What Are Bayonet Forceps?

The improved version of the former Soviet Union's AK-47 assault rifle, the AKM rifle, began production in 1959. The bayonet used by the AKM rifle is very different from that of the AK-47. It is a multi-purpose bayonet, which can not only be mounted on a gun for stabbing, but also can be removed for use as a wire cutter, and it can also saw harder utensils. The bayonet is more successful in design, structure, and performance. This bayonet was also installed on the AK-74 5.45mm assault rifle and 7.62mm sniper rifle later developed by the former Soviet Union.
