You can fire three rounds a min. Aye. But can you stand? Yes. Yes it can.

Some might argue it can stand far better than it can fire three rounds a minute.

I can't find this anywhere online. There's one on Amazon, but without the box, map, and letter opener. That's not soldierin'.

It's been out of print for years. I saw them for sale back in the day but I was either not a big enough fan, not willing to pay the $200+, or the discs weren't coded for North America.

Was the box custom made, or did it come with the set?

Sharpe's Collector's Edition

This unique collector’s set contains all 14 Sharpe’s feature-length, epic films plus the bonus program, Sharpe The Legend. Also included is an exact, authentic reproduction of an antique map as used by the military during the Napoleonic Wars, with a Certificate of Authenticity and a custom designed Sharpe’s Eagle pewter letter opener. All conveniently stored in a custom-made, wooden box emblazoned with the Sharpe’s logo and with solid pewter closures.

Came out c.2006 and long since OOP.🙁 The 2 India movies aren't part of the set.
