WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Handguns
SIG-Sauer P226
FBI Special Agent John Doggett (Robert Patrick), lead agent of the task force searching for the abducted Special Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny), and Scully's new partner and colleague in the X-Files unit, carries a SIG-Sauer P226 as his sidearm. Mulder. Scully, and Doggett's superior, FBI Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) is also seen with a P226. Other FBI agents and government personnel are seen with P226s.
SIG-Sauer P228
FBI Special Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) carries a SIG-Sauer P228 as her sidearm. Other FBI and government agents on the show are also seen using P228s.
SIG-Sauer P225
During a single sequence near the conclusion of "Roadrunners" (S8E04), Doggett wields and fires a SIG-Sauer P225 rather than the P226 he normally carries. This might have occurred because the show's armorer was unable to bring a live P226 on-set for this particular sequence.
This same substitution of SIG pistols (A P225 in place of the other aforementioned SIGs) also appears to have been done in at least one other instance late in the series, in the seventh season - This was, however, a more common occurrence during the fourth and fifth seasons. It is interesting that these same weapon substitutions have occurred throughout the show, despite production of the series moving to Los Angeles (since season 6) from Vancouver (Seasons 1-5), the move including a change in armory.
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.
Walther PPK
In "The Gift" (S8E11), flashbacks are shown of FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) using his Walther PPK (which he carries as a 'spare rod' backup weapon, notably seen in the third and fourth seasons) to shoot and attempt to kill a 'soul eater' who cured him of a terminal disease, to relieve it of its suffering. In the same episode, Special Agent John Doggett (Robert Patrick) discovers a Walther taped under Mulder's bathroom sink in its holster, but this gun is an Interarms/Walther PPK/S, not the regular PPK model that Mulder previously used (the model PPK/S has a larger frame than the PPK).
ISS Smith & Wesson Snub-Nose Revolver 'Non Gun'
In the opening sequence of "Redrum" (S8E06), Martin Wells (Joe Morton), an incarcerated prosecutor, is gunned down by his father-in-law Al Cawdry (Lee Duncan) as he is being transferred. The weapon Al uses appears best to be an Independent Studio Services Smith & Wesson Snub Nose 'Non Gun', likely used due to the fact the weapon is fired in close proximity to a group of people.
M1911A1
Standard M1911A1 pistols are seen occasionally throughout the series. One is wielded by an FBI agent at the beginning of "Via Negativa" (S8E07).
Browning Hi-Power
A Browning Hi-Power is used by Jeb Larold Dukes (Jay Underwood) in "Empedocles" (S8E17).
Shotguns
Side-by-Side Double Barreled Shotgun
A self-exiled Ernie Stefaniuk (Gene Dynarski) wields a Side-by-Side Double Barreled Shotgun when he and Scully are attacked by the 'man-bat' in "Patience" (S8E03).
