this post is old enough to be in middle school but i think its so cool what scully and mulder’s choice in firearms say about them as people!! like mulder preferring the slightly out there (at the time) glock 19 with a polymer frame wheras scully uses a walther, something easier to conceal (and something associated with james bond!) shows their different approaches to fieldwork

also, its so funny to me that the two of them were repeatedly up against forces beyond our comprehension and they didn’t think to switch to 10mm auto until so much later (or if you wanna be more charitable they probably realized that enough of their time chasing down the paranormal was going to end in a firefight that they decided the added weight, bulk, and recoil of the 10mm s&w 1076 was worth the stopping power it brought to the table)

TRUE X-FACT: The guns used by Mulder & Scully changed 3 times. In the pilot, Mulder carried a Taurus 92 Automatic, firing 9mm rounds. Scully carried a Bernadelli 7.65. Mulder later switched to a Glock 19 & Scully to a Walther PPK 7.65. In the first few episodes of the second season, they were both carrying Sig Sauer’s. Mulder, a 226 & Scully, a 228. They then finished up with FBI standard weapons. Smith & Wesson 1076 with 10mm rounds.
