Cold Steel Shovel + FAL

Not quite a bayonet, but amusing





The shovel is amazing, the FAL is amazing the two together... not so much.

Must be a slow night with the adult bev...

Actually, I like it, maybe re-orient the shovel 90 degrees. would make a great clod-buster while digging a foxhole. Just shoot the rocky clay to loosen it up for the shovel...

Shooting hard packed dirt is a good idea, plus the FAL makes a good handle for your shovel, but can you spear chuck it into a tree? I very much doubt it but would like to see this happen.

Does it work as a one sided flash hider?

I have some of these shovels in my vehicles. Very handy, they can take a good edge and they throw quite well.

Plus the tape blends right in with the camo. The bad guys'll never see ya.

Think I might try duct taping a shotgun to my Izzy.

Somebody already beat you to it:

Perhaps you might want to strap a coffee grinder on to your buttstock?
