The following guns were used in the television series The X-Files:
Taurus PT92
For the first half of the first season, FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) uses an older model Taurus PT92 9mm. Also in S4E17 an airforce traffic controller used an older model PT92AFS to commit suicide.
Glock 19
Midway through the first season, Mulder switches to a Glock 19, which he uses for the remaining episodes of the season.
This gun is also carried by some of the elite soldiers in Episode 9 of Season 1, "Fallen Angel".
Walther PPK
For a lot of the first season, FBI Special Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) carries a Walther PPK. The pistol seen in the first screen cap is one that she took from an enemy agent, in the other screen cap you can see the slide mounted safety. before carrying the PPK she was carrying a Bernardelli .380 pocket pistol.
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. After which Agent Dogget discovers the Walther taped under Mulder's bathroom sink in it's holster.
Scully with the Bernardelli .380
Scully with a PPK
SIG-Sauer P226
Beginning with the first episode of Season 2, Mulder starts using a 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 P228, which subsequently becomes her sidearm for the entire show (Season 3 notwithstanding). Alex Krycek (Nicholas Lea), Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) and some of the other FBI Agents on the show are also seen using them.
Scully appears to be using the P225 in season 5. you can clearly see the squared trigger guard in the second screencap.
Smith & Wesson 5906
Although they use SIG-Sauer pistols in Season 2, both Mulder and Scully switch to using Smith & Wesson 5906s as their sidearms for all of Season 3. After this season, they resume using their respective SIG pistols (P226 for Mulder, P228 for Scully). Skinner is also seen using a 5906 as his carry weapon.
Glock 17
Seen used by Skinner in the ghost children episode.
Smith & Wesson 5904
In the Season 2 episode "Duane Barry", Duane Barry (Steve Railsback) carries a Smith & Wesson 5904 that he took from a guard at the mental institute.
Colt Model 733 Commando
Several episodes in Season 1 feature appearances of Colt Model 733 "Commandos", 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 AR15 SP1 Rifle
There are many episodes, especially in the early seasons, where U.S. military personnel are armed with Colt AR-15 SP1 rifles with 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, shell deflectors, and forward assists. These are not fired on the episode, 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.
Norinco Type 84S
The Norinco Type 84S can be seen in limited numbers (two rifles being seen) in the hands of the Russian guards at the Tunguska gulag in the episode "Terma". In the episode "Patient X" when a unit of Russian soliders led by Alex Krycek encountered a UN military force at a UFO abduction site in Kazakhstan, two Russian soldiers were seen armed with AK rifles while the rest of the unit were armed with clubs/nightsticks. There is a possibility that there were not many AK rifles available in Vancouver during the mid-1990s, which could explain why only two soldiers/gulag guards were armed with rifles while the others were armed with nightsticks. Also, it makes little sense that Russian soldiers would use the Chinese Type 84.
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. This is known as the Type 84S Match variant.
Makarov PM
In the episode "Terma", a number of Russian guards on horseback are seen armed with Makarov PM handguns as they shoot at Mulder while he was escaping the Tunguska gulag.
AKM
Seen briefly in the hands of Ivory Coast soldiers in the episode "The Sixth Extinction II: Amor Fati".
M16A1 rifle
Used by the militia gunmen in the episode "Tunguska". The M16A1 rifle was also used on a regular basis throughout The X-Files run as either a military and/or SWAT weapon. M16A1 rifles can be seen in the Season 2 episode "Sleepless".
M16A2 rifle
M16A2 rifles were seen in later seasons when production was moved from Vancouver to Los Angeles.
Beretta 92FS pistol
Beretta 92FS pistols were commonly seen in the hands of police officers, sheriffs, and US military personnel. Seen as Agent Hamilton's sidearm in the lizard episode, season 8.
Colt M1911A1 pistol
Seen in the Season 2 episode "Sleepless"
Webley revolver
Used by Frank Black (Lance Henriksen) in The X-Files/Millennium crossover episode "Millennium"
Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine gun
There are lots of 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. In one episode, Scully wields an MP5A3 with a Surefire forearm during a scene where she and Mulder participate in an FBI takedown of a militia group.
Blue Beret team's weapons
In the first episode of Season 2, "Little Green Men", Mulder and Scully are chased away from the Arecibo radio telescope site in Puerto Rico by a Blue Beret Crash Retrieval Unit. The Blue Berets are 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 is seen using another airsoft MP5 (see above).
M14 rifle
Used by a militia gunman in the episode "Tunguska".
Various pump-action shotguns
The pump-action shotgun was commonly used by many characters during The X-Files, namely in the hand of police officers, sheriffs, SWAT team members, FBI agents, and US soldiers. The kinds of pump-action shotguns used on The X-Files were mostly Remington 870s, Winchester 1300s, Mossberg 500s/590s, and Ithaca 37s
Uzi submachine gun
Seen dual wielded by a a gamer in "First Person Shooter".
Heckler & Koch G36
Seen in the episode "First Person Shooter" used by one of the video game players named "LoFat".
Ruger AC556
Seen in the episode "First Person Shooter" as the heavily modified game gun M590 assault rifle (same prop shell used in the show Space: Above and Beyond The sci fi shell held a full auto Ruger AC556 (the full auto version of the Mini-14).
Century Arms AK-47 bullpup rifle
Seen in the episode "First Person Shooter".
FN Minimi
Seen in the episode "First Person Shooter with the "virtual "enemy combatants" in the video game, dressed like pseudo Nazis, using the Minimi against the players.
M60 machine gun
Used by the US military throughout the series, usually as a vehicle-mounted weapon on the US Army's Jeeps and Humvees.
MP-40
Used by German soldiers in the episode "Triangle".
Knight's Armament Model R-2 Suppressed Revolver Rifle
Used by a Quiet Willy to kill the Smoking Man in Season 5 Episode 2 "Redux II" This is the Knight's Armament R2 system. It's a Ruger super redhawk modified to having the gap between the ammunition cylinder and the barrel closed. The idea was to create an effect similar to that of the mosin nagant revolver. Once this was done, a sound suppressor could be effectively employed. Needless to say, the life of the weapon was rather short as it wore out quickly due to the cyclinder grinding down steel when rubbing against the barrel as it turned.
Browning Hi-Power
Used by the evil guy in s8e17.
Jericho 941
Used by Langley to "shoot" Suzanne Modeski.
