Google says it was obsolete in the 1970s. Wonder how obsolete?

 The knife and the sword were obsolete by the development of the firearm.

But they are both still very, very deadly..

I suspect several bayonet instructors would contest that view. I was
thinking the ZSU-1 ammo might not be made anymore or perhaps a product
of those Afghan craftsmen who turned out the letter perfect Enfields
in the 20s.
