Make the Knife the same style as the dart from xkm5.

30 dmg hit, rest over time. Then its not called poison..its bleeding as Coach Gun.

What can be more special than a flying bayonet?

Anyways instant kill charged melee is not unique to AK, many weps do that - A73, mrs, coach, deermaster, and it's not very easy. I assume you got killed by it multiple times, so my suggestion would be - try it yourself first. For every successful kill I made with AK melee I died 3-4 times trying to reach the opponent. When I want to have some fun and stick to melee I usually lose score. Except for some claustrophobic maps like Serenissima maybe. And I didn't see anyone else abusing it.

"Try it before you knock it" is good advice for a lot of people.

Tried it and like it, can't really hit shit with the secondary which is why I initially argued that it's fine. The melee is one hell of a panic button, however.

It doesn't instant kill in panic, you have to charge it.

Doesn't feel like you have to charge it for very long. I use it as a last resort when my magazine's empty anyway so the opponent is usually weakened. I say usually, I don't know if I've ever missed an entire magazine.

Doesn't work like this as far as I can tell, melee attacks are usually successful when they are planned. As if you jump into a battle and start shooting but you know exactly that you will use a burst or 2 to distract an opponent and get closer to stab him. Random clicking when I'm out of ammo usually results in me being dead :)

I see VERY little use of the knife as a bayonet, it's almost always launched from ambush as a prelude to a couple bullets. This is probably partially coloredby low LAN latency making projectile shots more reliable.

I've seen this a lot in recent days, close range you get a knife shot at you, 2 shots later that's it. Your'e dead.
Does seem a tad powerful, I liked the idea of having it go off if you keep it active to stop ppl having it *always ready*
