The CAN Bayonet 2000/2005 is the up-to-date standard multi-purpose infantry bayonet of the Canadian Armed Forces, issued to match the C7/C8 service rifles as the successor of C7 Nella Bayonet after replacing the C7 Nella Bayonet after 2004.[1][2]
Description
The CAN bayonet 2000/2005 is a German-designed Canadian bayonet manufactured under licence by Colt Canada. It has wire-cutting abilities while functioning as a combat bayonet.[1]
The bayonet itself is Шаблон:Convert long in total. Its Шаблон:Convert blade has a thickness of Шаблон:Convert, and the muzzle ring diameter is Шаблон:Convert. It weighs Шаблон:Convert and has a different scabbard and vest frog from the C7 Nella Bayonet.[2][3]
The Bayonet 2000 was originally developed based on a NATO standardization agreement by AES in Germany. It uses a hilt identical to US M7 bayonet, but with a different AES design instead of replicating the entire M7 bayonet's design. It is fitted with a dark olive green grip, scabbard and olive drab green scabbard carrier. It also has web frog used to be fitted onto Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment (MOLLE) system.[1]
The Bayonet 2000 was first selected by United States Marine Corps in 2001, but was rejected due to political issues, which eventually became the lead-up to AES going bankrupt.[1]
After the bankruptcy of AES, the bayonet was rebranded to Bayonet 2005 by Eickhorn-Solingen Ltd.[1]
