The Bayonext Out The Front Bayonet
The AR-15 and M-16 variant rifles were originally designed for use with a bayonet, but with free float full-length hand guards being all the rage with tactical operators these days no one ever uses a bayonet anymore. Well the folks over at Bayonext have just the answer for you with their Bayonext Out The Front Bayonet. Because no one rocks a bayonet lug anymore (if you are, get with the program gramps and get a tactical rail) the Bayonext was designed to mount to most modern rail systems on the market by way of a standard one inch tactical light mount. So in case you run out of ammo during the zombie apocalypse or patrolling the mall you’ll have a deployable 7.5 inch pike ready to go.
In all seriousness, what the heck? The current trend with longer hand guards does make it harder to mount a bayonet, but hanging a 14″ accessory off to the side of your rifle seems like a good way to add weight and throw off the balance of your rifle. Even if it allows you to stab stuff with the press of a button. If you really need to add a bayonet to your rifle there is the Geissele Picatinny Bayonet Mount we posted about last year. If adding a bayonet to your rifle is something you’ve been meaning to do the Bayonext retails for $369 over at bayonext.com. Check it out in action in the videos below.

Alright, the first product actually sold that will allow a bayonet and suppressor to be used simultaneously! I hope this isn't as heavy as it looks like it might be. Bayonet uses may be niche, but I can't believe how commenters are poo-pooing them. What would Patton say?! Most soldiers carry a knife suitable for fighting quickly accessible, though they highly doubt they'll ever use it. A bayonet is more lethal than a knife. Being quickly deployable, this could be useful in extreme close quarters if a major malfunction of the weapon occurs. Probably the most practical use of the bayonet today is to kill wounded or dying animals without resorting to shooting them again. It's often very desirable to keep some distance between yourself and a potentially dangerous wounded beast.
... California politicians immediately envision this being used in every shooting in the state. And immediately outlaw its purchase, ownership, transfer, discussions, pictures, and even thinking about it... Special legislation is proposed...
