   Pardon, but isn’t that a 20 round high magazine clip?

   The shoulder strap ring. Damn.

   For the record, the venerable M-203 grenade launcher is attached via the hand-guard attachment points, not the bayonet lug. What a bunch of ultra maroons.

     “The shoulder strap ring.”

     Yeah, economy of space, i.e. ‘sling point’.

   “…but can add an intimidating presence…” If you have an AR-15 pointed at you and the knife freaks you out, you need to get your head checked.

   That’s like saying that putting a cowboy hat on Chuck Norris adds an intimidating presence.

     They had half-packs of cigarettes, too. Now, they come in plastic pouches. The bayonet is an intimidating tool in trench warfare, or hand to hand scenarios, but it just gets in the way when you’re kicking in doors in a MOUT situation where you’re working in close-quarters.

     In close-quarters, I want the shortest implement possible (M4/MP5/etc).
