Trijicon makes a scope called the ACOG.
Not too long ago they got into trouble because they had embossed references to Bible verses onto the outer casing of scopes they were selling to the military.
The US, UK and New Zealand all got their panties in a bunch over it and demanded the verse references be omitted in future purchases. US scopes even got the emboss ground off.
Recently I noticed that a particular customer of Trijicon did not complain about the verses or take any action over them. Israel.
The UK and New Zealand wanted the verses removed because they were worried that the Islamic targets of gunfire would become offended that there was a bible reference on the rifle that was shooting at them. !!!
I guess to Israel, that's not a bug but a feature. But it seems odd that a Jewish state doesn't care about Christian scripture references and nominally Christian nations do.
PS: The mostly illiterate people that "WE" are worried about offending would have blissfully ignorant of the offense if the Anti-Christian Bigots hadn't noticed this and made a huge stink about it. To quote Dr Johnny Fever, "They sit there listening to the song, slower and slower, until, 'Ah, I heard a dirty word!'"
