Archer - Season 2 Poster Country USA Channel FX Genre Spy / Workplace comedy Broadcast 2011 No. of Episodes 13

The following weapons were used in Season 2 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.

Archer aims his PPK in "A Going Concern" (S02E02).

Cyril fires Archer's PPK in "Tragical History." In season 2, the animators added the cycling animation.

"Cry 'Havoc' and let slip the hogs of war!" (Or whatever farm animal of war.)

M1911

M1911A1 pistols appeared in season 2. It is the sidearm of Ray Gillette. Archer uses it in "Placebo Effect," mainly as a tribute to Magnum P.I. None of the M1911s in the series appear to have safeties, however.

"Gandalf" approaches Archer and Lana with an M1911 drawn in "Pipeline Fever." Apparently, no one explained to them how reservations work.

Dr. Krieger puts down his hybrid pig/boy in "Stage Two." "Oh Piggly..."

"Did you see Regis this morning?" Archer pays tribute to Magnum P.I. in "Placebo Effect."

After Cyril shoots Brett again, Lana decides to unload his pistol. She also remembers to eject the round in the chamber. ("El Secuestro.")

Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer

It is revealed in flashbacks that Malory Archer used a Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer when she was a field agent ("Double Deuce").

Tokarev TT-33

In the Archer universe, the official sidearm of Soviet Forces is still the Tokarev TT-33 Pistol.

Barry Dillon shoots his way out of a Soviet checkpoint in "White Nights." The TT-33 is in mid-battery.

"What? We don't have any 'peppers!'"

"What is this, a broken glass factory?"

Webley Mk IV

Woodhouse's old World War I squadron mate brings by a Webley Mk IV that had belonged to his old friend, Captain Reggie Thistleton in "Double Deuce." This is one of the few firearms referred to by name on this show. This Webley is later used to knock Archer out.

Webley Mk.IV WW2 British Army version chambered for .38 S&W

Although the British used Webley Mk VIs in World War I, this appears to be a Webley Mk IV.

"Oh, I'll just yank his pants off, splash a lot of scotch and women's underthings about, and then tell him he slipped and fell chasing a terrified Asian prostitute out onto the patio. It's not the first time I've bashed his head in and had to cover my tracks."

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." She mentions that it is a .44 Magnum during a flashback in "Pipeline Fever."

Malory chambers what appears to be a hollow-point round in "Double Trouble."

Malory, Lana and Ray come to Archer's apartment to kill Katya.

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.

"It wasn't a conversation, Lana, I was just talking TO my gun, not with it. Pretty big difference." (S02E02)

Barry reads "Desert Eagle" magazine in "A Going Concern" (S02E02). The animators did their homework between seasons.

Lana fires a Desert Eagle right next to Archer's ear in "Movie Star."

Luger P08

Krenshaw/Kremensky uses a Luger P08 in the pilot, "Mole Hunt." Lugers later show up in "Double Deuce," "El Secuestro" and "Fugue and Riffs."

Luger P08 - 9x19mm

Shotguns

Sawed-off Double Barreled Shotgun

When he doesn't have to worry about concealment (and even when he does) Archer carries a Sawed-off double barreled shotgun that he "borrowed" from Woodhouse in "Pipeline Fever." Apparently, Bama McCall in Gator made a big impression on him. Woodhouse is also shown using (presumably) the same gun in flashbacks.

Submachine Guns

TEC-9

Lana Kane is often seen with a pair of TEC-9s, 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. Later in season 2, she can be seen carrying them in her shoulder rig. Archer takes one in "Swiss Miss" (S02E01). In "Double Trouble", she carries what appears to be a pair of nickle plated or silver TECs, after Katya ruins her main pair by shooting the barrels. They are not seen again.

Intratec TEC-9 9x19mm

Lana loads up her TEC-9 in "Swiss Miss" (S02E01).

Archer tries to fire Lana's empty TEC-9 in "Swiss Miss" (S02E01). It is not known why Lana carried her TEC-9 with an empty mag in place.

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

Heckler & Koch PSG-1

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

Archer uses a Walther WA 2000 sniper rifle in "Placebo Effect" to take out some guards.

"Well excuse me, Lana, it's a rampage!"

"Plus, I can only assume a Brazilian mob would be a jillion times sexier."

Mauser Gewehr 1898

A German sniper sees Woodhouse and Reggie after Woodhouse braves No Man's Land to save Reggie in "Double Deuce." The bolt is on the wrong side of the rifle.

Grenades/Explosives

Mk 2 hand grenade

Archer lodges a Mk 2 hand grenade into the anus of an Irish gangster to persuade him to divulge the location of his boss in "Placebo Effect." Several are thrown, only to be caught and tossed back by Archer lacrosse style, in "Heart of Archness, Pt. II". The animators also used the same model for a flash bang grenade.

Mk 2 "Pineapple" High-Explosive Fragmentation hand grenade

This is a shot from Archer's suit up scene earlier in the episode, but there's a good possibility that this is the actual grenade Archer sticks in the guy's butt.

Archer removes the pin from the Mk 2 grenade lodged up Whitey's anus.

The pirates toss a Mk 2 grenade into the radio room. The animators left the spoon in place.

RPG-7

Among the ISIS equipment that Cyril, Krieger and Pam fence to gangsters in "Jeu Monégasque" is an RPG-7.

RPG-7 - 40mm

Gangsters off to fence RPG-7s, computers, a bullet-proof tuxedo jacket, and Pam's puffy stickers.

Miscellaneous

The ISIS Armory

The ISIS armory has a large collection of weaponry on its walls, much of it accurately rendered, except for scale. The Sa. Vz.61 Skorpion for example, is ludicrously large.

This is the widest shot of the armory. From top right, excluding the pistols, which are too small in this shot, there are two MP5SD3s, a Bren gun, two AK-74s, a Lewis gun, and pistols that are covered below. From top left, there are two RPG-7s, a FIM-92A Stinger, a PIAT, an M60 machine gun, an MP40, a ridiculously over-sized Sa. Vz.61 Skorpion, an Uzi, Heckler & Koch P7M8 and a Walther MPL.

This is a closer shot of some of the pistols from "Movie Star." You can see a Beretta 92, a Luger P08, an out of scale AMC Auto Mag Pistol, and the grip of a H&K P7.

This shot from "El Secuestro" shows a bit more. To the extreme left, there appears to be some M16A2 rifles, or possibly some M16A1s with A2 handguards. You can also see Lana's TEC-9 under her shoulder and what looks like the front view of a Walther MPL

.

This shot from "Bloody Ferlin" shows another angle of the first shot.
