That pic doesn't look right.

Why would a bayonet be attached to the end of the barrel?

The Brits use the SA 80. I couldn't find a pic with a bayonet.

His rifle is wearing a raincoat.

He’s got a fitted rain-cover on it - the bayonet fits just like the pig-sticker on an M16.

Cosmetics

They want to show off their newest weapon in the parade but for cosmetic reasons they want the end of the weapon to rise above the head of the soldier carrying the weapon.
