DoD announces new inverted Multi-purpose ballistic tomahawk bayonet (IMBTB)

Filed · 1547

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Department of Defense officials recently announced the limited deployment of the new Inverted Multi-Purpose Ballistic Tomahawk Bayonet, or IMBTB.

The new piece of tactical equipment is being assigned to a select number of ‘specialty units' currently fighting the war on terror in Afghanistan.

“The IMBTB is a combination of military hardware in one sleek and deadly package. It was designed to fit nearly all of a soldier’s combat needs while remaining somewhat unobtrusive and tactical,” said Major General John Manning of Army Research, Development and Engineering Command.
