"Oh my God! Is Beaker not the best? Mep mep mep!"

Archer realizing all his ammunition came from the ISIS armoury, which was seized by the FBI.

Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer

Hitmen-turned-drug dealers Charles and Rudy use Mauser M712 Schnellfeuers as their sidearms in "A Kiss While Dying" (S05E02). They lack details such as fire selectors.

Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer - 7.63x25mm Mauser.

Note that despite moving his thumb and the sound of a hammer cocking being played, the hammer does not move.

Desert Eagle Mark VII

Ramon Limon uses a nickel Desert Eagle Mark VII in "A Kiss While Dying" (S05E02). The President of San Marcos uses a number of blued Desert Eagles. Rather than reload any, he simply discards them when empty and has an aide bring him a replacement (S05E10).

Desert Eagle MK VII - .44 Magnum with nickel finish.

Smith & Wesson Model 10

FBI Agent Holly draws a snub-nosed Smith & Wesson Model 10 with a square butt when he hears Pam scream while going through withdrawal.

"Nobody move! Protective sweeep!"

(Hearing Ray crying) "My God, are they... torturing a woman? Hang on ma'am, I'm a federal agent, and I'm coming!"

"Obstructing! A federal agent! Is a felony! Punishable OW! By twenty years, if said obstruction results in the bodily injury of said agent, which I think may have just happened to said agent's rotator cuff."

"God damn it, just what do you people think the letters 'FBI' stand for?"

Smith & Wesson Model 66

Kenny Loggins uses a Smith & Wesson Model 66 in "Baby Shower" (S05E06) when he thinks Archer is after a briefcase containing... something.

Smith & Wesson Model 66 with 4" barrel & Hogue grips - .357 Magnum

For some reason, the ejector is on the wrong side.

We never do find out what is in that briefcase.

Kenny Loggins: "Drop it. Drop it on the ground." Archer: "Do you know how bad that is for it? I will place it on the ground."

Kenny Loggins, or "K-Log", realized he fired all six rounds at Archer.

Sub Machine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5A5

FBI agents use Heckler & Koch MP5A5s in during a raid on ISIS.

Heckler & Koch MP5A5 - 9x19mm

"Oh come on. How is this better than your fake fiftieth?"

TEC-9

Lana Kane retains her pair of TEC-9's, which are 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

"Sons of a... bitches! I am pregnant!" (S05E01)

"Sorry baby sorry baby sorry baby sorry baby"

Rifles

Winchester 1892 "Mare's Leg"

Archer uses a Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine cut down to a "Mare's Leg" with a large tear drop lever loop, similar to the later one used by Steve McQueen in Wanted: Dead or Alive, in "A Debt of Honor" (S05E03).

1st model Mare's Leg with rounded barrel and D loop. - .44-40

"Have you ever heard a country song?" ("Um... Danger Zone?")

Note the saddle ring.

At this point, Archer has fired at least 5 rounds. He's most likely out of ammo.

Lana passes around several Springfield 1861 percussion cap rifles when the Yakuza shows up (S05E03).

Charleville Musket

Lana carries a Charleville Musket in "A Debt of Honor" (S05E03). Why she would pick a musket over modern (and apparently loaded) alternatives is unknown.

Charleville Musket Mle 1766 - .69 caliber

Note that the weapon is mirrored. This is commonly done in the show when the weapon is shown from different sides, presumably to save time on drawing new artwork.

M16A1

Columbian paramilitary soldiers use M16A1s. Archer commandeers one. They appear to have birdcage flash hiders and lack chrome lined bolt carriers, but, due to an animation error, do not appear to even have magazine releases.

M16A1 with 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm. What distinguishes it from the original M16 was the addition of a raised rib around the magazine release button, changing of the forward Receiver pins, and the addition of the forward assist button on the upper receiver.

Note the forward assist is on the wrong side.

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

Shotguns

Blunderbuss

Pam chooses a flintlock Blunderbuss from Cheryl's family gun room, but doesn't fire it (S05E03, "A Debt of Honor"). Why she would choose such it over modern (and, according to Cheryl, loaded) rifles is unknown.

"Ugh. Are you laughing at 'dick trap'?"

Mossberg 500

Bikers use a Mossberg 500 with a sawn off stock in "Southbound and Down" (S05E05) when attacking Cherlene's tour bus. A drug trafficker (Christian Slater) shoots Archer with a bean bag round from a 500 with an extended magazine tube and full length stock (S05E09).
