The following firearms were used in Season 4 of the television series The X-Files.
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Pistols
SIG-Sauer P226
After carrying a different weapon in Season 3, FBI Special Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) returns to carrying a SIG-Sauer P226 as his sidearm, which he carried during Season 2. Mulder would carry the P226 for the entirety of the show from Season 4 onwards. Mulder's superior, FBI Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) is also seen with a full-size P226 in "Unrequited" (S4E16).
SIG-Sauer P228
After carrying a different weapon in Season 3, FBI Special Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) returns to carrying a SIG-Sauer P228 as her sidearm, which she carried during Season 2. Scully would carry the P228 for the entirety of the show from Season 4 onwards, except for several Season 4 and Season 5 episodes when she used a SIG-Sauer P225 instead (see below). FBI Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) is also seen with a P228 in "Zero Sum" (S4E21), as is Alex Krycek (Nicholas Lea) in "Tunguska" (S4E08).
SIG-Sauer P225
In several episodes, Dana Scully used a SIG-Sauer P225 rather than the P228 she used in Season 2 and other episodes of Season 4. This might have occurred because the show's armorer was unable to bring a P228 on-set for those particular episodes. Scully first used the P225 in "Unruhe" (S4E02), and would be seen using the gun in interspersed episodes throughout Season 4. Mulder and Scully's superior, Assistant Director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) also occasionally carried a P225.
Walther PPK
Fox Mulder carries a Walther PPK as a back up weapon, carried in an ankle holster. He is seen using it when he loses his SIG-Sauer P226 during "Paper Hearts" (S4E10).
Smith & Wesson 5906
Special Agent Dana Scully is seen using the Smith & Wesson 5906 handgun that she used in Season 3 in the Season 4 premier episode "Herrenvolk" (S4E01).
M1911A1
Nathaniel Teager uses an M1911A1 to shoot several U.S. Army generals in "Unrequited" (S4E16). Skinner also appears to use a M1911A1 in one scene from "Zero Sum" (S4E21).
Jericho 941
The Gray-Haired Man (Morris Panych) uses a nickel-plated Jericho 941 to shoot at a pane of glass between him and Fox Mulder during "Memento Mori" (S4E14), reloading several times.
Taurus PT92AFS
A nickel-plated Taurus PT92AFS is used by a potential military witness to commit suicide in "Max" (S4E18).
Makarov PM
In the episode "Terma" (S4E09), 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.
Ruger KP89
'Deep Throat' (Jerry Hardin) uses a Ruger KP89 to shoot an alien in "Musings of a Cigarette-Smoking Man" (S4E07).
CZ 75
Scott Garett uses a CZ 75 pistol in an attempt to shoot Louis Frish, a military witness, in "Max" (S4E18).
Revolvers
Colt Detective Special
Lee Harvey Oswald uses a Colt Detective Special to shoot a policeman during episode "Musings of a Cigarette-Smoking Man" (S4E07).
Taurus Model 66
Conrad Lozano (Rubén Blades) carries a stainless Taurus Model 66 in "El Mundo Gira" (S4E11). Soledad Buente (Jose Yenque) also uses the revolver at one point. This is almost surely the same Taurus Model 66 which previously appeared in the Season 3 episode "Pusher" (S3E17).
Mulder's revolver
In a dream during "Paper Hearts" (S4E10), Fox Mulder grabs his father's revolver from a box. This is the same revolver he attempted to use to save his sister Samantha from alien abduction as a child, seen briefly during Season 2's "Little Green Men" (S2E01).
Unknown revolvers
Throughout the season, many characters use various revolvers. Few are seen very clearly.
Rifles
Colt Model 715/Olympic Arms K4B (mocked up as M16A1)
Militia gunmen and several FBI agents in the episode "Tunguska" (S4E08) use Colt Model 715 rifles (or the Olympic Arms K4B copy, which is commonly used by armorers in British Columbia) fitted with M16A1 hand guards. Apparently, the armorers had no genuine M16A1s to use when the episode was filmed.
