The Man in the High Castle is a science fiction drama television series that is set in an alternate history where the United States is now occupied by Germany and Japan following their victory over the Allied forces in World War II. The series was based on the Philip K. Dick novel of the same name and is being executive produced by Ridley Scott and Frank Spotnitz (who also executive produced The X-Files). The pilot episode was released on the Amazon Prime streaming service in January of 2015 and a complete season of 10 episodes is scheduled to be released on the service on November 20, 2015.
The following weapons were used in the television series The Man in the High Castle:
Pistols
Colt M1911
A Colt M1911 is used by Joe Blake (Luke Kleintank) and by Don Warren (Michael Rispoli) when he meets with him in an auto repair shop in New York at the start of "Pilot".
Walther PPK
A Walther PPK is used by an anti-Greater Nazi Reich guerrilla fighter in "Pilot".
Walther P38
SS Obergruppenführer John Smith's (Rufus Sewell) sidearm is a Walther P38. He uses it during an ambush by resistance fighters in "Sunrise".
Revolvers
Single Action Army
Several Single Action Army revolvers are made in a factory in San Francisco in the middle of "Pilot".
Submachine Guns
MP40
What appears to be a MP40 is used by Greater Nazi Reich soldiers as their main submachine gun in the show.
Thompson Submachine gun
In addition to MP-40s, some American resistance fighters carry Thompson M1A1 sub-machine guns.
Heckler & Koch MP-5
Some German guards appear to be carrying Heckler & Koch MP-5 submachine guns, phasing out the MP40 out of service.
Battle Rifles
Arisaka Type 38
Arisaka Type 38 rifles are used by Kempeitai and Japanese Pacific States soldiers as their main battle rifle in the show.
Charleville Musket
Charleville Musket can be seen in a factory in the middle of "Pilot".
Flintlock Rifle
Flintlock rifles are made in a factory in the middle of "Pilot".
Mauser Gewehr 1898
Mauser Gewehr 1898 rifles are used by GNR soldiers as their main battle rifles in the show.
Howa Type 64
Some Japanese guards are seen with Howa Type 64 battle rifles, possibly as a replacement for the Arisaka rifles in IJA service. In the world of The Man in The High Castle, it may be under the name Type 37 or Type 39, referring to the year of Emperor Hirohito's reign (1962, the year the show takes place or 1964, the year the Type 64 entered service in real life); a convention that was replaced by the year a weapon entered service in the western calender after Japan lost WWII. It may be chambered in 7.7x58mm Arisaka instead of 7.62x51mm NATO as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was never formed. It's possible that these are airsoft replicas made by S&T as the current Japan Self-Defense Force rarely allows their rifles to be exported or borrowed for filming purposes.
Shotguns
Winchester 1887
"The Marshal" (Burn Gorman) is armed with what appears to be a Winchester Model 1887 lever-action shotgun. Joe Blake describes it as "sawed-off".
Remington Model 10 Shotgun
Lem Washington (Rick Worthy) is armed with what appears to be a Remington Model 10 shotgun.
Machine Guns
Browning AN/M2
Browning AN/M2 machine guns are seen in archival footage in "Pilot".
MG42
A MG42 GPMG is seen in "Pilot" by GNR soldiers manning the border post for the GNR-JPS border crossing.
