Give the mkb 42 ( H & W ) a bayonet

this rifle has been probably addressed over and over and over.
but i wanted to share my take one it.

i’m not gonna cover it’s br placement. because to be quite honest, i’m not entirely convinced about lowering it to IV.

however, i, am someone who loves to have differences between weapons, and always have variety when it comes to gameplay.

and i pretty much dislike the enlisted approach where 99% of the time, weapons that comes after are straight up upgrades with no downsides.

so here is one proposal ( that has actually historical validity… for what matters anyway )
as said in title,

add a bayonet to the mkb 42 H & W


Why?

well, as stated, i do prefer when weapons have differences.

and since the stg 44, and stg 43 do not have bayonets lugs, but the mkb42s did. which if implemented, it would become a great weapon for medium range and increase it’s effectiveness at short. again, being different than the others options.

nothing too crazy, or fancy.
as to be fair, this gun is pretty rare.

P.S.

i am well aware others weapons are missing bayonets.
but, this is specifically to the mkb42.

the others, i’ll address them in the future. ( even though has been addressed before )

Great suggestion.

What about the BP Mkb? Could it also have had a bayonet or not?

unfortunately the mkb 42 W does not have a bayonet lug

but the mkb42 H does

OIP

EDIT: it does.

thanks to @_DELAVR for the correction.

The MkB 42 (W) has a bayonet mount, you can even see it in the game.

nice found.

an error of judgement on my part.

couldn’t find any pictures with any so i just assumed.

but thanks to ian’s video ( and your picture ),

the mkbw 42 W does indeed have a bayonet lug.

fixing the suggestion now.
