In the same scene one of the guards is armed with a flintlock dueling or target pistol with short handguard and long heavy barrel.
A drunk guard reaches for his pistol. This is a dueling or target model but it's seen too briefly to make a positive identification.
Long Guns
Charleville Model 1777 Artillery Carbine
In the climactic scene Jem Merlyn (Trevor Eve) is armed with a Charleville Mle 1777 Artillery carbine. The exact model can be identifed by the infantry style muzzle cap and the sling swivel attached to the handguard.
Charleville Mle 1777 Cavalry Flintlock Carbine - .69 caliber. The Artillery carbine looks similar and differs in minor details.
Jem runs with the carbine in hands.
Another view of the carbine.
A good view of the barrel. Note the muzzle cap in the same style as the full-length Charleville infantry muskets and the sling swivel, attached to the handguard rather than to the barrel band.
Jem takes aim, ordering the villain to free Mary.

What is supposed to be a kind of Charleville flintlock cavalry carbine (may be an Mle 1777 An IX, Mle 1786 Hussar or Mle 1816) or maybe a hunting musket is briefly seen in hand of a squire Bassatt's man.
For reference: French Mle 1816 Cavalry Flintlock Carbine - .69 caliber
