The following weapons were used in Season 2 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), Amos Burton (Wes Chatham) and Alex Kamal (Cas Anvar) after they acquired them in Season 1. Naomi Nagata (Dominique Tipper) briefly carries one in "The Seventh Man" (S2E07), and Camina Drummer (Cara Gee) uses one in "Pyre" (S2E08). Dr. Praxideke Meng (Terry Chen) is given one by Amos in "Here There Be Dragons" (S2E11). It is suggested that by the time of the second season, these pistols are now in the process of being replaced by the MMC.
A 2nd Gen "Martian Pistol", also a modified version of the WE X Series IPSC Airsoft Pistol with a slightly different design, is briefly seen in aboard the MCRN Sirocco in "Safe" (S2E01).
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, including members of the United Nations Navy, staff at Tycho Station such as Fred Johnson (Chad L. Coleman) and Camina Drummer (Cara Gee), as well as other members of the OPA such as Diogo Harari (Andrew Rotilio) and Staz (Alden Adair). Star Helix officers on Ganymede in "The Weeping Somnambulist" (S2E09) carry them as standard issue sidearms.
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 is seen carried by multiple members of the OPA team sent to breach the spin station in "Doors and Corners" (S2E02). Members of the OPA guarding the brig on Tycho Station also carry modified variants of the rifle.
Heckler & Koch SL8-4 - 5.56x45mm. This variant is not imported into the US due to its double stack magazine well, which allows it to use flush fitting 10 round magazines.
