In the episode "Terma" (4.09), a number of Russian guards on horseback are seen armed with Makarov PM handguns as they shoot at Mulder while he is escaping the Tunguska gulag.
There were several episodes, mostly in Season 5, where Scully used a SIG-Sauer P225 rather than the P228 she used normally. This might have occurred because the show's armorer was unable to bring a P228 on-set for those particular episodes. Scully used the P225 from episode 4.02 "Unruhe" until episode 5.20 "The End".
Starting with episode 2.01, "Little Green Men,", Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) used a SIG-Sauer P226. Following this episode, Mulder carried the P226 for the entirety of the show, with the exception of Season 3, when he and Scully both used Smith & Wesson 5906s.
Although they use SIG-Sauer pistols in Season 2, both Mulder and Scully switch to using Smith & Wesson 5906s as their sidearms for all of Season 3. After this season, they resume using their respective SIG pistols (P226 for Mulder, P228 for Scully). Skinner is also seen using a 5906 as his carry weapon. The 5906, chambered to fire 9 mm Luger (Parabellum) ammunition, has fully ambidextrous safety levers, a one piece rear wraparound grip, construction is all stainless steel. The 5906 (S&W 3rd generation) version used by Mulder and Scully has an adjustable rear sight, black trigger and hammer.
Mulder and Scully used the 5906 from episode 3.03 "D.P.O." until episode 4.01 "Herrenvolk".
NOTE: Several users have suggested that these pistols might be the Smith & Wesson 1076 in 10mm, which was briefly used by the FBI. This is incorrect; the 1076 has a single-stack frame, while the pistols in the show have double-stack frames, meaning that they can only be the model S&W 5906. The show's guns are not the .40-caliber model 4006, because the 4006's frame features checkering on the grip, missing on the show's Smith & Wessons (the 5906 frame has vertical grooves on the grip). The model S&W 1076 can be easily distinguished from the S&W 5906, as the 1076 is hammerless, has no manual safety and a frame mounted de-cocking lever. This is a TV show, not real life, and movie/television armorers have always tended to use 9mm pistols rather than larger calibers, because 9mm blanks are more reliable to cycle in pistols than larger calibers.
During episode 4.07 "Musings of a Cigarette-Smoking Man", the police who attempt to Lee Harvey Oswald are armed with various revolvers. None are seen very clearly.

Rifles
M16A1 rifle
The M16A1 rifle was used on a regular basis throughout The X-Files run as either a military and/or SWAT weapon. M16A1 rifles are used by the militia gunmen in the episode "Tunguska" (Episode 4.08).
The Norinco Type 84S was often used on the show by Russian soldiers (as an AK-74 stand-in). It was first seen used by guards at the Tunguska gulag in the episode "Terma" (Episode 4.09).
The Cigarette-Smoking Man uses three rifles during episode 4.07, "Musings of a Cigarette-Smoking Man".
