They still put bayonets on guns? Wow, I would have thought they'd been retired by now. Bally ho! He deserved his medal.

A gun can always fail a knife that's even dull can still kill someone...

often times a bayonet is just used as a term for a knife.....while technically it can be mounted on the end of your rifle, it's normally just carried on your hip/ankle/chest.

wonder if he got music for that knife kill....
