Times where you've actually used your bayo?

First day in the field... full gear. We started competitions of bayonet throw. Trees, piles of dirt... everything and anything that could be pierced by a bayonet - was. Snack time we got whole bread (whole as in uncut, not whole-grain) and cans (pate). We made better use of our (next day-cleaned) bayonets from that day on.
 
a few years ago I used my Grandfathers Ross bayonet to convince a guy that climbed into my apt. at 5am that it wasn't in his best interest to 'stick' around.:)

i was balls deep in the s**t.

a mortar shell had gone off 7 yards from me and blown my right eardrum. in the fuzz and catastrophe of stalingrad on october the 3rd, 1942, there was a shrieking pain and a shrieking ring on one side of me, and heinkel one-elevens laying a barrage nine hundred yards to the other.

fritz rolled slowly around the corner of the block ahead of me--if you could call the slabs of demolished concrete and jagged glass with their carpets of black smoke billowing in a concord of suffering 'buildings', he came around it with a panzer, infantry, and a mortar. slowly. tentatively.

I was dug in a crater, mud caked on my face and clothes, and I was separated from my unit. it was too late for me to run. playing dead was not an option; they'd shoot or bayonet me as they passed. within moments, i'd be spotted.

suddenly, a terrible thought dawned on me. i knew that i was going to die--that was a given and i put it out of my mind. i realized that the raspberries i'd had in my lunch had left seeds jammed between my molars.

'f**k,' i thought. 'i can't get a string off my socks to use to floss these out'

so i grabbed my 91/30. over the rattling clatter of the tank treads, i heard fritz shouting in german: "schauen sie, es gibt denjenigen". clearly i had been spotted.

i flipped the bayonet out, and jammed it into my mouth, never happier that i'd kept a wicked point on it. bullets from fritz's mausers thwapped into the dirt above my head. i wiggled the point of the bayonet in between my first and second molars and tried to flick the seed out.

come on, you sonofa#####, i thought.

come to papa.

"A" for effort, but the bayo on that mosin is not flip out (m44 is)and is cruciform, and would never get out a seed. If you had used a German k98 bayo I would buy the story as legit...
 
My Tula 91/30 ex sniper won't shoot accurately at all without the "pigsticker" attached. It also makes a good bottle opener when you don't have the twistoffs...
 
We used to use our bayonets to stay awake during battle school. You'd know you drifted off when you felt a sharp jab in your elbow. The instructors would tell us that if we are too tired to stay awake, they wanted us to put the bayonet blade-up on the desk and sit with your head over top. If you fell asleep, gravity is all that was required to connect blade to skin. Stupid, but both methods work!

I did a Whole 300 Pound Pig (Shish Kabob Communist Style) over the fire on the end of my Factory 26 SKS Bayonet. My Biceps were really hurting after holding it and rotating the Pig continuously for at least 8 or 9 hours. It was very tender and juicey as the cosmoline really added a nice flavorful marinade.
The Pig Juices really brought out the best in the SKS Stock, it still smells quite good today as I lick it ocassionally while shooting at the range.

I punctured a bunch of Taliban tires on basic. They were transferred to an Afghan garage after that, but I'm sure it was all good.
 
Call me whatever, but the needless suffering of animals doesn't amuse me.

Kill something as humanely as possible and consuming it is the way of life. I accept this, and live by it. I eat meat daily, and use animal products.

However...

Gutting a small animal, then blasting it - while video taping it - is simply cruel.

That to me is a perfect example of someone who shouldn't own a firearm.
