The following weapons were used in Season 8 of the television series Archer:

Season 8 of Archer, now titled "Dreamland", takes place in 1947 in his head as he is in a coma. In this alternate universe, Archer is now a P.I. investigating the death of his partner (former servant) Woodhouse. All of the characters have new personalities and have been reintroduced to different roles, where Lana is now a singer at a bar, Pam is now a guy, and Malory, who goes by the name "Mother", is now the head of an mob organization that runs a jazz bar.

Handguns

Colt M1911A1

Archer's iconic Walther PPK has been switched to the American Colt M1911A1. Unlike previous seasons, Archer's M1911 is blued steel instead of satin nickel. Close up shots reveal that Archer's sidearm is also worn-out and has scratch markings on it, which could mean this is the same .45 he was issued when he was in the Army.
