Archer - Season 1 Poster Country USA Channel FX Genre Spy / Workplace comedy Broadcast 2009-2010 No. of Episodes 10

The following weapons were used in Season 1 of the television series Archer:

Handguns

Walther PPK

Sterling Archer's primary sidearm is a Walther PPK. In the early episodes, the pistol lacked detail, but by the end of season 2, there was so much detail, the serial number was visible. In season 2's "Tragical History" Archer correctly describes the pistol as having a seven shot capacity. According to the companion book How to Archer: The Ultimate Guide to Espionage and Style and Women and Also Cocktails Ever Written, his PPK is chambered in .32 ACP.

Walther PPK stainless - 9mm Kurz aka 9x17mm (.380 ACP)

"Oh ho, *I'm* queer. From the guy whose tiny gun came with a matching purse!" (Notice the lack of any details on the gun.)

A drunken Archer drops his pistol on stone steps in "Dial M for Mother."

Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer

Manfred has a Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer as his sidearm, using it to shoot Torvald Utne (not the Olympic shot-putter) in "Killing Utne."

Manfred guns down Utne in full auto, and not using blanks. (Unless the back of his skull decided at that exact moment to explode outward.)

Manfred shoos away Trinette in "Dial M for Mother."

Beretta 92F

Captain Lammers uses a Beretta 92F in "Skytanic." Archer also uses a suppressed Beretta 92F in one scene in "Skorpio." Lana Kane also carries a pair of Beretta 92F pistols in a dual-pistol shoulder rig.

"What? They're YOUR clothes, idiot!"

"Torvald, feel free to cup anything in the room." ("Killing Utne")

A better shot of Lana's Berettas.

Smith & Wesson Model 629

Since retiring from the field, Malory Archer's primary handgun is a Smith & Wesson Model 629, tricked out with a scope and laser. She sleeps with it by her beside in "Dial M for Mother."

Smith & Wesson Model 629 with Hogue Grips - .44 magnum

"Who's there? What do you want? Because all you're going to get is holes. I mean, holes in YOU!"

Malory fires on Archer as he's chopping through her door with a cleaver. He somehow survives six .44 Magnum rounds to the chest.

Desert Eagle Mark VII

Archer's rival, Barry Dillon, carries a nickel Desert Eagle Mark VII which he talks TO, not WITH. Lana Kane also uses a nickel Desert Eagle on occasion.

Desert Eagle MK VII - .44 Magnum w/ nickel finish.

Ramon Limon firing a blued Desert Eagle in "Honeypot."

"It wasn't a conversation, Lana, I was just talking TO my gun, not with it. Pretty big difference."

"Oh my God, I can't believe they fell for that." The first of THREE(!) Russian roulette scenes in the series.

SIG-Sauer P226

A SIG-Sauer P226 is seen on the floor in "Skorpio." It is missing most of its controls.

A factory black (K-Kote) SIG-Sauer P226 pistol chambered in 9x19mm. This is a real movie gun and has appeared in several motion pictures.

One of Skorpio's henchman reaches for the P226 before Archer puts a bullet through his head.

Unidentified pistol

Major Jakov's assistant uses an unknown pistol in "Dial M for Mother" (S01E10).

Submachine Guns

TEC-9

Lana Kane is often seen with a pair of TEC-9's, which would be a good fit for her Johnny Bench-ian, steam-shovelly, Truckasaurus hands. According to the dialogue, they are TEC-9s, and fire full auto, but lack the sling rings of a TEC-9.

Intratec TEC-9 9x19mm

Lana holds off ODIN agents in "The Rock." (Note the lack of sling rings and location of the cocking handles.

Ramon Limon with a TEC-9 he hid in the salad.

MP40

The MP40 is the SMG seen most on "Archer." ODIN agents use it almost exclusively, as do gay interior decorators/assassins for hire Charles and Rudy in "Hon

MP40 9x19mm

"Get on the floor, you tacky-ass, white-after-Labour Day-wearing bitches!" (Thank you!)

Lana holds off Skorpio's goon (in her Fiocchi knockoffs) with a MP40 in "Skorpio."

ODIN agents scramble in "The Rock."

Rifles

AK-47

The AK-47 shows up numerous times during the series. They appear to be based on real AK-47s, with the milled receiver and open-topped front sight.

Type II AK-47 - 7.62x39mm

Type III AK-47 - 7.62x39mm

Note the open-topped front site on Archer's AK-47 in "Skorpio." (And how often is an animated character captured in mid-blink?)

M14

Cyril channels Private Pyle from Full Metal Jacket with an M14 after Lana decides to sleep with all the men at ISIS as a form of revenge in "Dial M for Mother."

M14 rifle - 7.62x51mm NATO

"Seven, six, two, millimeter. Full. Metal. Jacket- SOMEONE'S IN HERE!"

M21

An M21 rifle is seen in a crate during a flashback to the last moments of Agents Ruiz, Pak, and Mgumbe (all of which recycle the same background) in "Diversity Hire."

M21 Sniper Rifle 7.62x51mm NATO

"Ruiz! Hey man, talk to these chicks, alright? Tell them how we're really ISIS agents, they don't believe me. Helloooo, Senor Wingmaannnn..."

Heckler & Koch PSG-1

Except in one instance, the Heckler & Koch PSG-1 is the primary sniper rifle of ISIS.

Heckler & Koch PSG-1 - 7.62x51mm NATO with 20 round magazine.

"A Charles Whitman Sampler?" ("Diversity Hire")

Machine Guns

Browning M2HB

An ODIN agents fires from a mounted M2HB heavy machine gun in "The Rock."

So, is it just bolted into the masonry?

Grenades/Explosives

M18A1 Claymore

Ramon Limon has a M18A1 Claymore handy to decorate Malory's old apartment in Miami ("Honeypot"). Archer, showing some competence, disarms a Claymore in "El Contador".

M18A1 Claymore anti-personnel mine

Claymore and detonator.

"Oh crap."

M67 hand grenade

Archer pulls out an M67 hand grenade after Skorpio confronts Lana and him after their threesome.

M67 fragmentation grenade

"Damn, I had something for this too...ummmm...dammit! Eat grenade, stupids!"

Miscellaneous

Rocket Launcher

Skorpio's henchmen prepare to fire rocket launchers at Archer and Lana in "Skorpio." These are probably supposed to be FIM-43 Redeye missiles, since Skorpio was supposed to be selling them, but don't look like Redeyes at all.

".25 cal Chekhov"

This is the pistol that Archer gives to Cyril in "Training Day." The name comes from the literary technique "Chekhov's gun," which comes into play later in this episode. It's never seen again after "Training Day." Possibly a North American Arms Guardian chambered in .25.

Cyril using the "Chekhov" during a live fire exercise in Archer's apartment.

Scaling issues

Scaling, as seen in the armory shots above, used to be a problem, especially in the early episodes.

[[Image:Archer_scaling.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Archer looks at the equipment that Krieger issued for Cyril in the second episode, "Training Day." There's what appears to be an out of scale SIG-Sauer P220, which, compared to the poison pen, (and the cap which slips off for like, no reason), might be only four inches long.]]

A closer shot. It is properly scaled by episode 4.
