	~~DESCRIPTION GOES HERE~~		The M7 Bayonet is a U.S. bayonet-knife designed to mount on the [[M16]] family of rifles, primarily the M16A1-era pattern used during the [[Vietnam War]]. It is a spear-point blade bayonet that can also be used as a general-purpose field knife when not fixed to the rifle. The M7 is best known for its lightweight, simple construction and its use with the M8/M8A1-style scabbards common to several U.S. postwar bayonets.
	=HISTORY=		=HISTORY=
	~~TEXT GOES HERE~~		The M7 was developed as a bayonet-knife for the M16 rifle system, drawing heavily on earlier U.S. bayonet-knife patterns and adapting them to the M16’s mounting hardware. It was standardized during the early years of M16 adoption, retaining a compact blade profile and straightforward latch and muzzle-ring interface suited to the rifle’s flash hider and bayonet lug. In U.S. service it was issued with a scabbard system that supported both field carry and integration with load-bearing equipment.
	<br>[ ~~SOURCE~~]
			In Vietnam, the M7 was carried by U.S. troops and allied forces equipped with the M16/M16A1, serving both as a close-combat bayonet and as a utility blade for routine field tasks. While true bayonet fighting was comparatively rare, bayonet training remained part of standard soldier skills, and the M7 provided a compatible edged weapon for patrols, perimeter defense, and emergency close-quarters situations. Its long service life and wide production base made it one of the most common U.S. bayonets associated with the Vietnam-era M16.
