Fix Umbrayonets! is the new command barked out to soldiers on the march when it starts raining.
On receiving the new order, each soldier reaches down to their belt, and whips out one of the new Umbrayonets, then fastens it into the special clip holder located at the end of his/her rifle.
They then smartly snap open the typically shaped, water-proof, reinforced hood, thus effectively transforming their shouldered weapon into that of a military styled umbrella.

Most excellent.-- lostdog, Oct 26 2007 "Now, the key to beating the halfbaker army, is to only attack when it's raining..."-- RayfordSteele, Oct 26 2007 I thought soldiers were meant to be waterproof?-- DrCurry, Oct 26 2007 <Burgess Meredith> Hwahhh! Hwahh! </BM>-- Jinbish, Oct 26 2007 (+)May I suggest that the rifle has a button allowing the umbrella be gimbol-ed and bottom heavy so as to be effective rain protection even while firing?No?
Well (+) anyway-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Oct 27 2007 Nice drawing, but shouldn't the umbrayonet be camo-coloured so it is less visible? (Stealth Umbrella anyone?)-- Canuck, Oct 27 2007 There ought to be a Swiss Army umbrella-- MaxwellBuchanan, Oct 28 2007 Transferred illustration to Tumblr - link-- xenzag, Apr 22 2019 random, halfbakery
