North and South: Book II (also known as North and South Book 2: Love and War, after the title of the original novel) is a 1986 6-part miniseries, the second part of a trilogy adapted from trilogy of novels North and South by John Jakes. It depicts the story of two large families: Mains, planters from South Carolina, and Hazards, industrialists from Pennsylvania, during the Civil War. Main characters are Orry Main (Patrick Swayze) and George Hazard (James Read) who became friends while attending the United States Military Academy at West Point. While fighting on opposite sides of the Civil War, they still struggle to maintain their friendship.
The following weapons were used in the miniseries North and South: Book II:
Revolvers
Colt Dragoon

Stephen Kent (Whip Hubley), and Confederate officers Maj. Joshua Dupree (Patrick Dollaghan), Capt. Charles Main (Lewis Smith), Capt. Thomas Turner (Wayne Newton), Lt. Ambrose Pell (James Houghton), and Lt. Jimmy Pickles (Gary Grubbs). These revolvers mostly can be identified as cap and ball guns (see below for cartridge version).
