Today a crazy mofo crashes into a group of pedestrians in Akihabara, Tokyo, then jumps out of his car and stabs the survivors. Fucked up man. Here's a report by who else, a girl in a maid costume.

or the real life version...
then theirs the kind thats more blade than firearm..
I found it while doing pirate research.A Pistol Sword is a sword with a pistol or revolver attached, usually alongside the blade. It differs from a rifle with a bayonet in that the weapon is foremost a sword, with a pistol being worked into the design. The two components are not separable. Such weapons were primarily used in naval warfare to provide a weapon that could still be used in the event of a jam or misfire and until it was safe to reload.
Historically, some early flintlock pistols were constructed as gun-swords, with the barrel of the pistol attached to the side of the blade of a shortsword or dagger. Examples of these weapons can be found in the armoury of Wawel Castle (Kraków, Poland). Pinfire cartridge gun-swords were produced in the 1800s, although in limited quantity[1], [2]. There was even a US patent filed on the design of one such weapon. Replicas of pistol/dagger and pistol/cutlass combinations from the 18th century have been made available for sale from Replica Weaponry.
Pistol Swords did not last long through history except as novelties and collectors' items, because instead of getting two weapons in one, one got a heavy pistol and a heavy, off-balanced sword.

geneva convention really fucks our soliders up really. I got a ex solider boy at my work and he was telling us how shit it was for them and how his m8 got done for murder as he shot a guy with a petrol bomb but by the time he shot him the bomb already left his hand. And seemly thats not allowed. Very bad.
Also sayin how when there were gettin trained they still taught them the bayonet charge lol

Its ur not allowed to fire while the bayonet is still stuck in they is what i have been told. Also the army work on the idea wound 1 person takes 3 out of the battle but considering who we fight today don't care for there wounded we might as well kill them out right.
