− | Season 6 of '''''The X-Files''''' premiered on November 8, 1998 - Nearly five months after the release of the [[X-Files: Fight the Future, The|first feature film]] - and would be the first season of the series to be filmed in Los Angeles, California, after having been filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for the previous five seasons. The show moved to accommodate David Duchovny, who wished to be closer to his then wife [[Téa Leoni]], and to also have proximity to Hollywood for potential film work.

Despite opposition by showrunner Chris Carter, FOX moved the series to LA, where it would be filmed for the rest of its original run. |
The move to LA would bring several changes to the show. One was a major increase in overall production costs, which limited the scale of the series in terms of special effects use and other production aspects compared to prior filming in Vancouver. Another would be a somewhat differing tone in story-writing which moved from the prior darker and more intense 'Monster of the Week' episodes to 'lighter' standalones with simpler stories and different styles of humor and/or romantic elements - elements which would alienate some long-term fans of the series. Likely due to these factors, the series would go down slightly in ratings compared to the [[The X-Files - Season 5|previous season]]. Several episodes would be well-regarded in S6 however, and the show overall remained quite popular. Duchovny himself would both solo-write (he had co-written several prior episodes) and direct an episode in the sixth season, "The Unnatural", while the season would feature several notable guest actors, such as [[Michael McKean]] and [[Bruce Campbell]]. | The move to LA would bring several changes to the show.

Meanwhile, the overarching mythology of the show would be taken to a new level in Season 6, culminating in major changes. Mulder and Scully would, for much of the season, be denied working officially on the X-Files, while several newer characters, previously introduced in the prior season, would be further featured in Season 6, notably Diana Fowley ([[Mimi Rogers]]) and Jeffrey Spender ([[Chris Owens]]). The fate of the consortium administering the conspiracy at the human level, the Syndicate, would also be irrevocably altered in S6. | Meanwhile, the overarching mythology of the show would be taken to a new level in Season 6, culminating in major changes.

