Dumbest Bayonet Ever

[browningautorifle]

Now days the general use of bayonets is handling prisoners and CQB. Your rifle only packs it in when you're really, really close...trust me Then you don't care about smashing the butt off and the bayonet is close enough to be practical. Besides there'll probably be another close by at that point.

Don't forget alternative uses such as wire prodding, land mine searching, etc. Bayonets are useful for more than just stabbing others.

As to the recoiling barrel of the Johnson it only moves back about 3/8" and is very solid thereafter. The user would have to prod a little farther.
In Canfield's book it is mentioned that MMJ saw a No4 bt on a promo trip to the UK and took the idea of the simple light "dagger bayonet" from that.
A previous Johnson bt design was fixed to the fore end and supported by a dovetail at the muzzle.

And reciprocate within that bayonet? That’s a clever idea. It’s the simple ideas that are the hardest to come up with!

Nope....... it's got to be DMan69, page 1. The No7 bayonet. Supposed to be a jack of all trades but was the master of none. Total expensive crap
