Pistols

TT-33

When Hamza visits Syria (at that time a part of Ottoman Empire) in Ep.9, an anachronistic TT-33 is carried by an Ottoman policeman. Probably it stands for similar looking FN Model 1903 that was issued to Ottoman police (8,000 ordered in 1908-1914).

Artillery

In Ep.9 British troops in India use a field gun for execution of local rebels, like it was during the Great Indian Rebellion of 1857. The gun itself looks more like a mockup, made of parts of real guns as well as metall tubes.
