In this video we will take a look at the US Army's M9 Multipurpose Bayonet System, look at its features and then disassemble it for maintenance and reassemble it. This Bayonet enetered US Army service in 1987 and is still in service today for use on the M16 family of rifles and the M4 Carbine.

I’m a retired 11H/11B serving on Active Duty from 1983-2009 and not many of us liked the heavier M-9 and we preferred the M-7 which was perfect in all aspects. The Army gradually went away from keeping all field gear light weight as was the main focus during Vietnam to much heavier items that just made life annoying in a tactical environment.

I absolutely agree. If they are going to give us heavy gear then it should be worth the weight and the M9 simply does not meet that criteria.

I still have my issued M7 bayonet from the mid 80's. I won't knock the M9 but I'm like you, I prefer the robust, no frills M7 baonet. Simplicity. Thing has a blade just made to slip in between ribs. Great combat knife/MRE opener lol.

LOL! I've stabbed a lot of MREs with my M7. Thanks for your comment!

Fun fact: the m7 and m9 fit the older Israeli galil rifles also. My lan-cay is right at home on my galil arm

Right on! I never thought about it, but I had an M7 on my Galil AR years ago and it just follows that the M9 would work as well.

We did the opposite in the Aussie army, we used non issue stuff so we could keep our issued stuff serviceable and clean. Easier to replace personal kit than issued kit, plus we were usually issued rubbish

@FreeAmericaChannel Жыл бұрын

Don't get me wrong, we carried non-issue stuff as well if the Army wouldn't issue it to us, but having pretty gear for inspection made the process so much easier, plus if we lost or broke something in the field we could get it replaced by Army issue stuff without too much problem. The Army was famous for issuing old, dirty gear to young troops so after a while we learned not to take it and make a big enough fuss about it that our leaders would get involved. Once I became an NCO the guys in supply would hate to see me come in with new troops because I would raise hell if they tried to issue crap or refuse to take gear back that was serviceable.

The "nut" you referred to is a slotted Allen head cap screw.

I thought I was clear that it was a slotted allen head. Did I miss something?

@@FreeAmericaChannel I have a bayonet that won’t fit any of the attachments that I own I have the Super Stabby attachment and an attachment made by Sig The ring on the hand guard of the bayonet doesn’t fit neither of them The ring is too small not by much at all So I just wanted to see what diameter I should look for when it comes to proper fitment There’s a website that just sells hand guards but I want to know which one to get

How could the defense department approve this disgrace of a "bayonet"? Handle is round not oval making it impossible to steer the edge. It is not full tang and the nut will come lose after a couple of wacks. Thank you for your indept review.

Clearly I'm not a huge fan of the M9, but I honestly can say I have not seen the tang come unscrewed in the field. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
