I'm fairly surprised nobody has mentioned the venerable M9 bayonet. I personally prefer the M-11 issued to the bomb disposal units, I like the handguard better esp since I'm not using it as a bayonet, purely a survival tool. I used the factory sheath for a long time until recently I picked up...
And while I agree with FlyinBryan, both statements above reflect both hearsay and an opinion that while surely founded in something, does not rest on any provided history. Personally if I was to own only one of the two aforementioned rifles, it would be the one that I chose when faced with the...

Hell in CA you can't have a blowgun, that's a misdemeanor. I mean really... when was the last time someone was killed by one of those?! And how do you outlaw a piece of tube? So if I have a section of PVC pipe and bamboo skewers I'm going to jail?? And automatic knives... a spring loaded...

On average in the USA about 100,000 people die per year due to...
MachIVshooter: Check out that second link I posted, there is a chart there that shows leading causes of non-accidental deaths as well. Those are from 2002.
