[edit] Kalashnikov

It includes the image of an AK-47 and is the only national flag in the world to feature such a modern rifle.

This seems like a strange thing to say, do any flags feature rifles other than Mozambique's, modern or antiquated? --NEMT 00:55, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

No other current national flags contain any sort of a firearm, as can be verified at the gallery of sovereign-state flags. Several do have more old-fashioned types of weapons on them, which is perhaps what the "modern" was meaning to get at? Those older weapons are a trident (flag of Barbados) and a sword (flag of Saudi Arabia and flag of Sri Lanka). --Delirium 16:15, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Not true. For instance Image:Flag of Guatemala.svg features a rifle. I think it was I who changed to the current sentence after the old one had incorrectly stated that it was the only flag featurnig a firearm. /Lokal Profil 17:43, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
