In instances where that isn't enough firepower, it has the option to [[BayonetYa equip a bayonet]]. If that ''still'' isn't enough, it can use a microexplosive to launch the bayonet at the enemy (with an impressive effective range of eight meters). It helps somewhat that the bayonet is a VibroWeapon and therefore [[ArmorPiercingAttack goes through most soft infantry armors like no one's business]].
