As combat experience accumulated, the U.S. military recognized the usefulness of giving the lightweight carbine a bayonet capability.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe resulting M4 bayonet was standardized during World War II and was heavily influenced by the highly successful M3 Trench Knife. The M4 retained the general blade and handle concept of the M3 but incorporated a muzzle ring and locking mechanism that allowed it to be attached to the M1 Carbine.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eTo accept the new bayonet, later M1 Carbines were equipped with the Type III barrel band, which incorporated a bayonet lug. Earlier carbines could also be upgraded with the new barrel band as weapons passed through military maintenance and rebuild programs.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe M4 became closely associated with late-WWII and postwar M1 Carbines and remained in American service through the Korean War era and beyond. Its basic design also influenced later U.S. bayonets developed for rifles such as the M1 Garand and M14.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eToday, original M4 bayonets are desirable military collectibles.
