Like Season 1, Season 3 of Archer kicked off in September along with its FX stablemate It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, only this time with a three-parter that picked up right where the second season left off. The rest of the season 3 episodes would not air until January of 2012.
The following weapons were used in Season 3 of the television series Archer:
Sterling Archer's primary sidearm is a Walther PPK. According to a DVD special feature and the companion book How to Archer: The Ultimate Guide to Espionage and Style and Women and Also Cocktails Ever Written, his PPK is chambered in .32 ACP.
Ray's brother Randy uses a Mossberg 500 in "Bloody Ferlin" (S03E09).
Submachine Guns
TEC-9
Lana's primary weapon remains the TEC-9 in Season 3.

Rifles
AK-47
The AK-47 shows up numerous times during the series. They appear to be based on real AK-47s, with the milled receiver and open-topped front sight.
M14
Cyril and Calzado hunt for Archer and Lana with M14s in the Colombian jungle before Cyril catches up with Lana in "El Contador" (S03E05). Randy Gillette has one in "Bloody Ferlin" (S03E09) that fires full auto.
XM16E1
Archer and Lana carry XM16E1 rifles in "El Contador" (S03E05). They are armed with them again in "Drift Problem" (S03E07). Like all the other guns, the animators often mix up the sides.
Machine Guns
Hybrid M60
In "Heart of Archness Pt.III" (S03E03) Lana fires on pirates with a hybrid M60 door gun from a UH-1 Huey. This M60 has spade grips like a M60D but still retains the forward hand guard.
