Tomahawk... Bayonet?!?!

I think we should deploy this to all the RP's and Personnel on guard duty at all camps.... may make them more fearsome! ;)

That’s correct: DOD has announced the (initially) limited deployment of the IMPBTB (Inverted Multi-Purpose Ballistic Tomahawk Bayonet). The initial IMPBTB issue will go to SOF units (as might be expected) but long-term is expected to be issued out to every rifle in the inventory (at least those with a Pic rail, the MIL-STD-1913 rail or even the STANAG 2324 rail).

“The IMBTB is a combination of military hardware in one sleek and deadly package. It was designed to fit nearly all of a soldier’s combat needs while remaining somewhat unobtrusive and tactical,” said Major General John Manning of Army Research, Development and Engineering Command…”

  1. Interesting... the bayonet seems out of place in today's modern warfare where battles arent really fought in trenches and hardly hear of any platoon/company staging a full-on bayonet charge like in WWI and II lol... however I think mounting a tomahawk on the rifle is somewhat ill-concieved... it just looks kinda weird lol.. good for chopping up rations though or if our soldiers use it - good for foraging for durians and mangos lol
