Nock Gun

Sharpe's Company is the first episode to feature Harper's (Daragh O'Malley) fearsome seven-barrelled Nock Gun, since he is presented as one of the few men large and strong enough to (barely) handle the weapon's massive recoil. Sgt. Hakeswill (Pete Postlethwaite) confiscates the weapon after framing Harper for theft, and uses it to try to kill Sharpe during the confusion of a night attack.
