Never made much sense to put a knife six inches long on a carbine thirty inches long.
Because its value lies beyond the killing power of the combination.
Pretty sure I heard stories of US Army soldiers on prisoner detail who happily worked out the W1200 shared the same bayonet lugs as the M1897.
So they fit M1897 sword bayonets to them.
Only recently did I found out that the M4 had a lower railing that was designed explicitly for the mounting of the M7 bayonet.
