Our brains seem to be trained on an instinctual level to fear knives. A criminal might well think that you won't pull the trigger if he rushes at you, but it's entirely different to run at a man holding a spear pointed straight at him. A 14.5" barreled AR with a bayonet doesn't lose much mobility rounding corners, and can in fact hinder Lootie's attempt to grab your barrel as it comes around the corner.

At the very least, I recommend you have one available. More options are better than fewer.

It’s not going to matter if he thinks I’ll pull the trigger when I mag dump on him in 2 seconds from fear.

I want to develop a bayonet with a reciprocating blade. Maybe wire a small solenoid to my Surefire's battery?

Can't say I follow your reasoning 100%, but as the saying goes, "It couldn't hurt."  (Unless you accidently stick yourself with it).

I did order an M7 bayo for my pinned and welded 14.5" BCM.

Whether it's necessary or not, it is way cool to have the pig sticker dangling off the HD rifle.

It is important to remember that owning a guitar doesn't make  you a musician.  I'd say if  you really intend to use that bayonet maybe some training is in order?

Stab until you get stuck in bone, pull the trigger to clear the blade...

I have always believed in the bayonet. Sometimes you can't shoot due to people in the background or a malfunction.

It sure helps with weapon retention too.

Just remember you can't mount an M203 and a bayonet at the same time (unless it's a 20" AR/M16 with a 9" M203 barrel, but then the 40mm round will impact the bayonet if fired).

The original XM203 side sling swivel was designed to allow both simultaneously, but DOD disappointingly adopted the simplified version, rendering it impossible.

A serious question (as I fend off the laughter of every knowledgeable ARFCOM member ):  Do you really need to stick it in and twist it?

Sir I see you exchanged gunfire with these 2 individuals and they have expired.
However the 3rd was repeatedly stabbed and also expired.
Why was he stabbed vs shot?

10 round mag limits sir.

Youth and skill can beat by old age and treachery, if you season it with some bitterness and a bit of reckless abandon.

In all seriousness.  How often does hand to hand happen on the modern battlefield?  Is it still prevalent?  Just wondering as I'm just joe civy and was under the impression that its a rarity outside of potentially super-secret squirrel stuff now days.
