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 M1911A1
A Colt M1911A1 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". Various resistance fighters use them as their main weapon in the show.
Nambu Type 14
Some officers of the Kempeitai, including Inspector Kido, appear to carry Nambu automatics as their main sidearm in the show.
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" (S1E02).
Revolvers
Colt Official Police
A Colt Official Police appears to be used in "Sunrise" by a resistance fighter during an ambush.
Single Action Army
Several replica Single Action Army revolvers are made in a factory in San Francisco in the middle of "Pilot". Frank Frink (Rupert Evans) later alters one to fire live ammunition in "The Illustrated Woman", and contemplates using it against the visiting Japanese Crown Prince in "Revelations".
Submachine Guns
MP40
What appears to be a MP40 is used by Greater Nazi Reich soldiers as their main submachine gun in the show.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
GNR military police officers appear to be carrying Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns with anachronistic curved magazines, phasing out the MP40 out of service.
Thompson Submachine gun
In addition to MP-40s, some American resistance fighters carry Thompson M1A1 sub-machine guns.
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 Imperial Guard troops, as noted by their black uniforms and red and black officer caps, are seen with Howa Type 64 battle rifles as protective security for the crown prince and princess, 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, referring to the 37th year of Emperor Hirohito's reign, 1962; a convention that was replaced by the year a weapon entered service in the western calendar after Japan lost WWII. It may be chambered in 6.5x50mm Arisaka instead of 7.62x51mm NATO as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was never formed in this alternate history. The presence of the Type 64 is slightly anachronistic as the weapon entered service in Showa 39 or 1964, two years after the setting of the novel and show, however it is highly likely due to winning the war and never having to disarm, Japan's weapon industry was allowed to accelerate unchecked. It is possible that these are airsoft replicas made by S&T Armament, a Hong Kong-based airsoft manufacturer as the Type 64 and other post-war weapons are banned from export under Japanese law.
Dragunov Model 1963
The attempted assassin of the Crown Prince was found to have used an anachronistic Dragunov rifle.
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".
Winchester Model 12 Shotgun
Lem Washington (Rick Worthy) is armed with what appears to be a Winchester Model 12 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.
