So, since the one iconic thing about the Imperial Japan Army/Navy is the bayonet. And sadly the fact that no body makes a rubber bayonet that can be safely used in fields.
I decided to make one, so I don't have to stab my enemies using the real one. Here it is, completed with plastic sheets and the all powerful electric tape and a donated wood grips/screw set from an actual one. I later decided to wrap the blade in tape as well to make it softer on the outside. Bayonet is made to last ditch specs as best as I could without measuring an actual one. While not "good", it's passable and I am going to abuse the applesauce out of it by taking it around fields anyway. If it breaks I can make another one pretty good or repair it as well.
The biggest screw up I did was made the end of the grip slightly larger than it should have been. My biggest regret while making this thing. It locks onto the barrel pretty tight around the lock ring. The bayonet lug doesn't have a loc kmechanism since I had no idea how to make one with the tools and materials I have.
Another thing is that it's slightly slated when hooked onto the gun.
Sorry for potato quality photo!
