Sharpe's Waterloo
Sharpe's Waterloo is the thirteenth episode of the Carlton UK series Sharpe, starring Sean Bean as Captain Richard Sharpe, the officer of a small Rifles detachment during the Napoleonic Wars. This episode was the last episode of the first series of television films and Sean Bean would return to the role of Sharpe in 2006 with Sharpe's Challenge.
The following weapons were used in the television series Sharpe's Waterloo:
Baker Rifle
The most prominently used weapon is the Baker Flintlock Rifle, issued to special units of the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars. Richard Sharpe (Sean Bean) and his "Chosen Men" – Sgt. Patrick Harper (Daragh O'Malley), Riflemen Cooper (Michael Mears), Harris (Jason Salkey), Hagman (John Tams), Tongue (Paul Trussell) and Perkins (Lyndon Davies) - all carry Bakers.
Brown Bess Flintlock Musket
The standard long arm issued to "redcoat" British soldiers is the Brown Bess Flintlock Musket. French forces also appear to carry the musket.
Nock Gun
Harper (Daragh O'Malley) continues to use the fearsome seven-barrelled Nock Gun
