I voted for the Mosin.
Considerations: 1. You want maximum reach. 2. The M1861 Springfield and the Brown Bess have greater reach, but their bayonets are offset (because of the clearance needed to load from the muzzle). The Mosin bayonet is closer ot the line of the bore. The blade is also stiffer. 3. The bayonet is primarily a stabbing weapon. Therefore a spike is better than a blade, when mounted as a bayonet. Knife-bayonets were an attempt to have more versatility. |

Bayonet drill that developed with blade bayonets took advantage of the slashing option, but yea… When you and another dude are both fighting with pointy things, the dude with the longer one wins. It's an allegory for life.

Well, I know what I hope the other guy has, the longest thing they can get, so when I use my little Model 12 trench gun to block their shit, it will be easy to step in, and render their bullshit useless.
Except if it's RA and his god damn Halberd... All he has to do is snap it straight back and catch ya with the bottom of the axe. |

Brown Bess Musket.
Hide in a low tree branch or behind a big rock. Detach bayonet, leave musket in plain view. (Hey, who could resist fucking around with an old musket?) Use the bayonet to kill the fuck out of the bad buy when he bends over to pick up the musket. Profit. |

Or a Japanese type 38 with bayonet. It had a hook on the hilt that they were trained to use to lock onto an enemy's bayonet and disarm before they ran the poor sap through. Or what about the Japanese LMG bren gun clone with bayonet?

Krag with the bowie bayonet BAD choice. Look at how thin the wood is under the magazine. Having replaced a broken stock on mine, I wouldn't use it for a fight like that. It's an awesomely well balanced, great handling rifle, and if it had the strength it'd make a good pike too, but it just wouldn't take the abuse. Too thin.
For a bayo fight, I want something light and quick. I trained with the A1, so I picked the A2. Reach is great, but I'm not gonna STAY at halberd fighting distance. I'm gonna knock that long spike out of the way, step inside and plant the butt plate in his face.
Why? That's easy...... Because blood makes the grass grow.

And despite the fact that blood makes the grass grow, no way in fuck do I EVER want to get in that kind of fight.
You've gotta have a special kind of oh shit moment go through your brain before you decide to use a bayonet on someone. The levels of previous oh shit to get to that one would be epic. |

97 Trench gun w/ bayo! I would agree. the 97 bayonet is fairly long, and the 97 is pretty maneuverable. You can stab, block, and buttstroke pretty effectively, I'd think. |

Personally I would go for the M1903, specifically with the early straight stock and the M1905 bayonet or the 98k for it's ergonomics in stabby stabby mode. I wonder how many guys screaming "No M1, poll fail!" have actually held an M1 rifle with a bayonet attached. Compared to many it's heavy and awkward. |
