"But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one."

And bear in mind that the sword was the AK-47 or M4 of its day. It was the standard issue infantry weapon of the time.

I'll have to take a bit of exception to your analogy, as while swords *were* standard issue within the Roman Legions that the Lord would have been quite familiar with during His earthly sojourn, it was a secondary, and not the primary 'issue weapon' which would have been the 'pilum', or spear. *THAT* weapon would have been the M4/AK47 of its time...
