...some prefer shooting for the honourable ones, hanging for the rest. Others say the bayonet is preferred, as it's less noisy and offers an introduction to the realities of the job at hand to rookies. Freepers, what say ye?

Fortunately, any of the above would be a good decision. However, I'm thinking that a WWI-era sawtooth bayonet would be especially terrifying to those who deserve to be skewered.

Ah yes. The Swiss M1914 Pioneer's bayonet- Combat Engineer's, to Americans- should do nicely in that role....
