M7 Bayonet

This is a realistic model of the U.S. Army's M7 Bayonet-Knife. It is designed to mount to an M16 rifle or M4 Carbine to be used as a close-combat stabbing weapon, as well as a general utility knife when not mounted. It was introduced in 1964, and is still in use today alongside its older brother, the M9 Bayonet. This model is designed to press-fit together when printed properly, however I would still recommend using glue to assemble it. I printed mine with 3 walls. It will print with 2, but the blade really needs 3 in order to maximize durability. Even with 3 walls, the blade is deliberately designed to snap off at the hilt if any major load is applied. The mounting mechanism is static, but will mount to any compatible bayonet mounting lugs. Please note that this is not a functional bayonet, it's for decoration only (Believe me, these things aren't cheap). Print settings: I recommend using 3 walls on all parts. Due to geometry and size, infill is not required on any part, b
