The following weapons were used in Season 4 of the television series The Man in the High Castle:
Pistols
Colt M1911A1
The M1911A1 pistol is used by resistance fighters throughout the series.
Makarov PM
The Makarov PM is seen in the hands of Black Communist Rebellion members. It is possible that they might be standing-in for Norinco Type 59 pistols, as the BCR is said to have sourced most of their weapons from China in this universe's alternate history.
Nambu Type 14
Members of the Imperial Japanese Army and the Kempeitai, including Chief Inspector Takeshi Kido (Joel de la Fuente) as well as Corporal Toru Kido (Sen Mitsuji) carry the Nambu Type 14 as their main sidearm.
Walther P38
The Walther P38 continues to be the default sidearm used by various police and military armed forces of the GNR.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
The Heckler & Koch MP5A3 sub-machine guns with curved magazines and slim forearms continue to serve the GNR as their primary sub-machine gun throughout the season.
M1928A1 Thompson
The American resistance fighters carry M1928A1 Thompsons.
PPS-43
Black Communist Rebellion members are seen using PPS-43 as their standard issue submachine gun.
Rifles
Arisaka Type 38
The shorter length Arisaka Type 38 Carbines are used frequently by Kempeitai and Imperial Japanese Army soldiers whenever they're not using the newer Howa Type 64. In several flashbacks, Toru Kido (Sen Mitsuji) is seen using a full-length Type 38 rifle with an attached Type 30 bayonet during his service in Manchuria.
Karabiner 98k
The Karabiner 98k is seen used by GNR and SS Honor Guards throughout the season.
M1A1 Carbine
M1 Carbines are seen in the hands of resistance fighters thoughout the show. The carbines are seen in a peculiar configuration; M1A1 paratrooper folding stocks with metal perforated heat shields and post-war adjustable sights.
M1 Garand
An American Resistance member is seen using a M1 Garand during the defense of Denver.
Battle Rifles
Howa Type 64
The Howa Type 64 is seen with the Imperial Japanese Army, Navy and Kempeitai troops throughout the show, being more prominently featured as a replacement for their Arisaka bolt-action rifles. The rifles used in the show are airsoft replicas made by S&T Armament, a Hong Kong-based airsoft manufacturer as the Type 64 and other post-war weapons are banned from export under Japanese law.
Heckler & Koch G3A3
The Heckler & Koch G3 continues to be seen as the standard service rifle for Greater Nazi Reich soldiers.
Assault Rifles
Norinco Type 56/-1
Several Black Communist Rebellion members are seen using Norinco Type 56-1 rifles with folding stocks. Chief Inspector Kido (Joel de la Fuente) is seen using one with fixed stock after commandeering it from a resistance member. The existence of the Avtomat Kalashnikova-series of rifles is explained by them acquiring Chinese copies smuggled overseas, with Kalashnikov rifles somehow in full production despite the defeat of the USSR in the current alternate universe.
Norinco Type 84S-1
Fighters from the BCR and later, the American Resistance are seen using Norinco Type 84S-1 assault rifles with underfolding stocks as their main service rifle. While the characters in-universe remark about their origin being from China is correct, the appearance of these rifles is still highly anachronistic as the 84S was manufactured in the 80s for export purposes.
Zastava M70
An Zastava M70 assault rifle is seen used by Juliana Crain Alexa Davalos later in the season. Curiously they seem to be fitted with the original AK-47 muzzle brake.
Shotguns
Winchester Model 1912
Captain Iijima (Rich Ting) uses a Winchester Model 1912, the Kempeitai apparently having adopted it as their standard-issue shotgun while operating in the Pacific States.
Machine Guns
Browning M2
The Browning M2 is seen used by American Resistance forces and the Imperial Japanese Army.
DShK
A DShK is seen mounted on a Imperial Japanese border patrol vehicle, and later mounted in street barricades in San Francisco. Greater Nazi Reich T-54 MBTs are seen in background shots with mounted DShKs as well.
KPVT
The KPVT is seen with GNR security forces in BRDM-2s and a BTR-80, doubling as GNR military armored vehicles.
M60 Machine Gun
In archival footage of the escalating situation in Vietnam, an American helicopter door gunner is seen using a M60 Machine Gun.
MG42
A shielded MG42 is seen mounted on the commander's hatch of a Centurion MBT standing in for a GNR "Panzer".
