Gun store and parts maker Paper City Firearms — named after its hometown of Holyoke, Massachusetts, the world’s largest center for papermaking — highlighted a new take on the bayonet at last week’s SHOT Show in Las Vegas.
Peter Kennedy, who owns part of the company, showed off their prototype for The Stinger, a rapidly deployable bayonet system at the company’s booth on the lower level of the Sands Expo. The device enclosed in a metal tube attached to the rail system of an AR rifle near the muzzle where an ordinary bayonet would.
“The purpose of this — and it’s something that people are freaking out like ‘oh, my god I can’t believe this is coming to the AR-15 market’ — we actually developed this for the military and for SWAT teams to give our guys a fighting chance,” said Kennedy, who had retired as a police detective sergeant before joining the company.
He demonstrated how the device works. The blade — basically a stainless steel spike — slid out of the tube