M14
An M14 rifle is used by members of the Temple of the Seven Stars during "The Field Where I Died" (S4E05) and a militia gunman in "Tunguska" (S4E08).
Heckler & Koch HK91A2
HK91A2 rifles are used by members of the Temple of the Seven Stars in "The Field Where I Died" (S4E05).
Norinco Type 84S
The Norinco Type 84S is seen used by guards at the Tunguska gulag in the episode "Terma" (S4E09).
Muzzelite MZ14 Bullpup
An Muzzelite MZ14 Bullpup is one of the weapons carried out of Denny Markham's compound in "Unrequited" (S4E16).
The Cigarette-Smoking Man's Rifles
The Cigarette-Smoking Man uses three rifles during "Musings of a Cigarette-Smoking Man" (S4E07).
First Rifle
Second Rifle
Ruger Super Redhawk (mocked up to resemble the KAC silent revolver rifle)
The third rifle is what appears to be a Ruger Super Redhawk .44 Magnum mocked up to resemble the KAC silent revolver rifle. This is a long barreled pistol has a carbine length bull barrel, and a bipod and black synthetic buttstock. The rifle has appeared in movies and television shows filmed in Canada including Another Stakeout and Psych. It was previously used in the X-Files by an FBI sniper in the Season 1 episode "Lazarus" (S1E14).
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Special Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) uses a Heckler & Koch MP5A3 with Surefire 628 flashlight forearm during the FBI raid on the militia in "Tunguska" (S4E08). Various soldiers also use MP5A3s through the show. Unlike in previous seasons of The X-Files, the MP5s are no longer fitted with flash hiders in Season 4.
(Mock-up) Heckler & Koch MP5K
What appear to be Heckler & Koch MP5Ks are seen used by government and military personnel. These do not appear to be real MP5Ks; but rather mock-ups built on the bolt carrier and magazine well of a Kimel AP-9, because the armorers in British Columbia did not have genuine MP5Ks during the 1990s. The same guns have also appeared in the film Crying Freeman and the series M.A.N.T.I.S. and The Outer Limits. These weapons are seen wielded by FBI SWAT agents in "The Field Where I Died" (S4E05).
Shotguns
Remington 870
Special Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) uses what appears to be a Remington Model 870 with a pistol grip and mounted flashlight during the FBI raid on the militia group in "Tunguska" (S4E08).
Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"
A custom Ithaca 37 "Stakeout" with a chrome finish on the barrel and magazine tube and an MP5K style pump is used by Scott Ostelhoff in "Gethsemane" (S4E24). This gun can also be seen in several episodes of the television series Supernatural, Human Target, Painkiller Jane, and several other TV shows filmed in British Columbia.
Franchi SPAS-15
One of the weapons carried out of Denny Markham's compound in "Unrequited" (S4E16) is a Franchi SPAS-15 combat shotgun.
Machine Guns
Daewoo K3 Paratrooper
In "Max" (S4E18), a Special Forces soldier from the recovery team is briefly seen at the UFO crash site armed with a Daewoo K3 Paratrooper.
GE M134 Minigun
In "Max" (S4E18), a military jeep is seen driving through the UFO crash site armed with a GE M134 Minigun.
Other
M47 Dragon
One of the soldiers exiting Denny Markham's compound in "Unrequited" (S4E16) appears to be carrying an M47 Dragon.
M136 AT4
One of the soldiers exiting Denny Markham's compound in "Unrequited" (S4E16) appears to be carrying an M136 (AT4) rocket launcher.
Composite Pistol
In "Tempus Fugit" (S4E17) and "Max" (S4E18), various members of the Conspiracy use Composite Pistols. These seem to take after the weapon featured in the film In the Line of Fire, but have a different overall look and color than the weapon from that film.
