Season 2 of Archer saw a bit of improvement in terms of firearms. The Soviet pistol was cleaned up and is now clearly a Tokarev TT-33 rather than some generic pistol. Archer's Walther PPK was also cleaned up. All handguns also now have cycling animation.
The following weapons were used in Season 2 of the television series Archer :
Handguns
Walther PPK
Sterling Archer's primary sidearm is a Walther PPK . In the early episodes, the pistol lacked detail, but by the end of season 2, there was so much detail, the serial number was visible. In season 2's "Tragical History" Archer correctly describes the pistol as having a seven shot capacity. According to 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.

Special
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Archer with his PPK in a special Q&A session in one of the DVD special features. A viewer asks him what kind of gun he uses, and he answers "My service weapon is a Walther PPK, chambered for the .32 ACP cartridge. It's got a magazine capacity of seven rounds, plus one in the chamber, and if whatever you're shooting doesn't die after pumping eight .32 caliber slugs into it, it's probably a dragon." He then throws in a plug for How to Archer: The Ultimate Guide to Espionage and Style and Women and Also Cocktails Ever Written .

Submachine Guns
TEC-9
Lana Kane is often seen with a pair of TEC-9s , which would be a good fit for her Johnny Bench-ian, steam-shovelly, Truckasaurus hands. According to the dialogue, they are TEC-9s, and fire full auto, but lack the sling rings of a TEC-9. Later in season 2, she can be seen carrying them in her shoulder rig. Archer takes one in "Swiss Miss" (S02E01). In "Double Trouble", she carries what appears to be a pair of nickle plated or silver TECs, after Katya ruins her main pair by shooting the barrels.

The ISIS Armory
The ISIS armory has a large collection of weaponry on its walls, much of it accurately rendered, except for scale. The Sa. Vz.61 Skorpion for example, is ludicrously large.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing This is the widest shot of the armory. From top right, excluding the pistols, which are too small in this shot, there are two MP5SD3s , a Bren gun , two AK-74s , a Lewis gun , and pistols that are covered below.