Season 6 of The X-Files premiered on November 8, 1998 - Nearly five months after the release of the first feature film - and would be the first season of the series to be filmed in Los Angeles, California, after having been filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for the previous five seasons. The show moved to accommodate David Duchovny, who wished to be closer to his then wife Téa Leoni, and to also have proximity to Hollywood for potential film work. Despite opposition by showrunner Chris Carter, FOX moved the series to LA, where it would be filmed for the rest of its original run.
The move to LA would bring several changes to the show. One was a major increase in overall production costs, which limited the scale of the series in terms of special effects use and other production aspects compared to prior filming in Vancouver. Another would be a somewhat differing tone in story-writing which moved from the prior darker and more intense 'Monster of the Week' episodes to 'lighter' standalones with simpler stories and different styles of humor and/or romantic elements - elements which would alienate some long-term fans of the series. Likely due to these factors, the series would go down slightly in ratings compared to the previous season. Several episodes would be well-regarded in S6 however, and the show overall remained quite popular. Duchovny himself would both solo-write (he had co-written several prior episodes) and direct an episode in the sixth season, "The Unnatural", while the season would feature several notable guest actors, such as Michael McKean and Bruce Campbell.
Meanwhile, the overarching mythology of the show would be taken to a new level in Season 6, culminating in major changes. Mulder and Scully would, for much of the season, be denied working officially on the X-Files, while several newer characters, previously introduced in the prior season, would be further featured in Season 6, notably Diana Fowley (Mimi Rogers) and Jeffrey Spender (Chris Owens). The fate of the consortium administering the conspiracy at the human level, the Syndicate, would also be irrevocably altered in S6.
The season would conclude in May 1999 with 22 episodes, ending in a cliffhanger with the finale "Biogenesis", which would become part one of a three-part arc that would conclude with the two-part opener for the following season.
The following weapons were used in Season 6 of the television series The X-Files:
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
FBI Special Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) carries a SIG-Sauer P228 as her sidearm. FBI Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) is also seen with a SIG P228. Other FBI and government agents on the show are also seen using P228s.
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. A Beretta 92FS is seen carried by FBI Special Agent Diana Fowley (Mimi Rogers) in "The Beginning" (S6E01).
Glock 17
Glock 17 pistols are seen used by police and government officers throughout the series. Some Syndicate operatives are also seen with Glock 17s in Season 6, notably the 'The Black-Haired Man' (Scott Eberlein) in "The Beginning" (S6E01), and the 'Silk Shirt Man' (Nasser Faris) in "S.R. 819" (S6E09).
Smith & Wesson 3913
Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) uses a Smith & Wesson 3913 in "S.R. 819".
M1911A1
Standard M1911A1 pistols are seen occasionally throughout the series. One with blued finish is notably wielded by bank robber Bernard (Darren E. Burrows) throughout "Monday" (S6E14).
Heckler & Koch Mark 23
A Heckler & Koch Mark 23 is wielded by survivalist apartment tenant George Vincent (Jeremy Roberts) in "Agua Mala" (S6E13). Another apartment tenant, Walter Suarez (Valente Rodriguez) also notably fires the weapon in "Agua Mala". The X-Files is notable as one of the earliest on-screen appearances of the Mark 23 pistol; Quite possibly the earliest appearance in a television series.
Jericho 941 R (Two-Tone)
A two-tone Jericho 941 R with blued receiver and stainless slide is used by Richard "Ringo" Langly (Dean Haglund), one of 'The Lone Gunmen', in "Three of a Kind" (S6E20).
Luger P08
German soldiers occupying the Queen Anne luxury liner in "Triangle" (S6E03) are seen with Luger P08 pistols.
Ruger KP89
In "S.R. 819" (S6E09), the Silk Shirt Man and the Syndicate operative working with him are both seen briefly wielding a Ruger KP89.
Raven Arms MP-25
A nickel pocket pistol, what appears best to be a Raven Arms MP-25, is confiscated from a street criminal whom Scully arrests in "Tithonus" (S6E10).
Taurus PT92AF
A wood-gripped Taurus PT92 is wielded by Bo Merkle (Keith Brunsmann), an associate of Wilson 'Pinker' Rawls (John Diehl), in "Trevor" (S6E17).
Heckler & Koch USP
A Heckler & Koch USP is seen in the hand of a slain Mississippi state trooper in "Trevor" (S6E17).
Walther PPK (Suppressed)
A Walther PPK with mounted suppressor is used by 'Timmy the Geek' (Jim Fyfe), actually a covert operative, in "Three of a Kind" (S6E20).
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). Another blue-steel Python is wielded by a security guard in "Trevor" (S6E17).
Smith & Wesson Military & Police
An early-version Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver (Then known as the 'Military & Police' model) is seen carried by a young Arthur Dales (Fredric Lane), Roswell, NM police officer and similarly-named brother of the former FBI agent Arthur Dales (as also portrayed by Lane in Season 5's "Travelers"), in the flashback story in "The Unnatural" (S6E19).
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.
Heckler & Koch MP5A2
Fixed-stock Heckler & Koch MP5A2s with Surefire light forends are very briefly seen in the hands of SWAT officers throughout "Monday" (S6E14).
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 weapons generally appeared in the hands of US military personnel, particularly Groom Lake / Area 51 USAF personnel in the two-part episode "Dreamland" (S6E04 / S6E05).
Olympic Arms K3B CAR
XM177-style 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). They are all fitted with Surefire 660 weapon lights mounted to the barrels using Weaver barrel clamps.
Upon close inspection, all of the XM177-style carbines in this season are actually Olympic Arms K3B CAR clones, as evidenced by the fact that they have 11.5" barrels fitted with long, thin 4.5" mock XM177-style flash hiders. These uppers also appear to have been fitted to transferable Colt M16A1 carbine lower groups, as evidenced by the difference in finish between the upper and lower receivers (the Colt lowers are finished in light grey, while the Olympic Arms uppers are blued and have a darker finish). Unlike the Olympic Arms carbines featured in previous seasons, which mostly have A1E1 upper receivers, the carbines in this season all have A2-style upper receivers. The shift in guns is an indicator of the shift in production from Vancouver to Los Angeles; in previous seasons, the show's weapons were rented from Tom Felcan, while in Season 6 and later, they were rented from Gibbons, Ltd.
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).
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).
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 series. 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 Folding Stock
Several Remington 870 Folding Stock shotguns are seen used in Season 6. The first notable appearance is in "Agua Mala" (S6E13), where it is used by George Vincent, a survivalist apartment tenant, to attempt to kill a water monster breaking out from the plumbing over his apartment. Near the conclusion of "Trevor" (S6E17), another 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.
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 500 Field
A 'field' variant of the Mossberg 500, with long barrel and wooden furniture is seen carried by the lead Klansman, actually the Alien Bounty Hunter (Brian Thompson), in "The Unnatural" (S6E19).
Mossberg 590
San Pedro officers are seen wielding Mossberg 590 shotguns with extended mag tubes and forearm weaponlights in "Alpha" (S6E16).
Other
Decontamination Gas Guns
Centers for Disease Control personnel are seen using some type of gas dischargers to decontaminate and subdue Mulder (David Duchovny), Scully (Gillian Anderson) and Cassandra Spender (Veronica Cartwright) in "One Son" (S6E12). These also have mounted flashlights.
Palmer Cap-Chur Short Range Projector
Canine behavior expert Karin Berquist (Melinda Culea) is seen retrieving and loading a Palmer Cap-Chur Short Range Projector in "Alpha" (S6E16).
