One of those things I love about Russian weaponry, pretty much everything except mortars come with a bayonet attachment point… and not so sure about the mortars. |

Errm. The mkb42 is german. It's the first version of the stg 43/mp44 or whatever you want to call the german assault rifle. |

The Japanese were keen on the bayonet too. Even their machine guns had them. |

IIRC it was first issued in November '42 and none were taken to Stalingrad. |
