Revision as of 23:23, 28 September 2014
The following weapons were used in Season 2 of the television series The X-Files:
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Pistols
SIG-Sauer P226
In Season 2, FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) begins carrying a SIG-Sauer P226 as his sidearm. This weapon first appeared in the Season 2 premiere "Little Green Men" (S2E01), when Mulder tried in vain to shoot an alien with his newly-issued P226 (despite SIGs' "Hell and Back" reliability, firearms generally do not function when UFOs are around in The X-Files). Following this episode, Mulder would carry the P226 for the entirety of the season. Some police and government officers would be also be seen with P226s, including a state trooper who attempts to apprehend Duane Barry in "Ascension" (S2E06).
SIG-Sauer P228
Beginning with Season 2, Special Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) started carrying a SIG-Sauer P228 as her sidearm. Scully is first seen using her P228 in "Blood" (S2E03) and would carry it for the remainder of the season. Mulder and Scully's boss, Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi), as well as fellow Agent-turned-antagonist Alex Krycek (Nicholas Lea) are also seen with SIG-Sauer P228s. In "Ascension" (S2E06), Duane Barry (Steve Railsback) used Scully's P228 to kill a state trooper who tried to apprehend him. Other FBI and government agents on the show are also seen using P228s. Mr. 'X' (Steven Williams) also carries a P228 as his weapon, as seen in the episodes "One Breath" (S2E08), "End Game" (S2E17), and "Soft Light" (S2E23). In "One Breath", X describes his P228 as a "High-capacity compact SIG-Sauer .40-caliber weapon.". The P228 is only available in 9x19mm, so Mr. X did not correctly describe the weapon's caliber (the prop weapon used in the episode is clearly a P228 and not a P229).
Smith & Wesson 3904
In "Duane Barry" (S2E05), Duane Barry (Steve Railsback) uses a Smith & Wesson 3904 that he took from a guard at the mental institute. He uses the weapon throughout the episode to hold several hostages. The weapon is referred to in the episode as a "Nine-millimeter Smith & Wesson handgun" and is said to have a "nine-shot magazine".
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.
M1911A1
Standard M1911A1 pistols are seen occasionally throughout the show, one notably is seen used by Augustus Cole (Tony Todd) in "Sleepless" (S2E04).
Glock 17
Glock 17s are seen used by several police and government officers throughout Season 2, including a Sheriff in "Blood" (S2E03), and a team of Deputy US Marshals led by Tapia (Dean Norris) in "F. Emasculata" (S2E22).
Revolvers
Smith & Wesson Model 10
A young Fox Mulder attempts to use a Smith & Wesson Model 10 to try and defend his sister Samantha from alien abduction during a flashback in "Little Green Men" (S2E01).
Smith & Wesson Military & Police
An older Smith & Wesson Model 10 / 'Military & Police' revolver is wielded by an elderly woman near the end of "Aubrey" (S2E12). What appears to be another M&P/Model 10 revolver is seen in the pocket of a graveyard caretaker (Callum Keith Rennie) in "Fresh Bones" (S2E15).
Smith & Wesson Model 36
A Smith & Wesson Model 36 is used by deathly-infected escaped prisoner Paul (John Pyper-Ferguson) to hold a boy hostage near the end of "F. Emasculata" (S2E22).
Taurus Model 66
What appears to be a 6" barreled Taurus Model 66 revolver is seen wielded near the conclusion of "Our Town" (S2E24).
Submachine Guns
Calico M955A
In "Little Green Men" (S2E01), Mulder and Scully were chased away from the Arecibo radio telescope site in Puerto Rico by a Blue Beret Crash Retrieval Unit. The Blue Berets were armed with a number of weapons that were considered "futuristic" back in the mid-1990s when the episode was made, including a Steyr AUG, a Calico M955A with a laser sight, and at least two Mossberg 500 Bullpup shotguns. The leader of the team carries what appears to be an airsoft MP5 (see below).
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
What appear to be Heckler & Koch MP5A3s are seen throughout the season. Upon closer inspection, the vast majority are actually Tokyo Marui spring-powered airsoft guns. One of these weapons is notably wielded by the Blue Beret team leader in "Little Green Men" (S2E01). In "Anasazi" (S2E25), a team of black ops soldiers are armed with MP5A3s fitted with the H&K proprietary flash hider (these appear to be the only real, blank-adapted MP5s on the show, instead of airsoft replicas).
