Work In Progress

This article is still under construction. It may contain factual errors. See Talk:The X-Files for current discussions. Content is subject to change.

The following lists the seasons of the series The X-Files:

Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine gun

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

Colt AR-15 SP1 Rifle

There are many episodes, especially in the early seasons, where U.S. military personnel are armed with Colt AR-15 SP1 rifles with M16A2-style hand guards, standing in for the M16A2 service rifles that the soldiers should be using in real life. The viewer 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. These are not fired on the episode, but they can be full auto conversions since armorers in both Canada and the U.S. picked up many SP1 conversions during the 1970s and 1980s.

Soldiers conduct maintenance on their rifles; note the lack of a forward assist, shell deflector, and "fencing" around the magazine release; all tell-tale signs of an AR15 SP1.

Various pump-action shotguns

The pump-action shotgun was commonly used by many characters during The X-Files, namely in the hand of police officers, sheriffs, SWAT team members, FBI agents, and US soldiers. The kinds of pump-action shotguns used on The X-Files were mostly Remington 870s, Winchester 1300s, Mossberg 500s/590s, and Ithaca 37s
