The following weapons were used in Season 3 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.
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. In the three part season 3 premiere, Rip Reilly carries a nickle plated M1911 with white grips, and the gun ends up being used by several characters over the three-episode arc. There are numerous continuity problems though, as the grips change back and forth from white to black. In the season four premiere a KGB hitman carries one in the assassimation attempt on Archer/Bob.
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. Canadian Mounties are later shown to be armed with Webleys in "The Limited" (S03E06).
Shotguns
Double Barreled Shotgun
Burt Reynolds is armed with a Double Barreled Shotgun in "The Man from Jupiter" (S03E04).
Mossberg 500
Ray's brother Randy uses a Mossberg 500 in "Bloody Ferlin" (S03E09).
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. Later in season 2, she can be seen carrying them in her shoulder rig. Archer takes one in "Swiss Miss." 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.
Steyr TMP
Some members of a Cuban hit squad are armed with Steyr TMP SMGs ("Diversity Hire.")
Uzi
Other members of the Cuban hit squad are armed with Uzi SMGs ("Diversity Hire.") The Cuban hit squad returns with Uzi's in "The Man from Jupiter" (S03E04). The Yakuza have them in "Drift Problem" (S03E07)
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.
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." Cyril and Calzado hunt for Archer and Lana with M14s in the Colombian jungle before Cyril catches up with Lana in "El Contador" (S03E05). Randy Gillette has one in "Bloody Ferlin" (S03E09) that fires full auto. Luke Troy uses a scoped M14 in "The Wind Cries Mary" (S04E02).
XM16E1
Archer and Lana carry XM16E1 rifles in "El Contador." They are armed with them again in "Drift Problem" (S03E07). Like all the other guns, the animators often mix up the sides.
Machine Guns
Hybrid M60
In "Heart of Archness Pt.III," Lana fires on pirates with a hybrid M60 door gun from a UH-1 Huey. This M60 has spade grips like a M60D but still retains the forward hand guard. Another is seen in Krieger's van, being sold with other weapons from the ISIS armoury.
Browning M1919
A pair of Browning M1919 machine guns deploy from the grill of the Dodge Challenger Special Agent Edition in "Drift Problem".
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".
M67 hand grenade
Archer pulls out an M67 hand grenade after Skorpio confronts Lana and him after their threesome. Lana carries a pair of M67's in "El Contador."
M26 hand grenade
Archer has a black M26 hand grenade in "El Contador."
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.
RPG-7
Among the ISIS equipment that Cyril, Krieger and Pam fence to gangsters in "Jeu Monégasque" is an RPG-7.
Miscellaneous
Orion Flare Gun
Rip Riley threatens Archer with an Orion Flare Gun in "Heart of Archness, Part 1".
Palmer Cap-Chur Short Range Projector
Krieger uses a Palmer Cap-Chur Short Range Projector tranquillizer gun in "El Contador".
"M41 Mark 2 Plasma Pulse Rifle"
The "M41 Mark 2 Plasma Pulse Rifle" is used by ISIS and mutineers in the two part episode "Space Race". It has an underbarrel concussion grenade launcher. It bears some resemblance to the M41A Pulse Rifle.
"Ion Cannon"
The mutineers on the Horizon fire a bazooka-like "ion cannon" towards the ISIS team.
Oerlikon 20mm Cannon
The main armament of the pirate ship appears to be an Oerlikon 20mm Cannon.
SS-1 Scud missile
Two SS-1 Scud transporter erector launcher are shown in "Space Race (Part 1)" (S03E12).
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.
