A number of long guns with flintlocks and percussion cap locks is seen in the flashback scene in Ep.3-4 "Rock, Scissors, Paper" that depicts the activities of 5th Northumberland Fusiliers in Afghanistan. They look like 18th century Russian flintlock designs and 19th century Russian percussion muskets (possibly used to portray in the movie a [[Snider-Enfield Rifle|Snider-Enfield]]s, due to the lack of more suitable props). Anyway, flintlock and percussion cap lock muzzleloading guns were too antique for British troops of that time.

Sherlock Holmes (Sherlok Holms) is a Russian 2013 TV series, directed by Andrey Kavun and starring Igor Petrenko as Sherlock Holmes and Andrey Panin as Dr. Watson. The series use plots of various Arthur Conan Doyle's works but shows them in a very non-canon way. In the series Holmes is twenty-seven years old genius thinker but awkward and intense man while Watson is much elder man, a veteran Army medic, who teaches Holmes shooting and boxing. Trying to make a name for himself as a writer, Watson begins describing the detective cases, solved by Holmes, often embellishing the real events.
Note: according to the interview of director Andrey Kavun, the guns in the series are from Lenfilm prop stores, so many of these revolvers are doubtless same guns that were seen in earlier Lenfilm series about Holmes and Watson, Priklyucheniya Sherloka Holmsa i doktora Vatsona (1980-1987).
The following weapons were used in the television series Sherlock Holmes:
Dr. Watson's (Andrey Panin) "old army revolver" is a Webley .455 Mk VI (this model was adopted only in 1915 and doesn't fit for the time of the events). Watson's revolver is seen in hands of Sherlock Holmes (Igor Petrenko) in several episodes. Except for the duo, Webley Mk VI is used by Morstan (Valeriy Zaytsev) in "Rock, Scissors, Paper" and Gilbert Roy (Leonid Timtsunik) in "The Mistresses of Lord Maulbray". It's worth noting that in the scene in "Halifax" when the Webley is shown firing, it works only as single action revolver.
Rast-Gasser M1898 revolvers are widely used throughout the series, notably by Inspector Lestrade (Mikhail Boyarskiy) and Professor Moriarty (Aleksey Gorbunov). Certainly a single prop is used. Like many other guns in the series, Rast-Gasser is out of time and out of place.
Reichsrevolver M1879 revolvers are also seen throughout the series. Certainly a single prop is used. While this revolver somewhat fits for that time, it hardly is common for Britain.
Reichsrevolver M1883 revolvers are widely used throughout the series. It appears to be that two revolvers of this model are seen, one of the has a rim on the muzzle and a lanyard ring, and another one lacks both features. While this revolver somewhat fits for that time, it hardly is common for Britain.
Nagant M1895 revolvers are also used throughout the series, mainly in hands of police personnel. All revolvers are of post-1930 version. Like many other guns in the series, Nagant M1895 is out of time and out of place.
Some police constables and robbers (who turn out to be corrupt policemen) carry Galand revolvers, most likely Russian contract model in 12x14mmR. Most likely a single prop is used.
A Webley RIC revolver, most likely Belgian copy known as "British Constabulary", is used in Ep.3-4 "Rock, Scissors, Paper" by one of the robbers who attacked the coach of an Indian prince and by Inspector Tracy (Anatoliy Rudakov).
Irene Adler (Lyanka Gryu) owns a Percussion Pocket Pistol. Sherlock Holmes (Igor Petrenko) uses Irene's pistol in Ep.15-16 "The Baskerville Hound". According to the interview of director Andrey Kavun, this gun is a specially made for filming replica of a pistol from a private collection.
During the boat chase in Ep.3-4 "Rock, Scissors, Paper" police Constable Gregson (Andrey Semenyuk) holds a Winchester Model 1895 rifle. This is a Russian contract version.
Karabiner 98k rifles are used by several police constables in the scene at the doors of the club of 5th Northumberland Fusiliers regiment veterans in Ep.3-4 "Rock, Scissors, Paper" and by German soldiers, guarding the embassy, in Ep.13-14 "Holmes's Last Case".
What appear to be a kind of Lee-Enfield rifle is seen in the flashback scene in Ep.3-4 "Rock, Scissors, Paper" that depicts the activities of 5th Northumberland Fusiliers in Afghanistan.
A number of long guns with flintlocks and percussion cap locks is seen in the flashback scene in Ep.3-4 "Rock, Scissors, Paper" that depicts the activities of 5th Northumberland Fusiliers in Afghanistan. They look like 18th century Russian flintlock designs and 19th century Russian percussion muskets (possibly used to portray in the movie Snider-Enfields, due to the lack of more suitable props). Anyway, flintlock and percussion cap lock muzzleloading guns were too antique for British troops of that time.
An Oriental style musket is seen in Capt. Sholto's house in Ep.3-4 "Rock, Scissors, Paper". It's hard to say what kind of lock it has (if any). Possibly this is a non-firing decorative "wall-hanger".
A drawing of two Remington 1875 revolvers is seen on a vignette for Ep. 13-14 "Holmes's Last Case". A color version of same vignette is a part of English language poster. This gun doesn't appear in the series.
A Colt Official Police with 6" barrel is seen in hands of Sherlock Holmes (Igor Petrenko), posing as Mycroft Holmes, on English language poster. This gun doesn't appear in the series.
A muzzleloading cannon is seen in the flashback scene in Ep.3-4 "Rock, Scissors, Paper" that depicts the activities of 5th Northumberland Fusiliers in Afghanistan. An antique cannon is seen near the castle in Ep.9-10 "The Musgrave Ritual".
