Bayonets are weapon attachments featured in ArmA 3's Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany Creator DLC.
6H3[]
The 6H3 is used by both East German and Polish military forces. It is primarily designed to be mounted onto AK-pattern assault rifles and some sniper rifles:
- AK-74N assault rifle (5.45 mm)
- AKM assault rifle (7.62 mm)
- MPi AK-74 assault rifle (5.45 mm)
- MPi KM-72 assault rifle (7.62 mm)
- SVD marksman/sniper rifle (7.62 mm)
6H3s are available with either a black polymer or brownish wooden grip.
It should be noted that there are several caveats regarding bayonet compatibility on the AKM, MPi AK-74 and MPi KM-72:
- The AKM Pallad is the only sub-variant that cannot be fitted with bayonets as its underbarrel grenade launcher obstructs the slot.
- For the MPi AK-74, the MPi AKS-74K is specifically unable to mount the 6H3 due to its carbine-style configuration.
- Two variants of the MPi KM-72 are not able to mount bayonets: the MPi KMS-72K and MPi KMS-72KSD. In the case of the former, this is due to its carbine configuration while the latter's integral suppressor prevents the bayonet's mounting.
G3[]
The G3 bayonet is used by both West German and Danish military forces. It is available on multiple weapon platforms that are derived from the G3 family of battle rifles:
- G3 battle rifle (7.62 mm)
- G33 assault rifle (5.56 mm)
- G8A1/MG8A1 precision machine gun (7.62 mm)
- GV/M75 battle rifle (7.62 mm)
The grip on G3 bayonets feature two unique finishes: black and olive.
It should be noted that specific sub-variants do not allow for bayonets to be mounted even if their parent weapon is compatible:
- For the G3 family: the G3A3A1, G3A4A1, G3KA4 and G3KA4A1 do not allow for bayonets to be fitted either because of accessory rails obstructing the slot or the barrel being too short.
- For G33s, only the G33KA2 and G33KA3 do not allow for bayonets to be fitted.
- The G8A2 and MG8A2 variants of the G8 specifically do not support bayonets.
G11[]
The G11 bayonet remains unused by any of the factions. It is exclusively supported by only one weapon platform:
- G11K2 bullpup assault rifle (4.73 mm)
Two types of grip finishes are available: black and olive.
It should be noted that the G11's bayonet cannot be fitted onto the G11K2 RIS sub-variant. Only the baseline G11K2 rifle allows for bayonets to be mounted.
Trivia[]
- Global Mobilization was the first Creator DLC to feature bayonets as mountable attachments. However, they are purely cosmetic and cannot actually be used for melee attacks.
- Bayonets are technically considered to be "suppressors" since they utilise the muzzle slot. However, they do not actually contribute to suppressing the weapon's noise levels nor increasing muzzle velocity like "real" suppressor attachments.
- Prior to Update 1.5, the 6H3 was the only bayonet-type attachment in Global Mobilization. The patch later added bayonets for G3s and G11s.[1]
- The patch also made the 6H3 heavier, increasing it from 6.67 "mass" to its current 12.2222 "mass".[1]
