==Mossberg 500 Cruiser==
When a future giant burrowing beetle proves resistant to the EMDs and forces the team to resort to conventional firearms, Becker uses a [[Mossberg 500 Cruiser]] with a silver finish.
Stephen(James Murray) uses a Beretta 92FS Inox as his personal sidearm. He possesses at least two of these pistols. Helen Cutter also uses a Beretta 92FS Inox halfway through season 3.
When a future species of giant borrowing beetles prove to be able to resist the non-lethal EMD's effects, the ARC team decides to use some more conventional weapons stored in the ARC's armory, primarily several 2nd generation Glock 17 pistols.
Ethan Dobrowski (Jonathyn Byrne) uses a Walther P99 during the season 4 finale. Unlike Connor's P99, this prop is either a blank-converted P99 or a blank-firing replica, as it locks open when Ethan empties his first magazine.
Some of the soldiers in the show occasionally use Heckler & Koch G36K carbines when in more open environments. These rifles are outfitted in the same manner as their G36Cs.
A large number of M4A1 Carbines are seen throughout the series in the hands of various government operatives. Most of these rifles are outfitted with railed handguards, flashlights, vertical foregrips, and red-dot sights.
The Anomaly research team frequently uses a stainless-steel 12 gauge single-barreled breach-loading shotgun with black synthetic furniture, rails, Red Dot Sight, flashlight, and bipod. This gun, like others on the show, impersonates a tranquilizer gun. The ARC team possesses at least two of these weapons.
When a future giant burrowing beetle proves resistant to the EMDs and forces the team to resort to conventional firearms, Becker uses a Mossberg 500 Cruiser with a silver finish.
Captain Becker (Ben Mansfield) has a short-barreled Heckler & Koch AG36 Grenade Launcher mounted to the handguard of his G36C. This prop is actually an airsoft launcher made by Madbull called the AGX, and can be distinguished from a real AG36 due to it's short barrel and picatinny rail-compatible mounting system.
When a future fungus turns its host into a monster in the London underground, the ARC team tries to corner the creature with a number of flamethrowers.
In season four, the ARC program is restructured and most of the weapons used by the ARC teams are retired to the armory and replaced with a fictional weapon series referred to as Electro Muscular Disruption weapons, or "EMD" for short (the EMD props appear to be built out of some sort of power tool, possibly a nail gun). The exact mechanics of these weapons are not elaborated on, but they are described as being similar in concept to a Taser in that their primary effect is to administer a strong electrical shock to whatever they hit. EMD shots also appear to have a kinetic effect on targets, as smaller creatures hit by an EMD are often sent reeling from the impact and the shots are capable of ricocheting off of flat metal surfaces. The power of each shot is widely adjustable, and there are four different EMD configurations seen in the show. All EMDs are outfitted with flashlights while in the field.
EMD Pistol
The smallest EMD variant is a basic pistol configuration, and is frequently used by both Abby (Hannah Spearritt) and Connor (Andrew Lee Potts) in place of their pistols from the previous seasons.
Similar to the pistol EMD variant, this EMD features a shortened barrel and lacks a stock, but features the vertical foregrip seen on larger EMD variants.
A medium-sized variant, this EMD features a short barrel (just a few inches longer than the EMD pistol barrel), two vertical foregrips, and a tube stock. This version is commonly seen in the hands of the various unnamed ARC soldiers.
The largest EMD variant is a full-sized rifle with a full-length barrel and a (possibly adjustable) stock. This is the variant that Matt Anderson (Ciarán McMenamin) and Captain Becker (Ben Mansfield) use the most.

Given that her job is to act as a field coordinator (relaying information to the ARC field teams from the ARC facility), it comes as no suprise that she is untrained on how to properly handle a firearm.
