Sort of defeated by the whole “long barrel on a short weapon” thing, isn’t it?

Anyway, picture at Johnson’s.

    Stubby rifles are not terribly effective pikes, but pokey pikes are better than bludgeons. Sharp pointy things, well used, can be quite effective. 20 UK soldiers (presumably out of ammo) fixed bayonets to their L-85 bullpups and charged 100 Iraqi insurgents in 2004. They won. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article88661.ece
