Interestingly enough, the HK G-36 (which the XM-8 is derived from)
actually uses the old AK-74 bayonets left over from the NVA stock! Had
the HK G-11 rifle been adopted the evolutionary bayonet for it was
going to be a ballistic tube-launched device. This was in the design
stage when the hand-guard version, single rail model was testing.
