This video investigates the impact of attaching a bayonet to a Russian M91/30 Mosin Nagant rifle on accuracy at 400 meters. The experiment reveals that the bayonet significantly lowers the point of impact, requiring a substantial adjustment in aim when removed. The rifle used was a 1944 IAC X-sniper variant, otherwise stock infantry configuration.

Quick Summary

Attaching a bayonet to a Mosin Nagant M91/30 rifle can significantly alter its point of impact at 400 meters. With the bayonet on, the rifle shoots considerably lower. Removing the bayonet can cause rounds to hit approximately 9 feet higher, suggesting the bayonet may help stabilize rifle harmonics.
