The following weapons were used in the miniseries The Count of Monte Cristo:
Pistols
Percussion Cap Pistol
In the scene when Mr. Morel (Paulo Renato), the shipowner from Marseille, is ruined and is going to commit suicide, he takes a Percussion Cap Pistol from a drawer. This is some compact civilian model. Morel's son Maximilien (Diogo Dória) holds a percussion cap pistol when he gets news that his belowed woman is dead. Several of the Roman brigands carry pistols when they kidnap Danglars. The locks aren't seen clear but these are probably also percussion cap guns.
