Abstract
A close quarter combat butt stock and blade apparatus for an assault weapon is provided with a slideable cover for a close quarters combat assembly having a rear bayonet. The close quarters combat assembly is connected to the concealed rear bayonet, has an interior opening that defines a close combat handle and a hand shield and is positioned behind the first pistol grip and first trigger. A second trigger is also built into the interior opening. In a closed position, the slideable cover covers the close quarters combat assembly and the rear bayonet remains concealed within the butt stock. When the slideable cover is in the open position, the rear bayonet is simultaneously extended rearward permitting the military and law enforcement user to thrust the rear bayonet at an opponent attacking from the rear or side. Maintaining the bayonet and close quarters combat position with the firing hand next to the second trigger permits the user to fire the weapon much more quickly than before, which will optimize the handling of the assault weapon during bayonet and close quarters fighting, protect the firing hand during bayonet and close quarters fighting and provide the user the means to fire the weapon during bayonet and close quarters fighting. Other embodiments include an assault weapon, an assault rifle, an assault weapon equipped with a close quarters combat assembly and a method for rapidly sliding a slideable cover of an assault weapon and extending a rear bayonet behind a user.
