    Sharpe's Rifles

    Been watching replays of the "Sharpe" series from 1990. For about the fourth or fifth time... Other than the "Volley Gun" carried by Sgt. Hogan, What are the rifles carried by the other soldiers? They are flintlocks, to be sure, but rather shorter barreled than the norm for the 1810-12...

They are kind of neat, and quite a bit different from the standard lock. I am thinking that they must have come...
