I was only just able to check it on Enlisted. I never noticed before that the M38 had a flash hider as opposed to the M38As muzzle brake. Explains why 1 has a bayonet mount and the other doesn’t.
EDIT:
Apparently the M38As could attach bayonets.

The Lee Enfield is just superior
wtf does the fg 42 do so much better than the others that it needs to be balanced by a variant 
Also… like a bayonet is suuuuuch an important feature that it would make the gun overpowered if it had one right?
And cheers to finding you against yet again another Germany focused topic.
I am at least able to acknowledge when something for my most hated faction is neat or needed… seems you don’t have that ability Mr “Germany has favoritism”
Because where is this favoritism here? Why don’t they get bayonets? Care to answer? Because if they were favorited… why do they get limited by this so called balance you speak of.

Number one:
Why are you talking about just German guns? The BR1 Enfield rifles, Ross MK3, Lanchester, and Winchester are the first ones that come to mind (and most important IMO) but there are a lot of others too.

This guy did it much better.
Does it get the action while aiming?
I actually didn’t realize all the others got bayonets. That would be fair then. Thought a few of them didn’t get it. I would have said it’s got the best recoil and shooting experience of the bunch except type hei, which has less damage.
Don’t they give recoil buffs in some form? Visual or otherwise?
They also allow for a charge without switching off from the gun. That is quite a significant advantage
no they dont. Where the hell do you even get that from?? There’s stuff like the Fedorov that have a bayonet. They just dont do it cuz they dont feel like redoing the models, or even making new models and laughable people like you who bitch about basic features

I vaguely remember someone talking about it a long time ago. That’s why it was stated as more of a question.
The main point was being able charge without switching guns plus the extended melee.
And now that i just verified the recoil reduction, bayonets do infact give significant performance buffs between these two things
Lol, kinda funny your name is tard and wanna try talking shit about me not knowing shit. I just confirmed it. They do give recoil reduction. Straight from enlisted tester mayo. With a name like that, you should probably be more careful making statements against others
Bro, u ragebaiting?
U gotta be trolling like wdym because i made a suggestion for my favourite nation u complain that i didnt cover the other factions, i rarely play other nations im finishing the German TT before even thinking about doing another Nation, if you are so mad that i didnt include the other nations u can make a suggestions yourself why should i do suggest a fix that i dont even experiance
This is why. The forum is very loud in one direction.
It takes one to know one. None of the guns lacking a bayonet perform any better than their counterparts. The kiraly has recoil that forces you to crouch to be accurate IF the dispersion doesnt screw you over (and thats not getting fixed by a bayonet); the FG 42 has questionable ammo economy and counterparts that perform better than it does; the armaguerra mod. 39 has to be the most dogshit semi-auto rifle in the game; the mannlicher, ross and winchester m1895 are just bolt/manual action rifles; the lanchester has to be the most ok smg in the entire game; and the mkb 42 (h) has to be the worse variant available at its BR while the mkb (w) might as well be a reskin of the mp 43/1.
Theres literally no standard on what guns have bayonets: the fedorov has one, the as-44 mod 5 has one, the type 96/99 has one, the t20, avs 36, avt 40, type 100 e/l; johnson rifle; type 2; even exotic things like the TT fedorov rifle and (recently) the mondragon variants have one etc. etc.
At most the only thing tying which gun has one and which gun doesnt is either novelty or some other technical factor regarding modelling because there are still so many guns in the game (most of which have been as they are for years) that dont have their full features in the form of a bayonet. Any boost in performance is only a marginal 5% or 10% reduction in recoil, and similarly to dispersion. Literally the only functions that bayonets have in this game is the functionality of a prick at the front of a gun and historical representation. Thats. It. These things are not overwhelming force multipliers but basic features of the guns that could mount them.

If your only doing it for your fav guns (all german) than say so.
I already said it’s fine, i didn’t realize all the others had bayonets already.
And a free recoil reduction is not worthless. Even at 5% it brings down recoil a couple points. When all the other forms of recoil reduction stack it absolutely makes a difference. And the little “prick” you’re talking about is also a massive advantage. To not have to swap off your gun (especially when it’s already a really good gun) is huge. You’ll die everytime if you get caught with your pants down with a melee weapon out. The extended reach is also a huge bonus to melee combat. It’s not simply nothing, all these things add up. I’m pretty much fine with most of the suggested ones here except for the kiraly for sure, and the mannlicher (but only if the lee enfield no.4 doesn’t get the aimed action mechanic. Dude never replied to me on that)
See… the problem here is that instead of doing your research which ironically you poked fun at them for not doing you just instantly said no because of your anti german bias.

Yes. It’s a straight pull BA so it gets to continue aiming
