Yeah, but man, have you seen the bayonets on those things!?
And on the Enfields, Springfields, Mausers, etc.
Fifty years ago surplus shops and hardware stores had 55 gallon barrels of Civil War bayonets for a couple of dollars each. Blade bayonets were more. cash and carry.
On some TV Show or Movie, I saw recently (May have been “Turn”), an officer tells his troops, “Think of it as a spear that shoots!”.
Yeah. I can see that. Brilliant description.
