"...The last general issue was the 'Sword, bayonet' for the No1 rifle.
Now it was a sword and its purpose was as a bayonet all the later ones are 'bayonets, whatever'..."
But I believe the order is still "Fix Swords" and if the 'powers that be' still call therm swords*....
* Mind you, those same 'powers' call the SA80 a rifle

Well you could hardly ask a Guards Drill Instructor to order " PREEEEEZENT......wait for it......CRAP!"
I hated the bloody thing when I was issued with it and lost my L1A1. Didn't even SOUND like a serious weapon - IWL85. Rubbish for falling plate matches as well!!
Ah well, I could buy a FAL here but it would be Cat1. Dream on Andrews!!
