== Percussion Cap Pistol ==
[[Percussion Cap Pistol]]s are seen in hands of Florindo Aretusi ([[Viktor Kostetskiy]]), Captain of Turin guards ([[Evgeniy Tilicheev]]) and one of the robbers ([[Boris Smolkin]]). These guns look more like mockups, but fitted with genuine percussion cap locks. It's worth noting that any percussion cap guns are out of time for mid 18th century.

After the robber fires both pistols, one of his guns erroneously switches to a different model.

== Percussion Cap Musket 2 ==
Another robber ([[Anatoliy Rudakov]]) is armed with a relatively small musket, also with percussion cap lock. This is probably a hunting model, and likely the same prop that was used in ''[[The Snow Queen (Snezhnaya koroleva)#Percussion Musket|Snezhnaya koroleva]]'' and ''[[Prosha, the Prince (Tsarevich Prosha)#Percussion Carbine|Tsarevich Prosha]]'', also a Lenfilm production.
