Re: British experimental x2 e1 bayonet
Hello-the prongs were part of a flash hider/disperser for the rifle-the later models had various integrated types at the muzzle-I have a commercial export FN model bayo with black plastic grips but otherwise similar.

The Argies in 82 had the same bayonet with the black plastic handle.
You can see one in my other post "My Personal War Souvenirs"

Remeber,
If the Enemy is in Range..Then so are YOU!
Or, as my old serjeant-major used to say when doing bayonet practice......."If you're close enough to use a bayonet, you're too f*cking close!"

Re: British experimental x2 e1 bayonet
Some of the X2E1 bayos were sent to Australia for trials as the FN FAL rifle programme was a joint exercise with other C'wlth countries adopting the same weapon-these days all the major ex empire countries use various different rifles in 5.56mm-the trials bayos are found here but are rare, and valuable when they do turn up.
