I’d buy this thing simply BECAUSE it’s stupid. It’d be a novelty, and a collectable. They’ll be off the market soon, and it’ll be one of those weird things you could show your grandkids.

Everything old is new again. I’ve seen pistol bayonets. On flintlocks. Works well if you didn’t keep your powder dry. For high-cap striker-fired semi-autos, seems pointless.

[...] most popular statements tend to be things like: this is stupid, I don’t get it, WTF?, and so [...]

Judging by a video posted by a friend of JayG’s, it is very effective if you need to stab Pikachu, or other stuffed animals, while out shooting with your friends. Sometimes, comic effect in a non-combat environment is reason enough to buy something.

*Slinks outside to remove the spinning rims from his wheelbarrow* Hauling dirt will never be so cool again.

Agreed to as the usefulness, but I too can see why someone might buy one as a novelty / gag.

For whatever the novelty-cool-guy factor is: I wear expensive merino wool socks. I would rather 2 pairs of awesome socks than this item. The socks I will use and probably brag about, a pistol bayonet? That is like adding spinning rims to your wheelbarrow.

You know, I had the exact same thought: I can’t think of a situation where I need this.

But the “I like cheesy action movies” guy in me still keeps telling me to buy one for some strange reason. I would like to have one just to get a picture of me holding my G17 with it attached.

On a side note, I had a similar discussion with a friend of mine about putting a bayonet on a Mossberg 590 at one point. He was bound and determined to do it, and I just kept asking “but when exactly would you ever use that?”
