So I'm watching this show last night and this alleged sniper is talking about hand to hand combat with a bayonet. My jaw dropped.
If you're an 0317 and in hand to hand combat? You're f*cked. There are 2 of you. You take your shot and didi mau. This guy was talking more sh*t than my brother does.

Given that I only have knowledge of snipers from what I have read in someOriginally Posted by Gunny
History articles, and tactics in other websites, I would say this guy is a fraud with that claim.
I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

You have 4 issue weapons and a two man team. Two M-9 Berettas, one M-16 and one bolt action M40A! with a 10x Unertl scope. Ain't no bayonet fighting going on.

Hmmmm ... I would say that if a sniper team is in hand to hand combat with a bayonet, they are probably trying to open their MREs. Otherwise, I would say somebody is telling war stories and a piss poor one at that.

All due respect, Sergeant Major, I would think if you got a bayonet and a modified at Quantico Remington Model 700 that don't come with a bayonet lug, you're carrying the wrong damned gear. What the hell are you going to attach it to? A stick? Hope you got duct tape with that useless crap you're humping.

Ok, that made me laugh.
