[tommy_gunn]

do the armys of the world still give training in it or just the ones that we have to fight

I completed BCT last week. We completed bayonet training.

The marines teach the use of this during boot camp with pugil sticks.

It teaches aggression along with other important things.

Yes we did a lot of it as well.

The Canadian Forces do bayonet training on BMQ/BMOQ, but it was just recently introduced as I never did it when I went through in '05 and again in '06.

Not sure anymore, but when I did basic in 99 we did bayonet training to great detail

In Spanish army there was atraining, including bayonet movements called "Tabla de combate", where you were trained in using movements of the weapon to protect/attack in body-body combat.

Anyway I think bayonet is not so useful in such combats actually. ) I said so...if needed you can use it, but I would not act thinking in bayonet close combat).

The idea is to make the movements natural to you so when you have to use your bayonet or rifle butt, the movement will be more natural (i.e. you don't have to think about doing it before you do it).

I only had to look at a bayonet and I began to bleed. Knives/bayonets and I are not compatible.

In close combat is much better not to think, just to act instictively. But I with cold mind I think is dangerous to trust a bayonet to save your life in body-body combat. Of course it can, but i will use other items better.

It´s different you have nothing else that your bayonet and your teeth (one of the most infectious bites is human, I knor Komodo´s dragon is worst, but I have no one in my rucksack) :-D

But this is like flavours, each one his favourite ways: someone likes metallicac laces, other combat knives, other infantry spades...it depends, like all, including the real situation)

Cheers

That is my point.

 

[Solideo]

That is my point.

Ok, so, we accept medussa like pet and kicks in bollocks like mortal combat instinctive war tactic in close combat :wink:

We had it at Infantry school. I lost my voice from screaming "Kill!" so much. Building aggression is 90% of the course like what was previously said. Putting a bayonet in somebodys chest is a very intimate thing, it takes far more courage than putting a round in somebody from 100 meters out.

It's the distance where your technology offers you no advantage.
