But have you heard of the Mexican sacatripe?
...
That sap cap is pretty smart if it can work as well as a real leather wrapped sap (it won't).
Fun fact civilians cant own that in virginia only the police can but its such a hunk of shit noone cares. Its all because of the name.
Bayonets don't give you nearly the range of melee techniques that a gun designed expressly to be used as a spear would because most rifles aren't balanced correctly for it and weigh too much.
I've thought about different actions, calibers, cartridges, etc. and come to a few conclusions. It needs a simple action because if you want to be able to hit things with it frequently (let's go ahead and assume that for some reason you get into a situation where you can get close enough for this), it needs to not be able to fall to pieces. Simple actions also tend to be lighter. Due to the recoil created by full-sized rifle cartridges, this means you can't use anything stronger than intermediate cartridges. Honestly it should theoretically be fairly easy to mod an existing gun into a credible spear, but all these fucking faggots in the modern gun industry just can't fucking stop piling on dead weight.
I see no reason why wouldn't a simple bolt action rifle with a socket bayonet and an inline stock wouldn't work. Or take the action and put it into an aluminium chassis that is designed to be gripped as a spear.
Most people are going to want a semiauto. They also may want to have an adjustable stock to change the gun's length. That can give it more reach in melee or make it compact in tight spaces.
Just use grenades 8^)
