Very odd story about Biblical references stamped on US gunsights.
Coded references to biblical passages are inscribed on gunsights widely used by the US and British military in Iraq and Afghanistan, it has emerged.
The markings include "2COR4:6" and "JN8:12", relating to verses in the books of Corinthians II and John.

Thanks to anticant and Eric. Not particularly sinister, just weird....

Perhaps it cheers the troops up to think they have magic on their side? Reminds me of the piece from the Staffordshire hoard that read "Rise up, O Lord, and may thy enemies be dispersed and those who hate thee be driven from thy face."
Oh, sweet jesus... not this again.
Who will rid us of these pestilent preachers?

I understand the American provider has given into overseas pressure and said they won't supply them in the future with the biblical references.

'Thou shalt not kill' would be particularly apt on a sniper-scope.
