What about shotguns? I've seen examples of shotguns with bayonets (sometimes
referred to as Trench Guns) used in W.W.I. Also I have own a Mossberg 500
with a bayonet attached... the perfect home defense weapon. :)

As for the Winchester (and lever-actions in general), they don't usually
hold up too well to the kind of stresses involved in hand-to-hand combat.
