In your worst nightmare.....
Has anyone tried one of these? Yes... it's axe blade... I guess if your channeling your inner Viking...

The barrel is longer than the blade. When would that come in useful? Other then when trying to look cool.

Boo, Hissssssssssssss! this has nothing to do with logic, this is tacticool Viking head smashing with axes on your rifle stuff... You reprobate, where is your sense of "I don't need this, I want this, because it's just badass, useless, but badass as hell."

Well, I'm a little surprised here. You're siding with coolness over practicality.
 
Looks cool.

But I'd rather have a very long bayonet with a razor sharp tip that can penetrate layers of clothing, jackets and gear. And if I thought it likely that I'd end up using a bayonet, I'd prefer it were mounted on an M-1 Garand.

By the way, I didn't just post my comment because of Marine Corps heritage and our affinity for the bayonet.

An axe is a slashing and chopping weapon. What that means is proper execution always comes from circular path of travel towards the intended target. A bayonet, by comparison, is primarily a puncture wound weapon and proper employment requires a linear path of travel. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. A bayonet to the jugular will arrive quicker than swinging an axe to the jugular.

Not only that, but especially with modern rifles the strongest orientation of the rifle is inline with the barrel. Give me a functional bayonet anyday.
 
They won't, they're stuck on full retard with the battle mugs. You can get a plastic variant for much cheaper, plus your beverage of choice will remain cooler in it due to lack of conduction compared to basically having radiator fins on your mug otherwise.
 
Crap! I didn't even think of that. I've been sort of randomly looking that thing up online every couple of months now for more than a year now, if I'm not mistaken. Putting your drink in an aluminum cup is basically the fastest way to take an ice cold drink and turn it tepid. Or turn hot coffee into room temperature coffee.
