@YuukaNeko All our military rifles and shotguns must retain the ability to mount a bayonet, although submachine guns are exempt in order to allow for a shorter barrel. Soldiers issued with these weapons are still issued bayonets, as the Paternian bayonet is a multi-purpose tool that is also a wire cutter (with scabbard), utility knife, and fighting knife, and issuing a separate knife to do the same thing would be nonsensical.
The bayonet is a potent psychological weapon, and bayonet charges are a regular maneuver in Paternian Army service, alongside more modern fire and maneuver tactics, usually when a unit must quickly cross open ground of short distance under hostile fire. Although not as important as it was several centuries ago, the bayonet is still relevant enough that it be included.
Because nobody questions the psychological effects of a company of soldiers running at you with long, pointy things and an expressed intent to jam it through your ribcage.
Awesome plane! A great counterpart to the Pummeler!
Unfortunately, I don't think there's any hope of export success because we have just flooded the market with A-9B Angels and A-1I/K Pummelers on the order of 61,000 machines, in addition to the 140,000 aircraft already made. And although this aircraft may be better and this is as cheap as dirt, the Pummeler on the surplus market is much cheaper than dirt.
Don't blame me. Awwam wanted 50,000 machines, and Auruna wanted an additional 11,000 machines. And so we sold it to them at the low price of $200K. And made at least 10 trillion dollars off of it.

Thanks anyways!
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation The whole Korean Peninsula is blockaded by the Paternian Navy.
Sure! @GrimMantis
@Liquidfox Thanks!
@frostbite Thanks!
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Paternian Army has crushed remainder of Chinese Navy.
Occupying Hainan Island and launching attacks in support of amphibious invasion.
@frostbite
@frostbite Got that covered.
@Boots I don't.
I put it in after.
@frostbite
@frostbite We have plenty of jet fighters.
@DankDorito I have A-1I variant of Pummeler on my files.

@YuukaNeko
@TheBigEgg Thanks!

@GoldenEagle More M16's!

@ElGatoVolador
Performance. @Qwertybattle
APC costs more to run and procure than modifying a civilian bulldozer for our purposes.
Other armies do this, notably Israel. @PINK
Is good investment for business. You'll be selling them in the hundreds.
Mostly because he will get them destroyed by the hundreds and need that much just to replenish losses. @GoblinDynamics
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation @GoldenEagle @DankDorito
@sheepsblood Thanks!
I would like your word on my F-7E Viper. @Qwertybattle
lol yep. @sheepsblood
+1"I HATE THE M26!"
I suppose the "Murcia" look isn't for you.
Because the M26 would be the basis which the entire Patton line would descend from.
allah akbar lol
Yes. So it shall remain. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
What we call "reverse psychology". @rubbishcraft
+1I suppose. My tanks are based off of Western designs such as the American-made Patton series and the British Challenger II. @EternalDarkness
No problem! I can see very heavy Soviet influence in the design. @EternalDarkness
Nice! @Qwertybattle
0.71 inches, or 18mm. It's actually realistic. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Bullet diameter = Caliber. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Comes out to .71 caliber, which is 0.71 of an inch. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
Looks good!
That's actually pretty average for a military musket. 71 calibers. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
What caliber is this musket? @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
No problem! @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
The title says "rifle" but the ammunition (a round ball) is not rifle ammunition during this time. Rifles fired belted balls. @SkullsAndCrossbones
@SkullsAndCrossbones lol realized how stupid my comment is.
Pummeler Mission simulator 2K16. @HackingAnonymous
So, is it a rifle or a musket?
Is it still in service?
The sail is a bit large.
There's a gun category now.
@YuukaNeko
Also tank guns, notably the American M256 120mm tank gun, 105mm M68, 90mm M3, 88mm L/56, and 76mm M1.
Torsion Bars!
Thanks! @Liquidfox
Thanks! @Gmanndo1000
