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!"


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