Why is there a hole in the top of the bayonet?

Personally, I believe that a hole in the top of the bayonet was used for screwing in screws, but of course it could have been to reduce weight. Soldiers had a limited total load, so in order for them to carry more supplies, a hole was made in the top of the bayonet to reduce the weight.?

First of all, not all bayonets have holes. This construction was first used on the bayonet of the Soviet Nikkam automatic rifle after World War II. This knife bayonet first realized that knife + sheath = clip, which meant that the bayonet began to change from a simple bayonet tool to a multi-functional utility knife.

The AK74 continued to practice the AKM, a multi-purpose utility knife. Later, the German g36 used a large stock of AKM bayonets, so Germany also used this bayonet.

The Russian bayonet still has this design today.

The American M9 bayonet also mimicked the Soviet tool knife design. However, the American workmanship and materials used were far superior to the Russian products, and they had a significant influence on them. Later, the Chinese bayonet equipped with the Type 95 rifle also referred to the American M9 bayonet.

Yes, through all these years of war, the US military found that in actual combat, ? knife + sheath = tweezers? s function was largely unused. With the gradual consumption of the M9 bayonet, the US Army's new M10 bayonet eliminated that design or highlighted the stabbing function.

The British bayonet worn on the SA80 was also influenced by the M9.

The two bayonets fitted to the FNL rifles remained this simple bayonet.

The bayonet has a number of extended functions in addition to cutting and slashing.

Let's start with the blood groove, which is the groove on the surface of the blade.

There are three widely circulated theories about the function of the blood groove. One is bloodletting and knife extraction. It says that when the knife catches a person's muscle, it stabs it into the body. If there is a blood tank, it will disrupt the vacuum and make it easier to draw blood and bleed.

Secondly, it saves material and reduces the weight of the knife. In the early days when steel resources were scarce, the cutting surface was punched with a blood tank to save material and reduce weight.

Third, increase the strength of the tool. The blood groove is similar to a track-like I-beam structure, which can greatly increase the strength of the tool.

Depending on the function, some bayonets have serrations on the back that can be used to saw wood, bone and rope.

Some bayonets have large back teeth that can be used to break wires.

When there are bayonet blade teeth, the teeth are more delicate and have a certain sharpness.

These toothed knives can be used to cut rope.

There is a practical use for drilling holes in bayonets.

The holes in the bayonet bayonet are specifically designed for screwing in screws. Surely a hole in the knife creates atmospheric pressure so that the grease in the meat doesn't get on the knife, and would make the knife cut more smoothly, rather than being flaky enough to hang up?

The wire on the sheath of the knife is designed to be a screwdriver that can be inserted into the sheath with scissors. The flip can be used with pliers or as a wrench.

Some countries have bayonets and hooks on corkscrews.

The Chinese Type 81 bayonet, a unique to China with its intimidating four blood grooves, still equips the vast majority of the country's military.
