Why is everyone dissing the bayonet on sniper rifle? It makes sense. Here is why:
Snipers in a dense urban battlefield did probably end up in situations where the enemy was under the same roof, therefore a bayonet would make sense. And the battle of stalingrad was known for these situations.
Also, you people assume too much about what loadout a sniper should have to "fit" the class. Which is wrong. I read an interview with a german sniper in ww2 and when he was asked what his favorite loadout was he said:
Sniper rifle, SMG, as many grenades as I could carry.
(no joke, that was the literal text from the interview). And that answer shows that a sniper probably expected ending up in situations where hand grenade range combat was taking place.
