if your gonna be that close to someone dont ya think one of u woulda gottin shot by then? and even if you didnt then he would shoot you wen u tyed to use it. didnt ya notice that they dont use bayonets anymore for a reason? they dont work unless your enemy has a mussle loading rifle ------------- "She's the one who keeps me all excited, she keeps me begging for more" Never Leave-Seether |

The US and British still have 'bayonets' these days for very close combat fighting. They really aren't as much bayonets as they are combat knives that can be put on the barrel of a rifle. |

^^^^^ but still its kinda useless. ur gonna get shot before you can sneak up to someone. although it would be linka fun to play woodsball with only bayonets. it would be like swords only Halo 2  ------------- "She's the one who keeps me all excited, she keeps me begging for more" Never Leave-Seether |

Actually yes they would get that close, but why would you want to have a bayonet when you could just barrel tag them? That's bayonet enough for me.
Put a plastic one or somethin on there for a scenario if you want. That's all I could see a use for it. ------------- It is the strong that make the weak. |

BTW. The military has only kept the bayonet in the inventory because it is an aggression training tool and survival knife. If you feel the need for close combat, use a big Sharpie marker. Although if you can get that close, you must be a sniper. |

I love you guys saying how we don't use bayonets in the military anymore. Haha. Right. Bull**edited**. Granted, it's not going to be often that you need it, but if you DO need it, having it there is a hell of a nice thing. At this point I'll point you to the movie We Were Soldiers. That bayonet charge at the end of the battle. That DID occur, more or less as portrayed. A bayonet is nice in close quarters fights as another way to mangle the enemy, when accurate shooting may not be practical- like on the run. It also helps pin him in place so you can shoot him easier if you care to take your time. Humans seem to have a primal urge to stab each other, and the combination of knives and fully automatic weapons was a great day in the history of warfare. Another example I'll point to is that story out of Iraq recently about a scottish unit that got ambushed. I don't have the link, but more or less it was 20 infanteers from one of the highland units that got shot up on a highway. They ditched out of the vehicles, and got to the side of the road, pinned down. Within a half hour, there were about a hundred iraqis moving into position to surround them, and support was still a ways off. So what did they do? With a William Wallace-like efficiency, they fixed bayonets, started screaming, and charged across the road. Thirty five dead, and 65 frightened Iraqis later, there were two wounded scottish soldiers, 18 that were just fine, and a few buildings that had been routed of insurgents. Now don't tell me that in real life bayonets are useless. They are still very much in servie. In paintball, though, it's an idiotic idea. For that matter, I want paintball throwing knives. I think I'll buy a pack of Crayola markers and write 'THROWING KNIFE' on each one, and keep them in my pocket. And in my next woods game, I'm gonna rent a firefighting aircraft, and conduct a Paint Airstrike. If you're that close to a guy that you can stab him... just shoot him! And remember, anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Shoot til they calll themselves hit. ------------- "Abortion is not "choice" in America.

There's actually a certain satisfaction in getting a 'prisoner', or having someone surrender to you. Anyone can get a guy with a lucky shot, but actually ebing close enough and good enough to be in a position to demand a surrender just can't help but make you smirk. Then again, there's certainly a lot to be said for just shooting him. :P

well, in a scenerio game, say you have a mission to sneak into a base un noticed. Well the sound of a shot is going to alert the people. True its fun to shoot the hell out of people, but when theres say a 10 foot rule and you dont want to alert the enemy, then you can come up behind someone and kill them with the knife. No shots fired to alert enemies further in. ONLY in a scenerio game would it be cool and if you dont think so and flame me or call me a n00b for saying that then whatever. ------------- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/FatmanLash/Paintball/grassviewleft.jpg">

| my friends and i play a game like this. we all have sharpies and try to "slit" each others throats. its hard as anything to do but you only get 10 paintballs with like 8 people so paint can get wasted quick and it turns into a knife fight so to speak. its actually pretty fun for ghetto white boy woodsball. |

I agree with the concept of the bayonet being used in the same fashion as a barrel tag... if you are skilled enough to get that close to your enemy without revealing yourself. I think the bayonet should be made from a plastic composite or something of the sort and be shaped like a blade but have no sharp edge. one more thing "reincarnation14", long live general lee! ------------- In the absence of orders, find something and kill it. -field marshall Erwin Rommel (the desert fox) |
