The Anomaly research team frequently uses a stainless-steel 12 gauge single-barreled breach-loading shotgun with black synthetic furniture, rails, Red Dot Sight, flashlight, and bipod. This gun, like others on the show, impersonates a tranquilizer gun. The ARC team possesses at least two of these weapons.

==Madbull AGX Grenade Launcher==
Captain Becker (Ben Mansfield) has what appears to be a short-barreled Heckler & Koch AG-C grenade launcher mounted to the handguard of his G36C. This prop is actually a Madbull AGX, an airsoft launcher that can be distinguished from a real AG-C due to it's short barrel and side clamping Picatinny rail mounting system.

==Electro Muscular Disruption weapons==
In season four, the ARC program is restructured and most of the weapons used by the ARC teams are retired to the armory and replaced with a fictional weapon series referred to as Electro Muscular Disruption weapons, or "EMD" for short (the EMD props appear to be built out of some sort of power tool, possibly a nail gun). The exact mechanics of these weapons are not elaborated on, but they are described as being similar in concept to a Taser in that their primary effect is to administer a strong electrical shock to whatever they hit. EMD shots also appear to have a kinetic effect on targets, as smaller creatures hit by an EMD are often sent reeling from the impact and the shots are capable of ricocheting off of flat metal surfaces. The power of each shot is widely adjustable, and there are four different EMD configurations seen in the show. All EMDs are outfitted with flashlights while in the field.
===EMD Pistol===
The smallest EMD variant is a basic pistol configuration, and is frequently used by both Abby (Hannah Spearritt) and Connor (Andrew Lee Potts) in place of their pistols from the previous seasons.
===EMD Two-Handed Pistol===
Similar to the pistol EMD variant, this EMD features a shortened barrel and lacks a stock, but features the vertical foregrip seen on larger EMD variants.
===EMD Carbine===
A medium-sized variant, this EMD features a short barrel (just a few inches longer than the EMD pistol barrel), two vertical foregrips, and a tube stock. This version is commonly seen in the hands of the various unnamed ARC soldiers.
===EMD Rifle===
The largest EMD variant is a full-sized rifle with a full-length barrel and a (possibly adjustable) stock. This is the variant that Matt Anderson (Ciarán McMenamin) and Captain Becker (Ben Mansfield) use the most.
