Agreed. I attempted skinning an animal with a bayonet as well, and was surprised by it's inability to do so. Still effective as of 0.50.125214 Experimental.

This has been brought up before. The SKS bayonet is not a knife, it is not sharp on the sides, hell the point isn't all that sharp either. It can not cut anything only poke holes in people.

I don't know. In a post apocalyptic situation, if there are no alternatives, I imagine a person would try to skin an animal with a bayonet.

You could try sure but in a real life situation an SKS bayonet wont cut anything you would have as much success with a baseball bat. And not to mention an SKS bayonet is attached to the rifle during manufacture and would have to be unbolted from the rifle to use for anything.

Alright, understandable.
