Maybe he was the stunt double for Sean Bean back-in-the-day?
The British began experimenting with rifle-armed troops in the early 1800s. They had faced riflemen in the American Revolution and employed Hessian mercenary riflemen in that conflict as well. These troops needed a standardized rifle to use, and Ezekiel Baker’s rifle was selected. These Baker Rifles have a .625” bore diameter (roughly the same as a 20-gauge shotgun slug).
Pedersoli’s model does not have an official MSRP as of writing, but it is rumored to be in the $2,000 ballpark.
Pedersoli’s version has the 1:120 barrel twist of the original (not a typo) and fires .625” projectiles. It has a 30-inch barrel and weighs in at nine pounds. It even has the bayonet mount as seen on the original.

-Even though rifles had been around for at least a couple hundred years, because of their expense and the skill needed in their employment, by the late 18th century the simpler smoothbore musket remained the principal infantry arm.
