The X-Files - Season 5 (1997-1998)

The following firearms were used in Season 5 of the television series The X-Files:


SPOILERS.jpg WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!


Pistols

SIG-Sauer P226

FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) carries a SIG-Sauer P226 as his sidearm. Other FBI agents and government personnel are seen with P226s.

SIG-Sauer P228

Mulder's partner, FBI Special Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) carries a SIG-Sauer P228 as her sidearm. However, for the vast majority of episodes in Season 5, she used a SIG-Sauer P225 instead (see below). Mulder and Scully's superior, FBI Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) is also seen with a P228. Other FBI and government agents on the show are also seen using P228s.

SIG-Sauer P225

In numerous episodes, Dana Scully used a SIG-Sauer P225 rather than the P228 she used normally. This might have occurred because the show's armorer was unable to bring a P228 on-set for those particular episodes. This was also an occurrence during the fourth season as well. The P225 would be seen in numerous interspersed episodes throughout Season 5. Mulder and Scully's superior, Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) is also seen (albeit rarely) with a P225 rather than a P228.

Beretta 92FS

Beretta 92FS pistols are seen numerous times throughout the series, carried and used by police officers and government agents, as well as soldiers and military personnel as a Beretta M9 substitute.

Beretta 92FS (Mocked up as Beretta 93R)

Syndicate operatives are seen firing what first appear to be Beretta 93R machine pistols in "Unusual Suspects" (S5E03). Upon closer inspection, the pistols have slide-mounted safeties, indicating they are actually Beretta 92FS pistols modified to pass for 93Rs, fitted with extended barrels with flash-hiders and faux folding foregrips and converted to full-automatic. These weapons have also been seen in the series Dark Angel and other productions filmed in British Columbia.

Ruger KP89

One of the drug dealers being assembled at a diner in "Kill Switch" (S5E11) is seen arming himself with what appears to be a Ruger KP89. Another KP89 is wielded by Syndicate operative/assassin 'Quiet Willy' (Willy Ross) during a sequence shown in "The Red and the Black" (S5E14).

Revolvers

Smith & Wesson Model 60

A Smith & Wesson Model 60 with square butt grips is carried and used by Susanne Modeski (Signy Coleman) in "Unusual Suspects" (S5E03). Another Model 60 revolver (possibly the same weapon being re-used) is wielded by Mr. 'X' (Steven Williams), also in "Unusual Suspects".

'X' (Steven Williams) checks the cylinder of his S&W Model 60 in "Unusual Suspects". Note that the revolver appears to have only one round in the cylinder. Note also this particular sequence makes the common flub of having the cylinder making a 'ratcheting' sound despite the fact that when disengaged from the frame, the cylinder has nothing to actually ratchet against.

Taurus Model 66

What appears to be a blued Taurus Model 66 is carried and wielded by Special Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) in "Unusual Suspects" (S5E03). Though he normally carries a SIG-Sauer P226 pistol in Season 5, this episode is a flashback story that takes place in 1989, prior to the events of the series.

Smith & Wesson Model 66

'Pusher' Robert Modell (Robert Wisden) draws a Smith & Wesson Model 66 in "Kitsunegari" (S5E08).

Smith & Wesson Model 586

Sheriff Hartwell (Luke Wilson) carries what appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 586 as his sidearm in "Bad Blood" (S5E12).

Smith & Wesson Model 586 'Distinguished Combat Magnum' with 4" barrel - .357 Magnum
Sheriff Hartwell fires his Smith & Wesson Model 586 alongside Mulder firing his SIG-Sauer P226 in "Bad Blood" (S5E12).

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

Numerous Heckler & Koch MP5A3s are seen throughout the series. These are wielded primarily by black-ops soldiers and operatives. Other government/law enforcement tactical officers are seen with MP5A3s as well. Unlike in the previous season, the MP5s now have optical sights on claw mounts in addition to Surefire 628 forearms; this is the same configuration as the MP5s used in the first season of Stargate SG-1, because they are the same weapons used on both shows (both productions were filmed in Vancouver and the MP5s were supplied by Tom Felcan).

