Long Guns
Bolt Action Rifle
Francisco Manoel da Silva (Klaus Kinski) carries Bolt Action Rifle with unusual appearance at the film beginning. It's presumably a .22 caliber single-shot rifle, like FN Model 1912, with a custom made buttstock and bolt handle with a large ring (for a more convenient/quick grip when reloading).
Remington Rolling Block
Several Brazilian Army soldiers can be seen armed with the Remington Rolling Blocks.
Percussion Carbine
One of the Dahomey Royal Guard carries a percussion carbine.
Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy"
A Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy" can be briefly seen two times.
Percussion Shotgun
Numerous Dahomey Army soldiers was armed with the Percussion Shotguns, possibly, stands for Moukhala Muskets.
Note: see additional images on talk page.
Springfield Model 1842
At least two Dahomey Army soldiers briefly hold a Springfield Model 1842s, possibly stands for Moukhala Muskets.
Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III*
Several characters, include Francisco Manoel da Silva (Klaus Kinski) uses Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III* rifles. This is a heavy anachronism when a story occurs, since even the original Lee-Metford was not available until 1888, but the SMLE was obviously used due to its wide availability. As a Brazilian envoy, Francisco in reality would most likely offer American guns (such as, for example, the Rolling Block).
Cannons
Heavy Cannon
Two heavy cannons can be seen at the Elmina Castle.
Light Cannon
Abandoned light cannon is seen on the floor of Elmina Castle.
A naval cannon appeared at the one point.
