@XBOXComplete having researched them in detail, I can ascertain those super powers: -harris can remember entire books, and bash your head in with his. he can also kill with words only. -hagman can shoot people at ridiculous distances in the head, and hold two muskets and fire them accurately at tw targets -Harper (well, he's RSM, not CM), has 300% snark levels, and can kill many people with a single gun. :P
So it is meant to be the Nock 7 barrel volley gun and not the 6 barrel pepperbox? I wasn't sure which it was. Nock didn't make them but I have seen a double 7 barrel volley gun set up (14 barrels) on Forgotten Weapons.
@Mattthornz his guilt at what happened with Theresa stopped him cheating on Jane-til she cheated on him- and stopped him cheating on Lucille however it can also show Theresa wasn't enough for him
@TheNikzaw yea the guy only used a tiny pistol bullet into duco's shoulder (by the looks of it) but meh, if the godfather can stand being shot 3 times by a revolver...well who knows...look at obediah :P
the nocks volley gun(made by henry nock of london) has 7 barrels not all are going to shoot to the same point of aim 7 .50 cal round balls flying about its not something id want to be in front of out be shooting for that matter and im about the saze of harper
See why duco should have done when he came back pretending to be the mayor is to bring along soldiers in disguise as civilians that want to revolt against Napoleon and then should have sent Calvets troops to attack the fort before sharpe came back and then betray the British but no he was too blind with his revenge against sharpe
Too many attractive women find themselves helplessly thrown with Sharpe in some way, usually resulting in sex...the question is...how will he being married effect this? especially since he cheated on Theresa.
@chiby1000 alot of leaders in them days where shit. The french had an army were officers were promoted from the ranks on skill and merit, the British had an army were officers bought there commision and ran around spain chasing glory and more often than not getting there men killed. Not all officers were rubbish, most men who joint as young officers in late teens (like wellington) became very fine officers and won the war. However alot just bought in, such as the men portrayed in sharpe!
They make it seem like every British commander was a complete plank lol surely the British empire would never of made empire if that were the true case? lol good series though.
They do show many officers as competent, but they also show that a large number were political appointments. It was not until after the Crimean War that the purchasing of commissions ended. Many brilliant leaders came from the old system, but so to did many fools who had no place leading men.
"Face like a dead fish, round glasses..." Sharpe doesn't need more from Palmer to recognize Ducos.
"the empreror would never stoop so low"
yes he would-and did: the battle of Austerlitz was one giant trick, then strike. brilliant coupe
This is precisely how General Guillaume Philibert Duhesme captured Barcelona.
I thought he did. I sure I read it somewhere.
But thanks for reminding me
Something that every soldier fears is a sniper. Or, in those days, a rifleman.
man, sharpe should exchange jane for that french girl
oh that French girl is a babe. Mademoiselle with ze lovely eyez lol

:P
that nock gun is so bad ass
It really is :P So powerful it was discontinued due to recoil though. But so were the anti-tank rifles produced in the 30s/40s :P
rifa1004: The same way you loas a musket, except it takes 3 minutes.
Gota friend who did it.
im glad @ 5:45 Sharpe mentions crossfire. too bad Sean Bean forgot about it in Ronin lol.
Funny how i never see the 7 barrel get loaded. 1 second to shoot, 5 minutes to load.
So it is meant to be the Nock 7 barrel volley gun and not the 6 barrel pepperbox? I wasn't sure which it was. Nock didn't make them but I have seen a double 7 barrel volley gun set up (14 barrels) on Forgotten Weapons.
@@snarkymatt585 must take ages to load. But thanks for the info 👍👍
A traitorous Frenchman, who'd have thought? :D
Here comes Ducos, the greatest of french royalists!
cool
@VivaLaRaza2006 orignally developed for the Navy to bring down rigging and men in the enemy vessel's crows nest and fighting tops
@Mattthornz

yeah, that much is true.
bear in mind, the post was a joke, so don't take it too seriously.
Any rank higher than Lt.Colonel had to be earned by merit.
Correction. Jake told me a minute and a half to load a Knox gun.
Is that meant to be a Nock 7 barrel volley gun or the 6 barrel pepperbox?
Nock. Even says so in an earlier episode
@TheNikzaw yea the guy only used a tiny pistol bullet into duco's shoulder (by the looks of it) but meh, if the godfather can stand being shot 3 times by a revolver...well who knows...look at obediah :P
1:20 Give me some sugar, baby.
That's soldiering
@caderly123
I counted it as a superpower anyways, since he's able to even handle such a weapon XD
Every time the Englisch got an French ally, they get betrayed by them.... The Englisch never lern from their mistakes

Brandy? Harper's solution to most diffictulties.
Aye .. Cant disagree with that.
@joslynn417 and he did a damn fine job of it too. god knows what could've happened if Wellington hadn't bought his rank ;)
See why duco should have done when he came back pretending to be the mayor is to bring along soldiers in disguise as civilians that want to revolt against Napoleon and then should have sent Calvets troops to attack the fort before sharpe came back and then betray the British but no he was too blind with his revenge against sharpe
I love Harpers gun
Mr knock of London
Too many attractive women find themselves helplessly thrown with Sharpe in some way, usually resulting in sex...the question is...how will he being married effect this?
especially since he cheated on Theresa.
OK there's like how many French soldiers, and not a single chosen man dies!? WTH
Isnt Harper`s gun called "Redemeer"?
@Albukhshi
Harper has a volley gun, but yeah :)
since when has a colonel worn a majors crown
I thought major Duco has already died?????? in Sharpe's gold?????????????

@bh5496 Unless it comes to Sharpe, then he never takes advice...
@TheNikzaw i think he was only wounded
banfeald is a noob he is not luckey with the french girl at 4:19
