Interestingly enough, the HK G-36 (which the XM-8 is derived from)
actually uses the old AK-74 bayonets left over from the NVA stock!

Oh? And just when did the North Vietnamese Army get the AK-74? And why would an
industrial giant like Germany need to use someone else's bayonet? Are you
saying Hk made bayonets for the NVA when the could be made much cheaper behind
the Iron Curtain?

Does the X in XM8 mean "experimental?" How many have actually been used in
combat?

Do you have any other sources that the company brochures?

When will you establish a link between an infantry weapon and military
aviation?

How much of this will you choose not to answer?

Actually I don't really care, I just find you amusing and feel sorry for your
inferiority complex.
