Use of bayonets for crowd control

 * ... that during 1968 revisions to the U.S. Army Field Manuals, there was an attempt to eliminate the use of bayonets for crowd control?

Created by DarjeelingTea (talk) at 02:06, 30 December 2016 (UTC). Notes: 1. United Kingdon: "[U]sing it during operations during the Hong Kong 1956 riots" sounds a bit repetitive. 2. United States, paragraph 2, the last sentence. This source says only "Their World War II-era M1 rifles were tipped with bayonets", it doesn't say anyone was injured by them. There's one more source, though. And I can't access it. 3. (Update.) I've found out that I can actually access the book used as the source for the hook. You should have specified the page by adding "&pg=PA1" (where "1" is the page number). You can use the so-called "Wikipedia citation tool for Google Books" from Help:Citation tools. If you specify which page it's on, I will change the tick mark to the green one. --Moscow Connection (talk) 01:50, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg New enough, long enough. I wasn't able to access almost any of the sources, including the one supporting the hook, so AGFing.

. Ready for DYK, as the exact source for the hook is provided in the article now:. --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:12, 14 January 2017 (UTC) (Addition: I now see that there was a page number already. I just didn't notice it cause the page wasn't automatically opened.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 15:22, 14 January 2017 (UTC))
 * Update.
