Visual aid drives the point.
We all have heard about the noise of racking a shotgun as audio deterrence for a criminal in the prowl. Allow me to add a visual aid to the warning.
Truthfully the bayonet has no real defensive advantage if SHTF plus it makes carrying the weapon awkward; you either stab yourself or somebody not needing it or something the wife may object to.
But let’s admit it, it looks ever-freaking cool and menacing as hell.
Just the sort of rig I imagined for hog hunting in Missouri except I want a M1917 bayonet.
i hecking love working with a bayonet !
