Several Kentucky flintlock rifles are used by Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) and his sons when he tries to rescue his older son Gabriel Martin (Heath Ledger) from British soldiers. The rifle was custom built for Mel Gibson by artist Frank House, who also had a hand in training the actor on how to use it.
Flintlock Pistol
Various Flintlock Pistols are used by numerous characters including Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) and Colonel Tavington (Jason Isaacs). Benjamin Martin's pistol was on loan from a collector, who happened to share the same initials as Mel Gibson's character. Tavington's pistol was built from a kit.
Brown Bess Flintlock Musket
The Brown Bess appears as the standard flintlock musket of the British Army. Always seen with a bayonet.
