It’s kind of pointless when the knives are as short as they are (why are we not allowed to use bayonets as knives?), so can we get a true underhand stabbing animation?

It’s the only way to do it. Kill or be killed.
Then it’d actually give us reason to unequip bayonets from rifles. Or they could sell bayonets as knives.
It is odd that he had an M1 Garland with a bayonet attached, but only switches weapons and only has the bayonet in his hand. An animation for attaching and detaching the bayonet would eliminate the unnaturalness, but perhaps it would just be too much trouble if such a thing were actually implemented.
Also, Mosin Nagan and others are equipped with spike bayonets and they need to carry a knife separately.
Also, Japanese bayonets, for example, were not sharpened very well and had no utility as knives.
I know that they were dull to a certain degree so the bayonet wouldn’t get stuck, but not to the point you wouldn’t be able to stab with it and use it as a large knife.
No, you will need this.
Not when it was straight out of the factory. But even then, I guarantee the bayonet was taken care of so that it can be used to its full effectiveness.
In the case of the Japanese Army, new bayonets did not have blades.
The rule was that just before moving to the front lines, the blade was sharpened using a grinder, etc. Only the tip 19 cm of the 40 cm blade was to be sharpened, and even then it was so rough that it left sharpening marks and did not even have the ability to cut bread or ham.
A blade usually works by cutting as it draws, avoiding bone, but the bayonet was a tool for thrusting with force, not for carefully aiming between bones. The bayonet was intended to stab and kill many people, so it was a tool that needed to be sturdy.
I don’t know how it was done in other countries, but it was probably similar.
In modern times, knives as standard equipment in many armies have been integrated with bayonets, but the WW2 era was still a time when many knives were deployed that were not bayonets.
A bayonet is a bayonet, a knife is a knife.
Yes, a tool meant for stabbing, not cutting. Just like the knives we see today. I wonder why the Marine Corps used them this way…
Is this your knife?
We do not know what the USMC is thinking.
They even call this a key.
The real KEY is this.
Let’s not think too deeply about the USMC. 
This is a key. It unlocks any door you come across.

He’s not joking:
That particular underbarrel shotgun is mostly used to take out locks…uh, entire doorknobs. There’s no other point in using this really, as the main rifle is far more effective

Exactly. And that door will never be useful again.

That wasn’t in the job description for the key when it was made
