From The Realm Of “Why, You Imbecile?”

 Last night I pooped the bed and couldn’t get to sleep…but I couldn’t really wake up neither. The mind wobbles in such a state, and I got an idea that made me chuckle and I woke up. With the full power of my formidable intellect now on-line and focused on the subject … I examined the idea again and asked myself - why?

Well….why not?

What about a bayonet for the little Ruger Tupperware Rifle?

HAR HAR HAR! Why not? BFYTW…??? 😂👍

How hard could it be? I’d just need one a these….



I already have a cosmetic flash suppressor … so now I would only need one a these…



A tanto bayonet..!?! How cool is that!?!




There’s the standard M9 bayonet that’ll fit…



…and then there’s some pretty damn cool variants …

HAR HAR HAR!!! 
AWESOME

😎👍


I dunno what I’d actually DO with a bayonet on it… maybe menace the other retards and gun club duffers at the range? Well, thinking about all this led to a deep dive on the M9 knife/bayonet system and from what I’m reading - the squaddies absolutely HATE it. It’s heavy, poorly balanced, the “multi tool” functions on the sheath dont work well, the tang has a weak point which makes it a terrible crow bar, wah, snivel, sob!!! 
😭 

But… I think it looks cool! In all likelihood it would look dumb as hell on my little carbine, and probly only generate MOAR chit and abuse from the other envious old farts at the range. I fear this one will never go beyond the “entertaining thought experiment” stage. Another potential nail in the coffin is - what would a bayonet do to barrel harmonics? In my experience with old milsurp guns, they generally don’t open the groups up, but they will shift the point of impact, slightly. It’s not generally a problem on man sized targets at typical battlefield ranges… but at long ranges it might be a problem…?

Unfortunately I have better things to spend my money on.

Pity…😞👎
