'''''The X-Files''''' is the science-fiction supernatural television series created by Chris Carter (''[[Millennium]]'', ''[[Harsh Realm]]'') that starred [[David Duchovny]] and [[Gillian Anderson]] as Fox Mulder and Dana Scully - FBI agents who were placed in a special unofficial assignment known as the 'X-Files', in which they investigate cases associated with the paranormal. Mulder, a true believer, had high interest in such cases, most particularly (and personally) those involving evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial life. Concurrently, the cases also included other strange and unexplained phenomenon, with Mulder purporting generally wild theories. Scully - a doctor, scientist and skeptic - was originally to scrutinize and dismiss said findings and find more logical conclusions. In time, both learn to trust each other in their mutual search for the truth even as they clash with an insidious, far-reaching conspiracy meant to deny and cover up much of these acts. Late in the series, they are joined in their investigations by agents John Doggett ([[Robert Patrick]]) and Monica Reyes ([[Annabeth Gish]]). The series also stars [[Mitch Pileggi]], [[Nicholas Lea]], and [[William B. Davis]].


''The X-Files'' aired 202 episodes over 9 seasons on the FOX network from 1993 to 2002, making it the longest-running North American science-fiction television series until surpassed by ''[[Stargate SG-1]]''. It was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia for its first five seasons before moving production to Los Angeles, CA for its final four seasons. The show became a cult hit that would influence (directly and indirectly) several later shows, such as ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', ''[[Fringe]]'', ''[[Supernatural]]'', and others. ''The X-Files'' is also notable for being one the earliest TV shows to have a strong internet presence (this in the considerably less popular, less saturated and more rudimentary early days of the internet). The series would also spawn two feature films: 1998's ''[[The X-Files: Fight the Future]]'' and 2008's ''[[The X-Files: I Want To Believe]]'', as well as the 2001 spin-off series, ''The Lone Gunmen''.  The series ''[[Millennium]]'' (also created by Carter) was also set in this universe.  Nearly a decade after the second film, ''The X-Files'' would return to television, first as a [[X-Files, The - Season 10|six-episode miniseries]], which premiered on January 24th, 2016, which is officially listed as 'Season 10', then as a full 10 episode [[X-Files, The - Season 11|season]] as 'Season 11', beginning in January of 2018.

==Walther PPK==
 
For the entire first season, FBI Special Agent Dana Scully ([[Gillian Anderson]]) carries a compact pistol that appears to be either a [[Walther PP/PPK#Walther PPK|Walther PPK]], or otherwise some type of PPK clone.
 
Also Fox Mulder can be seen carrying a Walther PPK as a back up pistol to his main sidearm, kept in an ankle holster. 
 
It is also worth noting in Season 8 episode 11 titled "The Gift" flashbacks are shown of Fox Mulder using his PPK to shoot and attempt to kill a soul eater who cured him of a terminal disease, to relieve it of it's suffering.

== SIG-Sauer P226 ==
 
Beginning with the first episode of Season 2, Mulder starts using a [[SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG P226|SIG-Sauer P226]], which becomes his sidearm for almost the entire show afterwards (with the exception of Season 3). Many of the other FBI Agents throughout the show, including Agent John Doggett ([[Robert Patrick]]) also use P226s.

== SIG-Sauer P228 ==
 
 
Beginning with Season 2, Scully starts using a [[SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG P228|SIG-Sauer P228]], which subsequently becomes her sidearm for the entire show (Season 3 notwithstanding). Some of the other FBI Agents on the show are also seen using them.

==Smith & Wesson 5906==
 
Although they use SIG-Sauer pistols in Season 2, both Mulder and Scully switch to using [[Smith & Wesson 5900 pistol series#Smith & Wesson 5906|Smith & Wesson 5906]]s as their sidearms for all of Season 3. After this season, they resume using their respective SIG pistols (P226 for Mulder, P228 for Scully).

==Colt Model 733 Commando==
 
Several episodes in Season 1 feature appearances of [[M16 rifle series#Colt Carbine/Model 653/Model 733|Colt Model 733 "Commando]]s", usually in the hands of military personnel and SWAT officers. There's a great close-up of this gun in the second episode, "Deep Throat".

==Colt AR-15 Sporter==
 
There are many episodes, especially in the early seasons, where U.S. military personnel are armed with [[M16 rifle series|Colt AR-15 Sporter]] rifles with [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]]-style hand guards, standing in for the real M16A2 service rifles that the soldiers ''should'' be using. 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 and shell deflectors.

==Norinco Type 84S==
 
The [[AK-47#Norinco Type 84|Norinco Type 84S]] can be seen in limited numbers in the hands of the Russian guards at the Tunguska gulag in the episode "Terma".
 
[[Image:NorincoType84S.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Norinco Type 84S 5.56x45mm]]
 
There is also a recurring appearance of a folding-stock Type 84 that has a long RPK-style barrel. It appears several times in the 4th and 5th seasons, most prominently in the episode "Folie A Deux" where it is used by a hostage-taker.

==M16A2 rifle==
 
==Beretta 92FS pistol==

There are lots of [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] submachine guns in many episodes. Some of the non-firing MP5s appear to be Tokyo Marui spring-powered airsoft guns, though of course real MP5s are used in firing scenes.

The X-Files (1993-2002, 2016-2018) - This is the well-known main title logotype used in the opening credits sequence for the first eight seasons of the series, as well as seasons 10 and 11.

The X-Files is the science-fiction supernatural television series created by Chris Carter (Millennium, Harsh Realm) that starred David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as Fox Mulder and Dana Scully - FBI agents who were placed in a special unofficial assignment known as the 'X-Files', in which they investigate cases associated with the paranormal. Mulder, a true believer, had high interest in such cases, most particularly (and personally) those involving evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial life. Concurrently, the cases also included other strange and unexplained phenomenon, with Mulder purporting generally wild theories. Scully - a doctor, scientist and skeptic - was originally to scrutinize and dismiss said findings and find more logical conclusions. In time, both learn to trust each other in their mutual search for the truth even as they clash with an insidious, far-reaching conspiracy meant to deny and cover up much of these acts. Late in the series, they are joined in their investigations by agents John Doggett (Robert Patrick) and Monica Reyes (Annabeth Gish). The series also stars Mitch Pileggi, Nicholas Lea, and William B. Davis.

The X-Files aired 202 episodes over 9 seasons on the FOX network from 1993 to 2002, making it the longest-running North American science-fiction television series until surpassed by Stargate SG-1. It was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia for its first five seasons before moving production to Los Angeles, CA for its final four seasons. The show became a cult hit that would influence (directly and indirectly) several later shows, such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Fringe, Supernatural, and others. The X-Files is also notable for being one the earliest TV shows to have a strong internet presence (this in the considerably less popular, less saturated and more rudimentary early days of the internet). The series would also spawn two feature films: 1998's The X-Files: Fight the Future and 2008's The X-Files: I Want To Believe, as well as the 2001 spin-off series, The Lone Gunmen. The series Millennium (also created by Carter) was also set in this universe. Nearly a decade after the second film, The X-Files would return to television, first as a six-episode miniseries, which premiered on January 24th, 2016, which is officially listed as 'Season 10', then as a full 10 episode season as 'Season 11', beginning in January of 2018.
