Hi guys when I first got RO I vaguely remember reading some where that having the bayonet attached to your rifle reduces your shooting accuracy I can
Well, the difference between an mounted and unmounted bayonet is not small, its rather big.
The best example would be a M44, sighted in with bayonet extended, its impact point is around 10-20cm to the left at 100m.
If I remember correctly that came from a thread in the old Mod Forums and there was a lot of discussion about what it does in real life. Some people say it improves your accuracy because it can extend the barrel a little bit, others claimed it hinders your accuracy because of the additional crap around the end of the barrel.
I can't remember the final conclusion, but if I remember right, in RO, it doesn't make a difference, or very little difference if any.
