	Due to the series' filming in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for the first five seasons, most of the [[M16]]-type rifles seen throughout this period were [[Colt Model 715]]s, or, more likely, the Olympic Arms K4B equivalent, which seems to be favored by the Canadian armorers. These weapons generally appeared in the hands of US military personnel as an [[M16A2]] stand-in, notably soldiers guarding what appears to be a salvaged spacecraft in "Nisei" (S3E09) and soldiers forming a death squad in "731" (S3E10). In "Pusher" (S3E17), several FBI tactical agents also wield these rifles.

	Season 3 of '''''The X-Files''''' premiered on September 22, 1995 with "The Blessing Way"; part one of the series' first two-part opener, and middle episode of a three-part story arc, continuing directly from the [[X-Files, The - Season 2\|previous season's]] finale "Anasazi" and concluding with the following episode "Paper Clip". This arc, and others shown in Season 3, would feature new aspects to the show's background mythology - Most notable would be the reveal of the alien 'black oil' virus (which would play a central role for the background mythology in several additional episodes and the [[X-Files: Fight the Future, The\|1998 feature film]]) as well as ~~additional revelations about~~ the consortium of powerful figures behind the 'government' side of the combined government/alien conspiracy (among others), ~~what~~ would eventually come to be known simply as the 'Syndicate'. Several characters involved in the Syndicate were introduced, including 'The Well-Manicured Man' ([[John Neville]]) and 'The First Elder' (Don S. Williams) ~~and several~~ other characters were further explored, including Mulder's informant Mr. 'X' ([[Steven Williams]]). Also of note, the name of one of the mythology episodes, "Piper Maru", shared the first and middle name of Gillian Anderson's daughter, the child Anderson gave birth to during the previous season. "Piper Maru" would also be used as the name of an icebreaking ship in 2004's ''[[Alien vs. Predator]]'', as a minor homage to the show.

	In addition to expansion of the alien conspiracy mythology, Season 3 would feature numerous highly-regarded and critically acclaimed 'Monster-of-the-Week' stand-alone episodes - Several of which widely considered some of the best in the series, such as "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose", "Pusher", and "Jose Chung's ''From Outer Space''". Many of these episodes featured deeper and darker elements, while others added certain levels of humor (some of it ~~partially~~ self-deprecating) to the show. Some of these episodes would be penned by writers (some new to the show in S3) who, despite the success, would leave the series - Most notable being Glen Morgan's brother Darin Morgan, who ~~had issues with the production but also~~ felt unable to keep up with the pace of a scripted weekly television program (Darin Morgan would however return to write and direct ~~an episode~~ for the [[X-Files, The - Season 10\|'Season ~~10' miniseries event~~]]). The third season of ''The X-Files'', like the previous two seasons, was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia and would conclude in May 1996 with 24 episodes.
