Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Lots of fun, flexible (you can slap people with it)
Cons:	Questionable usefulness, pointy tip...

What else can be said about this product? It's cheap, it's fun, it's different and definitely NOT useful. :D

Attaches most AR-15 varients (I've tried it on the TM M16s, TM M4, G&P M4...)

The sheath comes with a drop-leg belt loop, but no leg straps, meaning that it would be hanging there... there are slots on the side for adding your own straps of some kind though.

Is it safe? While it is nice and flexible, it does have a pointy tip that could cause some damage if intentionally shoved into an eye or throat or any other sensitive region.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):
Cons:

this is just a top-up for JCYC5's review.

I have the bayonet and use it on my ICS M4 once in a while just for looks.

The fit is very tight for my M4, this is mostly because the plastic molding is slightly dodgey and some excess bits get in the way.

The blade is pushed slightly upwards because of the excess that lives in the clip part of the handle. I managed to unscrew the clip off the knife and found out it was nothing serious.

I then proceeded to force the bayonet onto the M4. Job done.

The plastic warps if you leave it out in the sun or any form of heat. Which would have you wielding a bent knife.

All beings tremble before violence. All fear death. All love life.
See yourself in other. Then whom can you hurt? What harm can you do?
A noble horse rarely feels the touch of the whip. Who is there in this world as blameless?
Then like a noble horse smart under the whip. Burn and be swift.
Believe, meditate, see. Be harmless, be blameless.
Awake to the dharma. And from all sorrows free yourself.

Positive aspects of the product (pros):	Very realistic finish, heavy design, realistic attachment
Cons:	Actually can be dangerous (some see that as a pro I'm sure), plastic in grip are a bit brittle

HFC M9 Bayonet

I bought this as a picture taking item and for those much envied knife kills. It's actually a great little (and I use that term relatively) knife.

The plastics used in this replica are pretty heavy as far as the "blade" is concerned. On top of that the finish on the blade is great. I've had more than one person at both matches and seeing my airsoft collection believe it to be both real metal or an actual M9 bayonet.

Also it's very solid. Once mounted on a rifle it's not going anywhere but be warned, the plastics used in the blade are extremely ridged and it does have a certain "sharpness" and thus I can safely assume that if you stabbed someone like this it will definitely hurt someone so be careful if or when you mount it.

On a down note I'll say that despite having a very nicely constructed "blade" the grip is very poorly constructed. As of now mines clearly cracked just from being being occasionally mounted mainly for pictures.

Despite this though, I love this little bayonet and I'd give it an 8 for it's unbelievably realistic finish.
