Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
The following weapons were used in the film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World:
Tower Sea Service Pistol
The Tower Sea Service Flintlock Pistol is used by numerous characters in the movie including Captain Jack Aubrey (Russell Crowe), Dr. Stephen Maturin (Paul Bettany) and Barrett Bonden (Billy Boyd).
Brown Bess Flintlock Musket
The Brown Bess Sea Pattern Flintlock Musket is the standard sidearm for the British Marines throughout the movie. While the Surprise is becalmed, Captain Howard (Chris Larkin) tries to shoot an albatross for supper, and inadvertently wounds Dr. Maturin (Paul Bettany).
Charleville 1777 Musket
Charleville Musket Model 1777s are seen in the hands of the French Naval sailors of the Acheron during the final battle.
Nock Gun
The 7-barreled Nock Gun is used by Aubrey's men during the siege of the Acheron. The combination of seven smooth bore barrels unevenly placed in a "honey-comb" formation made the rifle extremely inaccurate (which led to it quickly switching from a marksman's rifle to a volley gun) and the immense recoil of the seven barrels all firing at once was unpleasant. On top of that, the rifle was rather heavy and took far too long to reload and was thus never popular in combat use.
Fuse Grenade
A type of fuse grenade used by Captain Jack Aubrey (Russell Crowe) and his crew during their assault on the French ship Acheron.
