Unknown Musket

A unidentified long gun can be briefly seen in the police outpost. It is presumably a percussion (or converted to a breach loader) infantry model, although flintlock is also possible, but it is not visible accurately enough for identification. Anyway, such guns wourld be too antique for regular forces of that time.

Note the exposed hammer.
