More bayonets for factions

Post by LtSoucy »

Just an idea, since the US and other nations still use the bayonet will they be getting them soon? The US still use them and I know the G3 has one and not sure about the chinese rifle. :p

First of all the player should be able to shoot while using bayonet.

not possible to have a hand weapon that fires 2 different projectiles without having it take up 2 weapon slots, ie, like we have with the SKS now. Right click on a hand weapon can only be used for zoom, no way to get the weapon to fire bullets or stab via right click.

Do not want. The US does not use Bayonets in a end of the rifle way. Hell, some soldiers carry around tomahawks, but the only time I've ever seen a US soldier put a bayonet on the end of his rifle is in Generation Kill, and in some official functions.

i know for a fact the brits fix bayonets still and use it how it was designed for so they should at least get something like the sks or how they done it in FH


Here's the bayonet scene from Generation Kill. Clearly the bayonet as attached to the rifle is not considered usual or even looked upon seriously.

To bad, because the british bayonet has a hollow grib so the soldiers can still fire. Would it be possible to just add the bayonet but you would still have to switch to use it? Idk, im just blabbering suggestions :mrgreen:

Tough it might be based on actual events,never ever use a movie or tv show/serie as reference!

The US still issues a bayonet to its soldiers, they dont care if they arn't using it, if it has a use, they will issue it. And everyone Rhino is saying:


In the BF2 engine you cant fire 2 things at once, when you try to stab someone you are firing a projectile, when you fire a gun you are doing the same thing. You cant do both togather, its hardcoded.

Its a novelty, not something you'd rely on 100% of the time, but that being said, if we have the resources to we can and would.

Please don't. It'd be painful to see the US get affixed bayonets. Knives all the way, or if you really want a unique feel, then give the US combat tomahawks, but not affixed bayonets.

I know when I was in we were issued bayonets and it stayed at the bottom of my alice pack. I had a Kabar I bought and most of the other Marines in my unit bought them too. We learned bayonet skills in boot camp, but I would rather see a 'butt stroke' maneuver in PR than a bayonet for the USMC at least. The Kabar is fine though, since I still have mine and it's exactly like what is in PR currently.

US bayonets, joke and junk.
