For an SKS rifle which is better a knife bayonet or spike bayonet?

In: Firearms, Germany in WW2, Militaria [Edit categories]

Answer:

The spike bayonet is a little more efficient at penetrating, but neither one impacts the quality of the rifle itself. The only SKS variants you'll find the spike bayonet on are the Chinese Type 56 carbine and the rather uncommon Albanian variant.
