That could be, but some ww2 era + SMGs actually had bayonet lugs. !?!

In the melee, a Japanese soldier hacked off Cairns' left arm.

After watching his own arm get lopped off, Cairns managed to kill the Japanese officer, retrieve the man's sword with his one remaining arm and, sustained solely by his righteous anger (and possibly a ****load of shock), storm right back up that goddamn hill to deal with that son of a bitch's friends. As Cairns advanced in front of the rest of the Chindits, still swinging that Katana at anything that moved, he killed and wounded several Japanese soldiers. He kept right on chopping until the blood loss from the hemorrhaging stump got the better of him and he collapsed and died.

One can only imagine that scene

The only reason he stopped killing ... was because he ran out of blood.

You don't say

Damn. War sure seems to involve a lot more insanity, fire and man-nudity than the history books tell us.

300 was right!

Leave it to the Brits to call a pointy metal poker thing a bayonet...

The Germans on the other hand... they knew how to make gun cutlery...

There is a bayonet that says I'm going to stab you and the dude behind you too!

Also leave it to the British to call a hunk of scrap metal put together in someone's garage a SMG...

Not very accurate to compare a ww2 smg with a ww1 battle rifle though.

A British WW1 battle rifle had a pig sticker of similar length:

Oh I like them all. Nothing says "in your face!" like a bayonet charge...

Yup, usually some lead, shrapnel and probably some of what the ground is made of in your general vicinity.
