C20A1 Bayonet

Description

The Bayonet post 9/11 was really relegated to ceremonial purposes as the effectiveness in modern (at that time) virtually made it impractical.  The term "Fix Bayonets!" is a slogan lost to modern history.  In the ESU military the bayonet is often mounted by those with experience but the problem is that you have a sharp knife and it makes people naturally careful and wary (other than the fact that the weapon itself is lethal).  The C20A1 shown above is shown with the mounted bayonet as well removed to the right.  The handle is thick enough to slip on the picatinny rail system on the bottom which secures it in place and the handguard has a hole to slip over the barrel.  In practice however, the bayonet is more reserved for ceremony than actual use, though it is uncommon for soldiers to mount it on their weapons.
