UPDATE: Looks like this post was driving so much traffic to the video that the manufacturer thought it best to not let anyone see it anymore. (My job is done.)<\/p>\n

MORE RECENT UPDATE: The video is live again!<\/p>\n

Being the idiot gun writers that some think we are, it is simply our duty to inform the gun buying public of new products. That being said, let me introduce to you the – most fantastic, the ultimate, the best thing I have ever seen for personal protection – tool to come about in a long time. This product is due to be introduced at SHOT Show this year and I’m heart broken that I will not be present for what is sure to be the unveiling of the most ground breaking product of the century. I’m sure defense contractors, soldiers, police along with an assortment of tactards<\/a> the world over will be fondling this device and placing orders at an unheard rate of rapidity. I would collect one and offer a full test and review here at Empty Cases but I’m afraid I do not have the martial prowess, tactical dexterity or basic self defense knowledge to do this cool tool justice. (Hence, the reason gun writers like me are often reefed to as idiots.)<\/p>\n

After watching the video I do however have one question, why stab someone when you could shoot them? That question posed, the manufacture<\/a> does say \u00a0that the Manly Bayonet. “…will be a\u00a0game changer in CQB \/\u00a0zero-sum conflict scenarios.”<\/em> Gee, that sounds really cool, whatever the hell it means.<\/p>\n

Don’t shoot the messenger. I’m guessing that while you were fretting over the rising cost of your health care you could use a good laugh. And, after all, I have given you the information you need to now be cooler than all your range buddies. Just keep that in mind the first time you perform immediate action on your pistol and then have to test your new health care policy.<\/p>\n

Oh, and one final observation: Watch this video without the cool music (For the computer challenged this means turn the volume down.) Its more entertaining that way. By the way, it does seem a bit small to be called “manly.”<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
