WTF man!!

Is this serious?

I know about the blocking piece on the front to prevent your oppoent from unlocking your slide.

But a bayonette???

Of course he's not serious. This is a Rooney gun; the object is to see how many ostensibly useful but really marginal items you can stuff onto an otherwise perfectly good gun.

Looks like winner!
 
Sorry, been done. About 1916 or so you could get an adapter for your MK VI Webly (Think it would fit on the previous marks as well) that allowed you to fit a No 1 MK III bayonet to it. I'm sure I have a photo of this assebly some where, I'll post it if I find it.

It has been done along time before that, look up(google) Elgin Cutlass Pistols, a percussion pistol with a small sword, sword usually made by Ames Cutlery, a very valuable collectors item.
 
While I think there is plenty of silly kit out there, I still think the glass breaker muzzle protector is neat in a ridiculous way.
 
The whole point of a handgun is to put distance between you and your 'opponent'... kinda pointless if you are within 'bayonette' distance... :eek:
 
I think the order of use is:
Rifle
Pistol
Knife
If you were to run out of ammo it saves you the time of pulling your knife in a hairy circumstance
 
I think you guys are missing the point...that setup would not have raised an eyebrow in a trench in WW1, where hand-to-hand combat was not uncommon, and a last-ditch fight with entrenching tools or an emptied Webley with a bayonet attached surely took place more than once.

That is why we put them on our rifles.

Keeps the person on the other end that extra 11 inches away until I get my mag changed.

A Brit won a VC in Iraq using his.

Kinda pointless to argue the usefulness of a bayonet. They have been in service since... hell I dont even know!

My Great uncle was a WWI vet. He didn't speak about the war often but he did mention that up close and in a trench, a sharp shovel was better than a rifle.
