That's what I wanted, to use a spike bayonet on this M39.
Chaarge!

Spikes are ok, but they dont have any decent cutting ability and the
blade is far too narrow to break bones, bust ribs and whatnot.
But they do come out easier....
Perhaps something like these would be better?

I do not like any of them.
Ive got spikes on about 1/3rd of my SMLEs..the rest are good steel
blades sharpened well. And of course..some of my other arms have
bayonets as well.
I really hope that I could never need to be bayonetting anyone, this
is all for appearance only.
A blade can be a marvelous impliment in the proper circumstances. And
few people pay a lot of attention to a spike, unless they know what can
be done with one. A nice sharp blade on the other hand...they tend to
instinctivly shy away from.....Which is a good thing. Prevents one from
actually having to use it at times.
Which is a very good thing, no?
Bayonet adds to the length of the rifle and is mostly a disadvantage.
On the other hand..some bayonets simply arent worth mounting....

This is an AK bayonet. It is very practical because it can be used to
cut wire and do other things.
