Just thought i'd mention that in the 2nd Gulf War, a Scottish company made a bayonet charge on an opposing Iraqi battalion and slaughtered them.

Though, it is true that they are relatively ineffective weapons on todays (much less future) battlefields. Still, cooler then a knife though, dontcha think?
