The first episode of Archer aired on September 17th, 2009 to coincide with the fifth season premiere of fellow FX comedy It's Always Sunny in Philadelpha, but the rest of the season didn't follow until January the next year. It was the fourth series created/co-created by Adam Reed, following Sealab 2021, Frisky Dingo, and its short-lives spinoff, The Xtacles, all of which ran on Adult Swim.

The following weapons were used in Season 1 of the television series Archer:


Handguns

Walther PPK

Sterling Archer's primary sidearm is a Walther PPK. The rendering of the PPK improves as the show goes on, but it's very primitive during the first season. 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.

Submachine Guns

TEC-9

Lana Kane is often seen with a pair of TEC-9's, 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.

Rocket Launcher

Skorpio's henchmen prepare to fire rocket launchers at Archer and Lana in "Skorpio." These are probably supposed to be FIM-43 Redeye missiles, since Skorpio was supposed to be selling them, but don't look like Redeyes at all.

".25 cal Chekhov"

This is the pistol that Archer gives to Cyril in "Training Day." The name comes from the literary technique "Chekhov's gun," which comes into play later in this episode. It's never seen again after "Training Day." They can never seem to nail down a design. According to the companion book How to Archer: The Ultimate Guide to Espionage and Style and Women and Also Cocktails Ever Written, it's supposed to be a Walther TPH.

Scaling issues

Scaling, as seen in the armory shots above, used to be a problem, especially in the early episodes.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Archer looks at the equipment that Krieger issued for Cyril in the second episode, "Training Day." There's what appears to be an out of scale SIG-Sauer P220, which, compared to the poison pen, (and the cap which slips off for like, no reason), might be only four inches long.

A closer shot. It is properly scaled by episode 4.

The PPK

Consistency was also not a strongpoint in Season 1.
