Talk:Flag of Mozambique

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)

New Flag section title
the second section in the article was titled, "New Flag?"-- which i thought was very odd. I changed it to, "2005 New Flag Proposal". change back if you want, but... Skiendog (talk) 23:14, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Just two flags with firearms amongst UN?
The first sentence states, that Mozambique and Guatemala are the only two states amongst UN members, that feature firearm in their flag, though Haiti includes two howitzers and six bayoneted rifle-like silhouettes in theirs (and in coat of arms). Haiti is a member of the UN since 24 October 1945, therefore this statement is not correct. Voodookoop (talk) 12:52, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

AK-47 or AKM?
Western press often use "AK-47" to refer to any kind of AK pattern firearm. Typically they are actually describing an AKM. Can someone cite the Mozambique constitution or flag act or whatever, to show that it is definitely and specifically an AK-47? 203.7.155.119 (talk) 18:09, 22 September 2017 (UTC)


 * The constitution of Mozambique only states that it is a "gun"; it never specifies what model. 1.618033   golden   sqᴉɹʇuoɔ 00:10, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

Just three flags with firearms amongst UN?
In the first sentence it states that Mozambique, Guatemala and Haiti are the only UN members with firearms in their flag, this is not true given that Bolivian flag features two cannns and four rifles in its national emblem Sarkel (talk) 19:55, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
