- General George Patton Jr, "War as I knew it" 1947 | If i was looking at an enemy bayonet in combat, i would also be looking at a gun. And if that bayonet was intended to kill me, then the gun would be pointing at me. Now a blade may scare me, but a rifle aimed at me would scare me more... Like stated above though... when you're out of rounds a blade can come in handy, hoever i think that a combat knife would help more in hand to hand combat than a bayonet. Does anyone who has had hand-to-hand training agree with me?
