‘USA Today’ Warns of ‘Chainsaw Bayonet’ AR-15 Attachments

USA Today warned Americans on Wednesday of the possibility that a chainsaw bayonet could be strapped to an AR-15 rifle.

In a video posted to its Twitter page, the news publication attempted to explain the AR-15 rifle to its readership. The video detailed random components of an AR-15 like the trigger, buttstock, handguard, and sights but not other integral parts like the upper receiver, lower receiver, or grip.

It then showed a seemingly random collection of "possible modifications" to the AR-15, "some common, some rare." Examples included in the video were a 100-round magazine, shotgun attachment, and a novelty trigger crank. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, the publication warned of the existence of a chainsaw bayonet.

I've got a new DeWalt electric chainsaw that is a "killer." Got plenty of duct tape, too.

Is the chainsaw bayonet gas or electric?

First honest-to-gawd belly laugh I’ve had in days! Thank you!

I can see the ads now: “Hey preppers....are you a multi-tasker? Now you can cut up wood for winter and mow down spikey-haired mutants at the same time....leaving you time for plenty of sweet lovin’ when you get back home!

You can shoot at the bad guys and do yard work at the same time. What’s not to like?

Maybe just me.....but that thing might throw your aim off a tad.
I want one with the flame thrower option.

Here's the one I recommend. I bought mine when the recent hurricane brought down a large pine in the backyard.

This little DeWalt is a beast.

Because a chainsaw is much more dangerous than 5.56 rounds spitting out every second or less at 20 yards or more.

That looks like something w1n1 would post, with a title like, ‘Check Out The Ultimate (fill in the blank)’.

Chainsaw bayonets are for losers.

My favorite attachment is the thermonuclear handgrenade launcher.

They got it backwards. Anyone with experience knows that’s an “assault chainsaw” with an “AR-15 attachment”.
