Miss Dudley briefly holds what looks like either French Model 1777/1786/1806 flintlock carbine, but she never fires it. The carbine is fitted with a barrel clamp similar to the one on the Austrian pistol listed above so this might be some kind of a replica like the Denix replica of the French Flintlock Carbine Model 1806.

Journey to China: The Mystery of Iron Mask (Russian title is Тайна печати дракона; Tayna pechati drakona, Chinese title is 龙牌之谜; Lóng pái zhī mí) is a 2019 cooperate Chinese/Russian/USA fantasy thriller, sequel of Forbidden Empire.
Note: This movie exists in three versions - English, Chinese and Russian. The Russian one is used to screencaps.
The following weapons were used in the film Journey to China: The Mystery of Iron Mask:
The movie is set in an ambiguous "18th century". However, considering that the British troops wear pattern 1742 uniforms it is safe to assume that it takes place somewhere around mid 18th century, the Seven Years' War period most likely. This would be considered when determining whether or not a particular weapon is anachronistic.
Handguns
Austrian Model 1798 Flintlock Pistol
Miss Dudley (Anna Churina) uses an Austrian Model 1798 Flintlock Pistol during the training shooting. The weapon is most likely anachronistic as the movie is set in an ambiguous "18th century".
While dressed as a sailor, Miss Dudley wields what appears to be a French looking flintlock pistol. It resembles pistolet modèle An XIII or modèle 1822 though the plate on the left side doesn't match so it might be some kind of a generic replica.
The replica of an Indian flintlock pistol from Lucknow made circa 1776 is used by Miss Dudley and is later taken from her by Li Hong. A similar pistol is seen being used by a Russian sailor.
Jonathan Green (Jason Flemyng) continues to use his Augsburg 3-barrel turnover Flintlock Pepperbox replica, until it was taken from him by the brigands. At the film climax, this gun can be seen tucked on the belt of a Russian sailor.
Charleville Musket replicas are being used by British and Russian soldiers. The use of the French muskets by both the British and Russian troops is historically inappropriate. While later Russian muskets such as the M1808 were based on the French M1777 pattern, they would be anachronistic for the mid 18th century setting. Russians of this period would be armed with either M1753 or M1763 Russian fusils.
At least one Russian soldier is armed with the historically inappropriate for 18th century Russians Brown Bess Flintlock Musket.

Nock Gun
The Nock Gun is seen at one point. The weapon might be anachronistic for the mid 18th century setting as it was designed in 1779 in reality.
Miss Dudley briefly holds what looks like either French Model 1777/1786/1806 flintlock carbine or the extremely rare Russian M1809 musketoon, but she never fires it. The carbine is fitted with a barrel clamp similar to the one on the Austrian pistol listed above so this might be some kind of a replica like the Denix replica of the French Flintlock Carbine Model 1806.
