For a lot of the first season, FBI Special Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) carries a Walther PPK. The pistol seen in the first screen cap is one that she took from an enemy agent, in the other screen cap you can see the slide mounted safety. before carrying the PPK she was carrying a Bernardelli .380 pocket pistol.

Also Fox Mulder can be seen carrying a Walther PPK as a back up pistol to his main sidearm, kept in an ankle holster.

It is also worth noting in Season 8 episode 11 titled "The Gift" flashbacks are shown of Fox Mulder using his PPK to shoot and attempt to kill a soul eater who cured him of a terminal disease, to relieve it of it's suffering. After which Agent Dogget discovers the Walther taped under Mulder's bathroom sink in it's holster.

Colt AR15 Sporter-1 (SP1)

There are many episodes, especially in the early seasons, where U.S. military personnel are armed with civilian Colt AR15 Sporter-1s with M16A2-style hand guards, standing in for the real M16A2 service rifles that the soldiers should be using. You can tell because the receivers of the guns don't have the "fencing" around the magazine release, plus they lack the A2-style rear sights, shell deflectors, and forward assists.

They are not M16A1s. They are very early-model civilian AR15 SP1s which, unlike MoviePropMaster's gun, don't have the forward assist and probably aren't even converted to fire auto. The reason why they're using these is because the budget for this show was probably so low that the property master figured there was no reason to give them transferable full-auto M16s, which would cost more to rent and require paying a licensed armorer to be present on-set, when they could have something that looks almost identical and wouldn't be noticeable to a casual observer.

Norinco Type 84S

The Norinco Type 84S can be seen in limited numbers (two rifles being seen) in the hands of the Russian guards at the Tunguska gulag in the episode "Terma". In the episode "Patient X" when a unit of Russian soliders led by Alex Krycek encountered a UN military force at a UFO abduction site in Kazakhstan, two Russian soldiers were seen armed with AK rifles while the rest of the unit were armed with clubs/nightsticks. There is a possibility that there were not many AK rifles available in Vancouver during the mid-1990s, which could explain why only two soldiers/gulag guards were armed with rifles while the others were armed with nightsticks. Also, it makes little sense that Russian soldiers would use the Chinese Type 84.

Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine gun

There are lots of Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns in many episodes. Some of the non-firing MP5s appear to be Tokyo Marui spring-powered airsoft guns, though of course real MP5s are used in firing scenes. In one episode, Scully wields an MP5A3 with a Surefire forearm during a scene where she and Mulder participate in an FBI takedown of a militia group.
