Ian McCollum explains why bayonets were rarely fitted to Submachine Guns (SMGs). He notes that while more SMGs had bayonet lugs than commonly believed, their issuance was typically to specialized troops, officers, and leaders, not general infantry. The primary reason for the lack of bayonet use on SMGs is their shorter barrel length, making them significantly less effective as a stabbing weapon compared to a full-sized rifle.
