Three days after the tragic Sutherland Springs church shooting on Nov. 5, 2017, in which 26 people died, USA Today published a video depicting various AR-15 accessories that the shooter could have used on his rifle. One such accessory was a chainsaw bayonet mounted under the barrel. Apparently, they thought that it was a common add-on.
The video immediately drew a great deal of criticism, as well as many memes. The public response was so strong that USA Today was forced to respond on it’s Twitter feed: “To clarify, the video shows both the shooter’s modifications, as well as other possible modifications. The shooter did not use a chainsaw bayonet.”
Up until then, most people didn’t even realize that an AR-15 chainsaw bayonet existed. It does, and it was invented by Robert Weir in 2012. Weir, a metal craftsman, outdoorsman, inventor and entrepreneur, debuted a functioning model of his Zombie X Chainsaw Bayonet at SHOT Show in 2012. It consisted of a Picatinny rail mounted 10-inch electric chainsaw bayonet on an AK-47.