Micro Uzi

The first drug dealer seen being sent to the diner near the opening of "Kill Switch" (S5E11) is seen arming himself with a Micro Uzi.

Heckler & Koch MP5SD3

In "The Pine Bluff Variant" (S5E18), an undercover Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and the New Spartans militia group he infiltrates, wield Heckler & Koch MP5SD3s during a robbery. These weapons also appear again (fitted with laser sights) in the hands of FBI HRT operators in the next episode, "Folie à Deux" (S5E19).

Heckler & Koch MP5A2

The New Spartans militia group uses Heckler & Koch MP5A2 submachine guns during the bank robbery in "The Pine Bluff Variant" (S5E18). Strangely, when the group is seen unpacking and preparing weapons for the heist, they appear to be in possession of a large quantity of MP5A2s (at least 6-8 are visible in a crate and lying on the table), but only two of the gunmen carry MP5A2s during the actual robbery (the rest, including Mulder, use MP5SD3s and Spectre M4s).

Spectre M4

Two members of the New Spartans militia group in "The Pine Bluff Variant" (S5E18) use Spectre M4 machine pistols. These weapons also previously appeared in Season 4.

Rifles / Carbines

XM177 (mock-ups)

XM177-type carbines are seen used by military personnel and SWAT officers, including Baltimore SWAT officers in "Unusual Suspects" (S5E03) and Air Force soldiers in "The Red and the Black" (S5E14). These appear to be the same weapons from previous seasons of the show - All of them seem to be mocked up from other various AR-15 carbines (some have SP1 upper receivers, others have A1-style, and still others have the A1E1 style), as per the norm with XM177s in the vast majority of films and television.

XM177E1 Carbine (AKA Colt Model 610) - 5.56x45mm. In USAF service, this weapon was known as the GAU-5/A.

Colt Commando

Several Colt "Commando"-type carbines are seen, usually in the hands of military personnel and SWAT officers. None are seen very closely, but they appear to be the same A1E1-receiver short barrel carbines seen throughout the earlier seasons of the series, most notably the first season.

Colt Model 733 (11.5" barrel 'M16A1 Carbine') - 5.56x45mm
A soldier wields a shorty Colt Commando-type carbine in "The Red and the Black" (S5E14).

Colt Model 715/Olympic Arms K4B

Due to the series' filming in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, most of the 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 as an M16A2 stand-in.

Olmypic Arms K4B - 5.56x45mm. This rifle is very similar to the Colt Model 715, but is distinguished by the "Stowaway" pistol grip, a feature often found on Olympic Arms AR-15 rifles made in the 1990s. Rifles similar to this one are frequently seen in productions filmed in British Columbia.

Colt AR-15 SP1 (Mocked Up as M16A2)

Throughout the show, U.S. military personnel are armed with Colt AR-15 SP1 rifles fitted with M16A1-style flash hiders as well as M16A2-style hand guards, standing in for the M16A2 service rifles that the soldiers should be using in real life. You can tell because the receivers of the guns don't have the "fencing" around the magazine release, plus they lack the A2-style rear sights, shell deflectors, and forward assists. These are not seen fired, but they can be full auto conversions since armorers in both Canada and the U.S. picked up many SP1 conversions during the 1970s and 1980s.

Norinco Type 84S

The Norinco Type 84S was often used on the show by Russian soldiers (as an AK-74 stand-in). Several of these weapons are notably seen in "Patient X" (S5E13), in the hands of several soldiers in a group of Russian troops led by Alex Krycek (Nicholas Lea). Only a few of these weapons are seen (not all the troops are armed with them) - There is a possibility that there were not many AK rifles available in Vancouver during the mid-1990s, which could explain why not all of the soldiers were armed with these rifles.

Norinco Type 84S Match

There was also a recurring appearance of a folding-stock Type 84 that had a long RPK-style barrel, known as the Type 84S Match variant. This weapon appeared most prominently in the episode "Folie à Deux" (S5E19) where it was used by a hostage-taker.
