[grin] pretty good.

For close in work, combat knives are much more useful than bayonettes
these
days - or one might say that the bayonette is better when not attached
to
the weapon. I agree with the previous posts about the dubious utility in
combat, but when you're out of bullets and other things that go bang in
the
night, a trusty knife is better than nothing.
