We start off with a little history of the Bayonet, as used for military purposes (the 1600s to modern day), and as we continue the guys share personal stories of using Bayonets during their military careers and share information on Bayonets in their personal collections. We field listener questions and one lucky listener will win a signed copy of Rich's M9 Bayonet book!
