Chainsaw bayonets should be banned.

[Personal Responsibility]

” I don’t believe that there is a single person in the world dumb enough to seriously believe that anyone could, or would want to, attach a chain saw to the underside of a rifle and use it as a bayonet.”

There’s is an internet “law” called Poe’s Law that states any parody will invariably be believed by someone. Looks like today, that someone is at USAToday.

[Captain Peter Blood]

I take USA TODAY and I noticed that they changed format and the paper is now skinnier than ever. All changes for the worst.

You can cut trees and shoot bears at the same time!

[Golden Eagle]

Based on their politics, they can’t die fast enough for me. And used to buy a copy most every single day back in the 80’s. They were like the internet of the time.

Far be it from me to defend USA Today, but, posted right here on FR on the 6th, we had this with a link to AM Shooting Journal, 10 Stupidest Gun Accessories Invented:

The link to AM no longer works, but as you can see from post #2, there was an actual chainsaw attachment.

[Rebelbase]

I have the chainsaw attachment for my shotgun. Great for snakes in the woodpile.

[Pontiac]

I don’t think a picatinny rail system would support a chainsaw.

It would look pretty bada$$ but who would want to spray their enemy’s gut all over their pant legs?

[Rebelbase]

Fark’s take on the article:

Even after checking their sources, USA Today Stihl got it wrong

[Dr. Pritchett]

I think I had one on my rifle in DOOM or QUAKE. Can’t quite remember which...

[RandallFlagg]

Oh, they’re MUCH worse on that page.
An AR with a smaller AR on it’s bottom handguard’s rail, with an even smaller AR under THAT one, with a tiny chainsaw bayonet.
An AR with the Death Star attached.
And..
An AR with a large sex toy attached.

Yeah. Those folks are a bit twisted, but really pro gun fun.

Looks like open season on termites.

#15. Re the Baguette Bayonet. In Israel it is called the “Bagel Bayonet” or “Bibi” for short.

Hell, a stale bagel by itself is the deadly weapon known to man. Split your head wide open, it will. And that is without spoiled cream cheese (aka Biological Warfare).

[Newbomb Turk]

Personally when I was doing riot control training I thought replacing that front line of troops with maple batons followed by rifle teams would be better lead by a line of troops with 20 inch chainsaws.

People will try and grab a baton. Not too many people want to wrestle a chain saw.

Ha!...now I need the rest of the quote...

But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief.
I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you've gotta make up your
minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the
whole winter. I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates, there's just too many
captains on this island. $10,000 for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the
whole damn thing.

Brilliant

[TruthFactor]

It’s true! I saw an AR-15 just like that in the movie Sharknado!
