What weapons did the peasants use at Bastille?
The people who seized the Bastille were not peasants but Paris'
townspeople, led by a few soldiers. Peasants did not came inside
the capital from the countryside, to participate in the fall of the
Bastille (althought they did participate in much that happened by
the countryside). The weapons used to capture the Bastille were
rifles seized earlier in the day at the Invalides arsenal, and a
few cannons taken from the same location.
