US M4 BAYONET BY IMPERIAL
HISTORY
The Bayonet-Knife M4 was adopted in 1944 for use with the caliber .30 M1 Carbine. Patterned after the Trench Knife M3, some early examples actually used M3 blades. The basic M4 bayonet design became the basis for subsequent U.S. M5, M5A1, M6, and M7 bayonets. M4 bayonets were produced for commercial sale during the 1960s. Other countries also produced military variants of the M4 bayonet.
