The Bayonet

Sipsey Street Irregulars has a good Praxis Posting on the bayonet. Apparently the Army is considering dropping the bayonet from Basic Training.

I live in California where the bayonet lug is a big no-no. Sorta. It is one of the characteristics of the dreaded "assault weapon" but only if it is on a semi-automatic rifle with a detachable magazine. I guess the politicians in Sacramento want to put an end to all the drive by bayonetings.

Anyway, a fellow I know rigged a Cold Steel Bushman on a short stick as a bayonet. When I asked him how he plans to attach it to his rifle, he replied, "duct tape".
