"An Afghan Musket This weapon is a jezail, a type of muzzle-loading flintlock weapon made and used in Afghanistan
right up until the 20th century. Afghan warriors treasured such weapons, and would seldom part with them willingly." ...
"Muscaed Afganastánach Is jezail é seo, cinéal arm béal-lódáilte ghunna chloch thine a rinneadh agus a húsáideadh san Afganastáin
suas go dtí an fichiú aois. Bhí luach mór ag trodairí Afganastánacha ar arm dá leithéid seo, agus is corr uair a ligfidís ceann uathu go fonnmhar." ...
