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 5904
In the episode "Duane Barry" (S2E05), Duane Barry (Steve Railsback) uses a Smith & Wesson 5904 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."

Taurus Model 66
What appears to be a 6" barreled Taurus Model 66 revolver is seen wielded near the conclusion of "Our Town" (S2E24).
Smith & Wesson Military & Police
A Smith & Wesson 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).

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.

Rifles
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).

M16A1
The M16A1 was used on a regular basis throughout The X-Files as either a military and/or SWAT weapon. M16A1 rifles can be seen most notably in "Sleepless" (S2E04) and "F. Emasculata" (S2E22).
Colt AR-15 SP1 (Mocked Up as M16A2)
In several episodes, notably "Fresh Bones" (S2E15), U.S. military personnel are armed with Colt AR-15 SP1 rifles with 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.
Diemaco C7-Etc
Due to the series' filming in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, most of M16-type rifles seen throughout the season were Diemaco C7s, 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).
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.

Unknown/Other Bolt-Action Rifles
Several other bolt-action rifles are seen in Season 2, primarily tactical sniper rifles wielded by police and government officers. One is notably seen in "End Game" (S2E17).
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 (Shortened Field Barrel)
A Deputy US Marshal is seen armed with a Mossberg 500 shotgun fitted with a ventilated barrel in "The Host" (S2E02).
Mossberg 500
Standard riot-model Mossberg 500s, know 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).
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.
