas Callahan (Thomas Kopache) uses a nickel-plated Taurus PT92AFS in the climax of the episode.
M1911A1
Standard M1911A1 pistols are seen occasionally throughout the show. In S3, one is notably brandished by a distraught US Navy submarine crewman in "Piper Maru" (S3E15).
Polished Nickel Pocket Pistol
An unknown pocket pistol with high-polish nickel (or stainless) finish is taken up by Jose Chung (Charles Nelson Reilly) near the conclusion of "Jose Chung's From Outer Space" (S3E20).
Unknown Smith & Wesson Automatics
Several Smith & Wesson semiautomatic pistols are seen throughout the show, notably the episodes "2Shy" (S3E06) and "Oubliette" (S3E08).
Revolvers
Ruger Speed Six Snub
Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) arms himself with a snubnose Ruger Speed Six in "The Blessing Way" (S3E01). He wields it during a brief standoff between himself, Scully, and Asst. Director Skinner near the beginning of "Paper Clip" (S3E02). What also appear to be Speed Six snub revolvers are used by a woman to kill her lover in "The List" (S3E05) and by a scientist in "War of the Coprophages" (S3E12).
Taurus Model 66
Taurus Model 66 revolvers appear occasionally throughout the show. In Season 3, a stainless steel variant is used near the end of the episode "Pusher" (S3E17) by both mind-controlling killer Robert Patrick Modell (Robert Wisden) and Fox Mulder to play a game of Russian Roulette. Another blue-steel variant is used by a hostage-taker at the opening of the season finale "Talitha Cumi" (S3E24).
Rossi Model 971 Snub
What appears to be a snubnose Rossi Model 971 revolver is used by San Francisco police detective Glen Chao (B.D. Wong) near the conclusion of "Hell Money" (S3E19).
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Numerous Heckler & Koch MP5A3s are seen throughout the season in the hands of black ops soldiers and operatives as well as FBI tactical agents in "Pusher" (S3E17), almost all fitted with the H&K proprietary flash hider. Starting in "Nisei" (S3E09), the MP5A3s are fitted with Surefire 628 tactical forearms, and some are also fitted with laser sights.
(Mock-up) Heckler & Koch MP5K
What appear to be Heckler & Koch MP5Ks are seen used by government and military personnel. These do not appear to be real MP5Ks; but rather mock-ups built on the bolt carrier and magazine well of a Kimel AP-9, because the armorers in British Columbia did not have genuine MP5Ks during the 1990s. The same guns have also appeared in the film Crying Freeman and the series M.A.N.T.I.S. and The Outer Limits. These weapons were used in several episodes, notably the black ops soldiers who kill the Japanese scientists in "Nisei" (S3E09).
Ruger MP9
The Ruger MP9 appears frequently in the hands of black ops soldiers and operatives in Season 3.
Micro Uzi
Some syndicate/black ops mercenaries are seen with Micro Uzis in Season 3. Micro Uzis are also carried by the French secret service agents in "Piper Maru" (S3E15). These weapons appear to have side-folding stocks and the 'bent' trigger guards.
Calico M955A
Calico M955As are seen throughout the show in the hands of military personnel and covert/black ops agents. It is seen wielded by black ops units in "Paper Clip" (S3E02) and "Apocrypha" (S3E16).
Heckler & Koch MP5A2
Full-stocked Heckler & Koch MP5A2s are seen rarely in Season 3, one is seen used by a black ops soldier in "The Blessing Way" (S3E01) and another is seen in the hands of a covert operative in "Apocrypha" (S3E16).
MAC-10
MAC-10s are seen wielded by black ops soldiers in "Apocrypha" (S3E16).
Rifles
Colt Model 715/Olympic Arms K4B
Due to the series' filming in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, most of M16-type rifles seen throughout the season were Colt Model 715s or the Olympic Arms K4B equivalent, which seems to be favored by the Canadian armorers. These weapons appeared in the hands of U.S. military personnel, notably soldiers guarding what appears to be a salvaged spacecraft in "Nisei" (S3E09) and soldiers forming a death squad in "731" (S3E10).
Remington 700PSS
A police sharpshooter is seen with a Remington 700PSS in "Talitha Cumi" (S3E24).
Shotguns
Remington 870
Remington 870s are wielded by police officers and and government agents throughout the show. 870s are also seen rarely in the hands of black ops soldiers. Both standard variants and variants with mounted forend weaponlights are seen.
Mossberg 500 Bullpup
Black ops units and other government agents are seen with Mossberg 500 Bullpup shotguns throughout the series.
Over/Under Double Barrel Shotgun
An Over & Under 12-Gauge Double Barrel Shotgun with dual triggers is used by a housewife to kill what she perceives to be her cheating husband in "Wetwired" (S3E23). The weapon appears to be similar to (if not the same as) an O/U shotgun used in Season 1. Another O/U shotgun is seen wielded in "Revelations" (S3E11).
Franchi PA3/215
A Franchi PA3/215 is wielded by a black ops soldier in "The Blessing Way" (S3E01).
Ithaca 37 'Featherlight'
What appears to be an Ithaca 37 "Featherlight", the field-variant of the shotgun, is seen wielded by a high-school principal heading a mob in "Syzygy" (S3E13).
Sawed-Off Side-by-Side Shotgun
A Sawed-Off Side-by-Side Double Barrel Shotgun is seen wielded under a table by an illicit salvage dealer in "Piper Maru" (S3E15).
Police Station Shotguns
In "Syzygy" (S3E13), several various pump-action shotguns are seen on a rack in a police station. Near the conclusion of the episode, several of them unexpectedly and inexplicably discharge (this is due to uncontrolled telekinesis emanating from two teenagers detained at the station).
Machine Guns
Browning M2HB
A Browning M2HB heavy machine gun is seen mounted on an M35A2 truck at the beginning of "731" (S3E10).
