Seems it’s not a new idea after all

Much has been said about the Ka-Bar Pistol Bayonet.

The most popular statements tend to be things like: this is stupid, I don’t get it, WTF?, and so on.

But apparently Ka-Bar is selling a lot of them and laughing all the way to the bank.

I admit, I don’t get the appeal either.

Checking the mailbox this morning, my TSRA 2010 calendar arrived. Flipping through it, the theme this year is very old and odd guns (May 2010 is amusingly odd). Quite cool.

What do we get for Miss July?

My apologies for the poor quality. I no longer have a scanner so I had to take a picture with my iPhone. Still, you should be able to make out the important bit.

The spring-loaded bayonettes.

On a gun made circa 1820’s.

There are no new ideas. We just keep reinventing and rehashing old ones. 🙂
