Actually it is not such little knife. It's just large enough.
A smaller Trdient knife (TCFM-2) was tested in german Messermagazine. It was broken under pressure of 1400 kg. Other contestants were broken at 1050 kr (Strider DB) and 1600 kg (Airkat M1).
So my 100 kg was really nothing.

As I promissed, Picts from Messermagazine's comparative test.
First of all, the knives were ment to be broken.
This is how they looked at the end:
This is how they were placed for testing, and how the pressure was apllied.
And this is a test summary :
The prices in Germany are generally higher than in US.
This are the prices of tested knives:
Strider DB - 277
Airkat M1 - 569
Trident TCFM02 - 325

Looks to me like he's just resting his finger on the magazine well.
Soldiers are not goof-ball mall ninjas. If you make a post trying to call a soldier out when you have no idea what you are talking about, then you're probably a mall ninja whose read a book about gun saftey, imho.

The guy with glasses on the left has his left index finger on the trigger. The guy on the right has his fingers on the mag and the muzzle pointed at his friends lower leg. Pretty cool "tough knife" thread though.
Yes in deed, these are airsoft replicas.
In Poland it is impossible for a civilian, to own automatic weapons.
We are members of a paramilitary organization and we are training at uor free time. So I wouldn't call us nor ninjas nor soldiers.
Thanks for the hints on gunhandlig. Using toys does not mean not to care for safety, but this comes with experience. Will keep on improving.
Is just like driving a car, yuo gain habits with experience and hours behind the steering wheel.
I've just want to show you a possible use of a "tactical" knife other than collecting it.

i would like to give you some advice on the gun handling. Try to avoid pointing your gun upward, it's way more difficult to bring the gun into action when pointed upward then downward.
When doing building searches keep the gun muzzle about 20 cm low so you have full vision but keep the butt against your shoulder.
If you spot an adversary you just have to lift the gun and put your finger on the trigger to get a clean lineup of your sights and fire.
Don't mess with the safety, the safety goes off when you leave the vehicle or you start the search. Keep your finger off the trigger. Put the safety back on when the action is over and all threaths are neutralised.
Don't lean against walls, nor scrape the walls when conducting searches. Bullets tend to follow walls and you make a lot of noice when you scrape the wal.
Adjust the sling so the weapon sits against your shoulder and the sling is just long enough to move your gun to the ready position. If your main gun would fail under fire you can just drop the main gun (it will fall in front and across your chest due to the sling) and go for your pistol. Don't try to fix a malfunction while under fire, if you have a backup gun
Keep the weapon straight in line with your body, move your upper body to scan the area with the weapon. When you see a Target and wan't to neutralise it, shoot a few rounds center mass and only lower the sight just enough so you can look over the sight to the target. When you see any movement you go for a headshot due to possible use of bodyarmour.
Don't stand up straight, crouch a little to be more stabile, and always look where your muzzle is pointing.
NEVER point your weapon at your buddy.
When you are in a stairwell try not to pile up in a bunch. You have 3 different positions you should cover while beeing in that picture. And you form a beautifull target in that picture.
Stay away from open doors, never stand still in an open door, either go in, or cover the door from the side.
Always know where your buddy's are and where they are looking at. Practice the same position in the drill. Front man scans forward, second, third, fourth... man scan sideways, last man covers the back.
If you do a 6 man drill the second man can keep his weapon low and also toward the front.
Room clearing: #1 breaches door (ram, shotgun) , #2 goes in and left to the corner, #3 goes right and to the corner, # 4 goes left, #5 goes right, # 6 gets away from the door and covers the rear. When room is clear #1 enters the cleared room and breaches the next door. Always have the same place, know where YOU should go and what area to cover.
Use paintball guns instead of Airsoft, the painfull hit of a paintball gun will be more usefull in learning from your faults.
Airsoft guns look cool but they are way too difficult to identify from a real weapon, so when the local cops or soldiers show up they might not ask a question when they see you but they might neutralize you!
Paintball guns have a distinct look and are not confused with a real gun.
train like you fight, fight like you train
good luck
ps knives are cutting tools, keep them as sharp as possible as long as possible, you might need them later cutting free hostages or buddy's, so don't abuse your knife unless really needed.

Thank you Mongo-man for this "tutorial".
I've printed it, and sure will use it with my buddies.
The first photo in this thread was posed. During training we don't have time for photos. But still we should handle our equipment safe.
As for the knife, Trident O-1 is my hard use tool (prying, choping, breaking windows), for cutting I have a folder (Strider AR).
