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 the complete season of 10 episodes was released on the service on November 20, 2015.
The following weapons were used in the television series The Man in the High Castle:
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
Plainclothes Kempeitai officers, including Chief Inspector Kido (Joel de la Fuente) and Sergeant Yoshida (Lee Shorten) carry the Nambu Type 14 as their main sidearm. Members of the Yakuza who rescue Juliana and Joe from the Kempeitai also carry Nambu pistols.
Walther PPK
A Walther PPK is used by an resistance member in "Pilot". In "A Way Out", Oberst Rudolf Weneger (Carsten Norgaard) uses one of Hitler's personal PPK's to try and assassinate him, as security at the Fuhrer's residence prevented him from bringing in his own sidearm.
Walther P38
Members of the SS, including Obergruppenführer John Smith (Rufus Sewell) and Oberst Rudolf Weneger (Carsten Norgaard) carry the Walther P38 as their sidearm. Smith uses it during an ambush by resistance fighters in "Sunrise" (S1E02). The weapon is also seen in various alternate reality propaganda newsreels in the hands of German and Allied soldiers.
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 apprehending resistance members in New York City in "Pilot".
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
GNR Military Police and SS soldiers appear to carry the Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns as their primary weapons. In the alternative timeline of the show, it can be assumed they were designed and built earlier, phasing out the MP40 out of service.
Flintlock rifles are made in a factory in the middle of "Pilot".
Mauser Gewehr 1898
Mauser Gewehr 1898 rifles are seen used by GNR soldiers apprehending resistance members in New York City in "Pilot". SS ceremonial guards are also seen armed with Mauser's in Hitlers residence in "A Way Out".
SVD Dragunov
When Chief Inspector Kido (Joel de la Fuente) and Sergeant Yoshida (Lee Shorten) search the hotel room of a Nazi official, they find a hidden SVD Dragunov rifle that was used to try and assassinate the Crown Prince of Japan. Although the rifle's appearance in the show is anachronistic, it is possible that in the alternative timeline it was produced earlier and thus could be used to carry out the assassination attempt.
Remington 700 BDL
SS-Oberst-Gruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich (Ray Proscia) and his aide are seen carrying Remington 700 BDL rifles during his hunting trip with Obergruppenführer John Smith (Rufus Sewell) in "A Way Out".
Battle Rifles
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.
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".
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. Another is also briefly seen in "A Way Out" in a sentry post outside Hitlers private residence.
