You can spear a lot of trash on one of those 17” bayonets.
When our Legion Post does a community service “Adopt a Highway” pick up detail I use an old Knights of Columbus sword to skewer beer cans and such, then dump the stuff into a lawn mower bag strapped around my shoulder.
“Touche’!”
I get a few odd looks from passing motorists, but it’s fun.
The Mosin Nagant M-91-30 has a bayonet that is ideal for trash pick up.
When I went to that CNN site all I got was a video about an APP for remote sex. No thanks!
The video is now at this direct link, it’s pretty interesting. . .
