Another apartment tenant, Walter Suarez (Valente Rodriguez) also notably fires the weapon in "Agua Mala".

Revolvers

Colt Python

A stainless 4" barreled Colt Python with grooved grips is taken and used by Patrick Crump (Bryan Cranston), a man suffering from a critical inner ear illness due to exposure to faulty extremely-low-frequency (ELF) transmission, to hold Mulder hostage in "Drive" (S6E02).

Crump holds the Python on Mulder in "Drive" (S6E02). TRIVIA: Bryan Cranston would later go on to play the central character Walter White in Breaking Bad, which was produced/written by The X-Files writer Vince Gilligan. Gilligan, who wrote "Drive", specifically wanted Cranston to appear in the episode; His performance here would become a deciding factor for AMC officials to allow him to be cast in Breaking Bad. Along with Dean Norris and Aaron Paul, he is one of three Breaking Bad stars who first came to Gilligan's attention through their guest appearances on The X-Files.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

Numerous Heckler & Koch MP5A3s are seen throughout the series. These are wielded by police tactical officers and government agents, as well as military and black-ops personnel. In Season 6, these weapons are first seen wielded by Groom Lake / Area 51 USAF personnel in the two-part episode "Dreamland" (S6E04 / S6E05), fitted with Surefire 628 weaponlight forearms. The weapons also appear to have Navy lower receivers/trigger packs, as seen in other episodes, particularly "Monday" (S6E14).

MP40

German soldiers occupying the Queen Anne luxury liner in "Triangle" (S6E03) are seen with MP40s.

MP-40 - 9x19mm

German troops drag away Mulder In "Triangle" (S6E03). An MP40 is seen slung on the soldier to the left. The use of MP40s is a (slight) anachronism as these sequences in the episode take place in 1939; The MP40 wasn't introduced until 1940. However it could be argued these weapons are stand-ins for the less-available MP38.

A German soldier wields his MP40 in "Triangle" (S6E03).

Another German soldier with an MP40 on Mulder and the OSS agent / 1939 version of Scully in "Triangle" (S6E03).

Rifles / Carbines

M16A2

Actual M16A2 rifles are seen in the later seasons produced in Los Angeles, California (Season 6 onward), rather than Olympic Arms variants as seen in the previous Vancouver-produced seasons of the show. These appear in the hands of police and law enforcement officers, as well as military personnel.

M16A2 - 5.56x45mm

In the background, a USAF soldier is seen with an M16A2 Rifle with mounted weaponlight in "Dreamland" (S6E04).

Another USAF soldier with an M16A2 with mounted weaponlight slung as he arrests Mulder at the conclusion of "Dreamland" (S6E04).

M16A1 (Mocked up as M16A2)

Some M16A2 rifles seen are actually M16A1s fitted with A2-handguards to stand-in for the M16A2. Several of these rifles are seen clearly in the hands of police officers manning a roadblock in "Drive" (S6E02).

M16A1 with A2 handguards - 5.56x45mm. Putting the distinctive A2 handguards on the older rifle was a method used by Movie/TV armorers to simulate A2 rifles when M16A1s were the only ones available.

Another Highway Patrolman with an M16A1/A2 mockup in "Drive" (S6E02).

The Nevada Highway Patrol officers with their rifles in "Drive" (S6E02). Note the thinner barrel, as well as the lack of brass deflectors and A2-style rear sights, clearly indicating these are M16A1 rifles with A2 handguards installed to pass for M16A2s.

XM177 / CAR-15 (mock-ups)

Several XM177-type carbines are seen used by military personnel and SWAT officers, notably Groom Lake / Area 51 USAF personnel in the two-part episode "Dreamland" (S6E04 / S6E05). Unlike previous seasons of the series, these weapons all appear to be mocked up from newer Colt Carbines with A2 receivers (distinguished by the brass deflector and A2 rear sights) with a slightly different style of mock XM-type flash moderators, more similar to those commonly seem on carbines in LA productions (This would be appropriate, given the series' move in production to Los Angeles from Vancouver beginning in S6). The carbines all also feature mounted weaponlights.

