    Civil war movie/TV show help?

    I tried a advanced search on imdb but didn't come up with anything. That sounds like a plotline from O. Henry. I'll continue my search. Jac

    "Sharpe's Rifles"

    Probably the best way to start is to watch a couple of episodes in the Sharpe series. You can find them online on You Tube. There are 16 episodes starting with "Sharpe's Rifles". The series stars Sean Bean as Richard Sharpe and the time period is the Napoleonic Wars (early 1800's) in Portugal...

    "Sharpe's Rifles"

    No apology necessary, my friend. I may have had a huge advantage since I was stationed in England for three years during my Air Force years and am familiar with the various accents and dialects of the different regions there. I even had a slight british accent upon my return stateside. My main...

    "Sharpe's Rifles"

    I just watched that episode again and I was right. Hagman (John Tams) said "Targets set at a hundred yards." I thing his thick Derbyshire accent is throwing you off a bit. I can see how you thought you heard 800 yards, his accent and tone make it difficult to distinguish between "a" and "8."

    "Sharpe's Rifles"

    I think it was 100 yds, not 7 or 800. I think the wording was "target set at a hundred yards." The next time I am on You Tube I'll watch it again to make sure.

    I think the Rifle Shoppe sells a kit for the nock volley gun. It's around $2,000 if I remember correctly.

    Sharpe series?

    I haven't been able to find any documentation that the Nock was used as a punt gun, at least not yet. You can google Punt Guns and find a bunch of interesting stuff, even a couple of videos of them being fired on You Tube. James Mitchner wrote some about them in his book "Chesapeake" as well...

    Sharpe series?

    The Rifle Shoppe has the parts kit for around 1K to 1.2K. I haven't added it all up yet. I am planning to get the Baker Rifle parts when I get the money saved up. The Nock would be a interesting build but at 5'10" and around 155lbs I am probably to light framed to handle it. Thats to much...

    Sharpe series?

    If I remember correctly, the originals were .50 cal. The one in the Sharpe series looks smaller, .32 or .36 although all the documentation I've read concerning the series did not specify the caliber. Any opinions from those who have seen it?. Also, what is the price at Wallyworld. I want to...

    Sharpe series?

    It's for real. The 7 barrel gun was originally designed for use with the Royal Navy. It was to be fired from the rigging to clear the enemy quarterdeck when preparing to board. The problem was the muzzle flash was setting the rigging and sails afire and that the recoil broke the shoulder of...
