Sharpe's Company is the third episode of the Carlton UK miniseries Sharpe, starring Sean Bean as Captain Richard Sharpe, the officer of a small Rifles detachment during the Napoleonic Wars. It was filmed on location in the Ukraine and the Crimea. The episode follows Sharpe, his company, and the Duke of Wellington's army during its siege and assault on the French fortress of Badajoz on the Spanish-Portugese border.
The following weapons can be seen in the Carlton UK Television miniseries Sharpe's Company
The most prominently used weapon is the Baker Flintlock Rifle, issued to special units of the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars. Richard Sharpe (Sean Bean) and his "Chosen Men" – Sgt. Patrick Harper (Daragh O'Malley), Riflemen Cooper (Michael Mears), Harris (Jason Salkey), Hagman (John Tams) and Perkins (Lyndon Davies) all carry Bakers.
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.
