I agree that these are not suitable for use as plug bayonets. It is surprising how pervasive this misconception is. One supposition about the brass inserts (albeit also unlikely) is that they might in some cases been able to rotate 90 degrees and limit the depth of penetration, as with the cross bar on some hunting swords and spears. However, I have never seen one where the insert could swivel.

That would be another myth, Marcus
