You know, when I started this thread it was because I thought that my GZG Merc
figs would look "spiffier" with Bayonets attached. I wanted a little more
lethal air to them.

GOD I love this list!!

Makes a Narn sympathizer want to cry....

Bayonettes?

Isn't that a female dance troupe from the NAC?

(Yeah, I know, Narn Bat Squad time.  (8-) )

Er, have you actually looked at teh reach on a Bullpup weapon when fitted with
a bayonet? Consider the AusSteyer or teh Brit SA80; you have a greater reach
and dexterity with a fighting knife!? (No I'm NOT getting into a discussion on
the merits of fighting styles!) How do you think the NAC figures will look
with a bayonet on the end of the rifle? Hm, could be mistaken for flash?

Some of them. The NAC Marines with their bullpups will look as ridiculous as
modern bullpup weapons do (Sorry, but the fella with the bearskin hat, red
coat, and that stumpy little gun with a knife on it just does not work
aesthetically[1]). But the French or German figures might do better.
