WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS!!!

Hopeless Joss holds the pistol. The flat heel of the grip with lanyard ring is seen.

Sea Service 1756 Flintlock Pistol

In the climactic scene Vicar Francis Davey (Ben Daniels) holds a Sea Service Flintlock Pistol. The screen gun is a non-firing replica that slightly differs from the original pistol. When Davey "fires" it, he only cocks the hammer and presses the trigger, without any imitation of loading. Flashes on the lock are seen but the pistol doesn't produce muzzle flame.
Very similar model can be seen in Henry Krank catalogue (63P) but the manufacturer isn't mentioned.

He aims at Jem Merlyn.

Davey fires. A large flash (possibly CGI) appears on the lock but there is no muzzle flame.

Davey aims at Mary. In this scene his pistol switches between the Sea Service and the Heavy Dragoon (see below) models.

Heavy Dragoon Flintlock Pistol

Due to continuity errors, Davey's pistol several times switches from the Sea Service to the Heavy Dragoon pistol and back againt. This Heavy Dragoon pistol isn't seen "firing". A long flintlock pistol that is seen in hands of a customs officer is also supposedly to be a Heavy Dragoon (no belt hook can be seen, so it's hardly a Sea Service).

British Heavy Dragoon Pistol - .62 caliber

What is supposed to be a Heavy Dragoon pistol is seen in hands of a customs officer at the background.

Davey's pistol switches from the Sea Service to the Heavy Dragoon (and then back to Sea Service). Note the lack of the belt hook that presents on the Sea Service pistol.

Davey's pistol switches to the Heavy Dragoon once again.

Double Barreled Flintlock Pistol

During the prison break, Jem Merlyn (Matthew McNulty) takes two Double Barreled Flintlock Pistols from the customs officers' armory. He uses this guns in the climactic scene. These pistols are definitly modern replicas, may be non firing ones.

18th Century Double-Barrelled Flintlock Pistol.

Two double barreled pistols in holsters hang on the wall in the armory, together with several cavalry swords and two long pistols (the grip pommels are seen at the right) that may be Heavy Dragoon or Sea Service patterns.

Jem aims one of the pistol at Hannah Davey (Shirley Henderson), demanding the whereabouts of her brother, the Vicar Davey.

Jem takes Hannah as hostage. He holds one of his pistols while the second gun is seen in his pocket.

A better view of the grip of the pistol in Jem's pocket.

Jem, wounded in the right shoulder, draws the second pistol with his left hand...

...and fires at Davey.

Unknown Long Guns

During the ambush on the wreckers' gang, customs officers fire some long guns. They are seen at great distance and cannot be identified. Flintlock Muskets would be correct weapons for this scene, but it's unknown what guns were used.

Customs officers fire from the top of the cliff.