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

Late 1970s model AR-15 Sporter 1 Carbine converted into an XM177 Lookalike - 5.56x45mm

Another shot of the Senior Airman with his Colt Carbine, this image better showing the receiver - Note the brass deflector and A2 rear sights. Note also, however, the older 'teardrop'-style forward assist. The pressure switch for the weaponlight can also be clearly seen in this shot, mounted on the right side of the handguard.

To the left is an Air Force soldier with a XM177 mockup with mounted weaponlight in "Dreamland II" (S6E05). Note again the brass deflector on this rifle, not seen on original XM177s or CAR-15s.

LAR Grizzly Big Boar

What appears to be a LAR Grizzly Big Boar with stainless barrel and lower receiver, ported muzzle brake and scope is seen in the hands of a Nevada Highway Patrol trooper manning a roadblock in "Drive" (S6E02).

LAR Grizzly Big Boar with black finish - .50 BMG (12.7x99mm). Note the ported muzzle brake. The weapon seen in the show has a stainless barrel and lower receiver, but is otherwise identical.

A Nevada Highway Patrol trooper with a Grizzly Big Boar in "Drive" (S6E02). A single-shot .50 BMG rifle seems a somewhat odd choice of weapon for a patrolman to be carrying around.

Winchester Model 1894

What appears to be a Winchester Model 1894 lever-action rifle (or clone/copy) is seen carried by one of the Klansmen on horseback in "The Unnatural" (S6E19).

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. In Season 6 Remington 870s are seen with other accessories, such as Speedfeed stocks, as seen in "Monday" (S6E14).

Remington 870 Police Magnum Riot Shotgun - 12 Gauge

Several police officers with the weapons trained on chase suspect Patrick Crump (Bryan Cranston) at the beginning of "Drive" (S6E02). The officers on the left and upper right wield what appear to be Remington 870 shotguns.

Remington 870 Folding Stock

Several Remington 870 Folding Stock shotguns are seen used in Season 6. One is used by George Vincent in "Agua Mala" (S6E13). Near the conclusion of "Trevor" (S6E17), a Remington 870 Folder is notably used by Special Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny), loaded with rubber riot slugs, against escaped convict Wilson 'Pinker' Rawls (John Diehl). These were used in lieu of conventional rounds due to Rawls' ability to pass through any solid, electrically-conductive materials - The rubber in the riot slugs, being an electrical insulator, counteracts such ability.

Remington 870 Police Magnum with factory folding stock - 12 Gauge

George Vincent (Jeremy Roberts) fires at an unknown water monster in his apartment with his Remington 870 Folding Stock in "Agua Mala" (S6E13).

Mossberg 500 (Numerous Variants)

Several types of Mossberg 500 shotguns are seen throughout the season - Due to the number of different variants, they will be sub-divided within this section.

Mossberg 500AT

Some of the Mossberg shotguns appear to be Mossberg 500AT variants, noted by the wooden foregrip.

Mossberg 500AT Shotgun - 12 Gauge. Note the wood furniture.

On the right, the lead Klansman (actually the Alien Bounty Hunter) with his Mossberg 500 Field. Note this is an anachronism, as this sequence takes place in 1947; The Mossberg 500 wasn't introduced until 1961. The Klansman on the right wields an unknown sawed-off rifle/carbine.

Mossberg 500 'Persuader'

Several standard riot-model Mossberg 500s, known as 'Persuader' models, are seen throughout the season, and indeed are the most common variant seen. The shotguns are used by numerous police and government agents, as well as seen in the hands of some military personnel.

Mossberg 500 "Persuader" with standard five-shot magazine tube - 12 Gauge. This is the most commonly produced version of the 500 series today.