Heckler & Koch MP5K (Mocked up Kimel AP-9)
What appear to be Heckler & Koch MP5Ks are seen used by government and military personnel, particularly the black ops soldiers in "Anasazi" (S2E25). In reality, these are not 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 Crying Freeman, M.A.N.T.I.S., and The Outer Limits.
Assault Rifles / Carbines
Steyr AUG
In the first episode of Season 2, "Little Green Men", Mulder and Scully were chased away from the Arecibo radio telescope site in Puerto Rico by a Blue Beret Crash Retrieval Unit. The Blue Berets were armed with a number of weapons that were considered "futuristic" back in the mid-1990s when the episode was made, including a Steyr AUG, a Calico M955A with a laser sight, and at least two Mossberg 500 Bullpup shotguns. The leader of the team used an airsoft MP5 (see above).
Colt AR-15 SP1 (Mocked Up as M16A1 and M16A2)
Throughout the show, especially in earlier seasons, Colt AR-15 SP1 rifles fitted with M16A1-style flash hiders are seen. They are fitted with both M16A1 and M16A2-style hand guards, intended to pass for either rifle. M16A2 mock-ups are seen in "Fresh Bones" (S2E15) in the hands of U.S. military personnel, while M16A1 mock-ups are seen in "Sleepless" (S2E04) and "F. Emasculata" (S2E22).
Colt Model 715
Due to the series' filming in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, most of M16-type rifles seen throughout the season were Colt Model 715s, or, more likely, 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 in several episodes in Season 2. One of these rifles outfitted with scope and modified buttstock was seen wielded by a police sharpshooter in "Duane Barry" (S2E05).
Rifles
Winchester Model 70
In "Blood" (S2E03), Edward Funsch (William Sanderson), a man suffering from an extreme-paranoia psychotic break is seen purchasing and later firing on a small carnival with what appears to be a Winchester Model 70 rifle. It is in .308 Winchester (as seen from a box of ammo he uses), has a jeweled Bolt, and scope.
Knight's Armament Revolver Rifle
In "End Game" (S2E17), an FBI sniper accompanying Asst. Director Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) is armed with what appears to be a Knight's Armament Revolver Rifle. This is likely the same rifle used in the film Another Stakeout and on other TV shows filmed in Vancouver, including The Sentinel, Highlander (TV series), Supernatural, and Psych.
Shotguns
Mossberg 500 (Numerous Variants)
Several types of Mossberg 500 shotguns are seen throughout Season 2 - Due to the number of different variants, they will be sub-divided within this section.
Mossberg 500 Bullpup
In the first episode of Season 2, "Little Green Men", Mulder and Scully were chased away from the Arecibo radio telescope site in Puerto Rico by a Blue Beret Crash Retrieval Unit. The Blue Berets were armed with a number of weapons that were considered "futuristic" back in the mid-1990s when the episode was made, including a Steyr AUG, a Calico M955A with a laser sight, and at least two Mossberg 500 Bullpup shotguns. The leader of the team used an airsoft MP5 (see above). In addition to this, government agents are seen with Mossberg 500 Bullpups in other episodes.
Mossberg 500
Standard riot-model Mossberg 500s, known as 'Persuader' models are seen throughout Season 2, primarily in the hands of police and government officers. They are notably seen in the hands of FBI agents in "Irresistible" (S2E13) and Deputy US Marshals in "F. Emasculata" (S2E22).
Maverick 88
A Deputy US Marshal is seen armed with what appears to be a Mossberg-manufactured Maverick Model 88 shotgun. The gun appears to be set-up in a kind-of 'Cruiser' configuration - It appears to have a pistol grip and riot-length barrel, however the barrel is ribbed, and the weapon features a top-folding stock. This is identical to another Maverick 88 seen in Season 1.
Ithaca 37
Several Ithaca 37 shotguns are seen throughout Season 2 of the show, wielded by police officers and government agents. Both standard variants and variants with extended magazine tubes are seen.
Ithaca 37 'Featherlight'
An Ithaca 37 "Featherlight", the field-variant of the shotgun, is seen wielded by zoo worker Ed Meecham (Jack Rader) in "Fearful Symmetry" (S2E18).
Over/Under Double Barrel Shotgun
An Over & Under 12-Gauge Double Barrel Shotgun is wielded by a devil-worshiper in "Die Hand die Verletzt" (S2E14).
