Why? Are They Broken?

A paean to the silliness of bayonets:

It's an interesting rant and I don't have a real objection to what he's saying.

I have bayonets for two reasons.

First is because of historical accuracy and having a complete set of kit for the gun.

Second is because they banned bayonet lugs from 1994 to 2004.

I have bayonet lugs on guns that cannot mount a bayonet!

'Tain't enough barrel there for a conventional M16 series bayonet. 

The title refers to the order, "Fix bayonets!"

  1. I don't have a bayonet because I'm financially challenged. I want one because sometimes a sharp poke with one will deter an asshole at the perimeter without causing the legal headaches that a bullet hole in their worthless hide will cause... Most people instinctively realize the danger of a poking instrument even though Hollywood has desensitized them to the dangers of high speed skin and organ perforation with toxic metallic items...

    1. Even a cheap M7 bayonet is over $55 anymore! Vintage is eye watering.
