Subject: Suggestions for making gear more efficient
jastayme3    11/22/2007 10:29:50 PM
What are some suggestions for making gear lighter, more comfortable, and otherwise more efficient. One I thought of is issueing a long brush-cutter knife(a kukri or a machete or something of that nature) with a hollow hilt in which to contain something else(a compass, a radio, a multi-blade knife). Would that work?

Another thing is to start thinking of "bayonets" as simply knives that
can be attached to a rifle barrel, rather then as designed specifically as
bayonets. That has already started being done. The Russians issued a
bayonet with a serration half-way down one edge. That would be "not fair
play" if it was primarily a bayonet. But in fact it was meant to be used for wirecutting.
