Rifle with bayonet thrown like a javelin

score:2

15-ish years ago I actually read a book about Korean War with an account of a battle where the Americans were hard-pressed and an American thew his... rifle? carbine? like a spear, actually killing a Chinese soldier. The book MAY have been the classic "This Kind of War" by Fehrenbach... but since I'm not sure, I don't think this answer merits any valuable upvotes. :)
