Some queston about musket and pistol

Maybe, I'm wrong, but at least one of the muskets isn't matchlock, but a flintlock.

The musketeer at the center. Note the lack of the match (which present in the near all other muskets and freezen).

Also, is the another screenshots of the wheellock pistol? Maybe, I'm wrong, but, possible, it's Matchlock Pistol, as the Wheellock Pistols has a bulged part under the lock. May this pistol can be seen from another screenshots?

The part under the lock seems to be not bulged, but, it's may be just a visual illusion.

Sorry, I was very busy and only now can answer. This scene is covered with thick smoke, and there isn't any better images of these weapons. So, let's see the muskets:

and the pistol:

Reenactors tend to use weapons, correct for the described era, and as far as I know, "doglock" weapons were used in English Civil war. So maybe this musket is one of such guns. Greg-Z (talk) 14:20, 19 September 2019 (EDT)

The musket is obviosly flintlock. About the pistol - the hammer shape seems to be flintlock, but this pistol lack a freezen (the typical atribute of flintlock guns). Possible, this part was broken, or, it's percussion cap pistol, and the hammer is just mocked up. Is this pistol firing onscreen? Pyramid Silent (talk) 15:00, 19 September 2019 (EDT)

Ok, thanks, I'll add the musket. The pistol doesn't fire, only seen in hand of an "officer" for several seconds. As I said, reenactors tend to use correct weapons, so I don't think that is's a caplock gun. Maybe really this gun just is incomplete. Let's keep it as a flintlock with a note. --Greg-Z (talk) 15:23, 19 September 2019 (EDT)

BTW, this is another British TV series with English Civil war reenactors:

The freezen of this flintlock musket seems to be folded.

Lever Action

Looks like a Marlin 336.
