The following weapons were used in Season 6 of the television series The Expanse:



Handguns

Springfield Armory XD(M)

The 1st Gen "Martian Pistol", heavily modified version of the WE X Series IPSC Airsoft Pistol, itself based on the Springfield Armory XD continues to be used by James Holden (Steven Strait) and Amos Burton (Wes Chatham) after they acquired them in Season 1. Members of the Martian Marine Corps are also seen carrying them as their standard issue sidearm throughout the season.

Note: In the context of the show, the weapons are stated to be "designed to fire both self-propelled rounds and traditional cartridge rounds, the rear of the barrel is vented at the back to eliminate recoil for use in zero-g situations".

Glock 26 Advanced

The "Star Helix Pistol", which is actually a visually modified Glock 26 Advanced Airsoft pistol (a fictional variant of the Glock 26 with an accessory rail, grip extension and compensated extended barrel originally manufactured by Tokyo Marui) continues to serve as the sidearm of many individuals in the series. This includes the United Nations Navy and most members of the Free Navy, such as Rosenfeld Guoliang (Kathleen Robertson). Camina Drummer (Cara Gee), Liang Walker (Stuart Hughes) and members of her independent faction also carry them as their weapon of choice.

Note: In the context of the show, they are described as a "common gun made from plastic polymers so it can be 3D printed cheaply and reliably. It is designed for reliability and ease of use".

Rifles

Heckler & Koch SL8-4

The "Star Helix Long Gun", which is actually an Airsoft Umarex SL9 resembling a Heckler & Koch SL8-4 with a G36K length barrel, handguard, and various futuristic modifications serves as the rifle of choice amongst many factions in the series. This includes the United Nations Navy, who carry tan variants, and various Belters and members of the Free Navy.

The airsoft weapon is specifically designed to be a Science Fiction variant, and is described as an "Advanced Main Battle Rifle".
