You don't want a bayonet, you'll poke your eye out.
Why we can't be trusted with bayonets...

Let's hope they don't find out about the bottle opener on the Galil. Don't those Israelis have twist-off caps?

"the bayonet is better used to carve the turkey"
you mean the "turks" right?
from what ive heard/read the bayonet was used more for its fear factor than anything else.
the object of a bayonet charge was to cause the enemy to turn and run for it
now how can i get this old french bayonet ive got laying around adapted to my xm15?

There still is a use for a bayonet , When you are out of ammo its harder to take the gun away .
I agree in that the looks I get when I put the bayonet out on my M44 are priceless. I couldn't imagine the M44 without one. (guess if I did it would be a M38 
) The right to bear arms should be seamless and that if I want a baynoet on my CZ75 then I should darn well be allowed to have one.

280PLUS: In the early days after you expended your one shot in the heat of battle , one might not be able to reload in the open field therefore making the bayonet essential !
Modern bayonets themselves are useful tools but on the rifle I can see only one use as I stated in my other post.

Oh dear.....
Yes yes yes... please let it be known to all far and wide that my post above was just me being silly and introducing that bayonet control webpage in the same vein as that page is written!
I am many things but a hypocryte is not one of them.
Please let me introduce you to *MY* 16 inches of steel!
Okay that sounded like a really bad pick up line...
In any case rest assured I can guarantee you that I am for law abiding citizens having any nearly ANY personal weapon they want... from fingernail clippers to belt feds... have at it!

"Many men are scared by the bayonet, but few are wounded by it."- Patton. Now I'll go look on the link and see if you have it there.
The bayonet still works just fine for its original purpose; hunting wild boars with a muzzle-loader. It still works just fine for its second purpose; repelling cavalry charges while standing in a square. I don't do either of those things. The reason I want one on my rifle is so I can stick the bayonet's point into the ground and thereby keep my nice clean weapon out of the mud and dirt. Of course, this rather ruins its utility for cleaning under my fingernails.

Back when I was a Drill Sgt in the Army, just after they changed over from muskets to breech-loaders, they would not issue bayonets to the basic trainees because they kept cutting/stabbing themselves!!!!
I can tell that the evil, free-spirited, bayonet I sometimes fix onto my Garand simply doesn't attract the right kind of people. . .
. . . or else it would have long since taken it upon itself to centerpunch a latter day communist by now. Must be why they tried to ban their affixation to newer rifles these past nine years. There's getting to be more communists every day.

Charles: i figured as such...just checkin
I gotta get me a bayonetable gun, and the steel for it...because it looks scary (to gun haters), and because someone thinks I shouldn't have one.
oh yeah, and to pick my teeth with when something is stuck.
