Not to rain on the parade, but no less an authority than Erwin Rommel declared the bayonet useless. As he told the story, he was a huge advocate of bayonet training before the Great War. One day in France, he held a rifle with a fixed bayonet and an empty chamber; his French opponent was only 15 or 20 feet away, but that was enough.

Rommel spent the next 8 or 9 months recovering from his gunshot wound. My takeaway from the story is this: don't take a knife to a gun fight.

Bayonets looks lethal on fruit and vegetables though.

U-tube is filled with fat boys with guns that think they're commando's.  The best use of a bayonet is to throw it while you close the distance with another knife.  Beyond that, bayonets really aren't that great.

jamal,

From that video, I'm gathering that the best reason for a knife (bayonet) on a rifle is so you can more easily pick up cabbage and shred it? Maybe for a salad? Not sure about that, but, I once did go one on one with a porcupine. He had his quills; I had a machete. I'm here to tell you the story; he is not.

One thing have have been seeing more of are bayonets on handguns. I have seen a glock,cz-75, and a mount to add one on any rail gun. I can maybe see on a shotgun or rilfe but a handgun??

well I wish the ruger LCP I just bought had a knife on it, I cant find 380 acp ammo any where most gun shops said I could put my name on a list but they said it's a long list.

 You mean that is one case that you know about. I know another soldier who got into a wrestling match with a Hadji after going into a room. That soldier drew a knife and stabbed him in the buttocks, pelvic area, and then jabbed it all the up under the chin.

A bayonet is kind of like a condom, Better to have it and not need it.
Than need it and not have it ! The last actual bayonet charge I can find
reference too happened in the Falkland Islands. Thats about 30 years ago.
not long enough ago to declare them obsolete quite yet. Better a modern spear
in battle than a rock or fist!
