It's depicted in a correct way, the artist just made a stupid mistake placing the blade almost behind the muzzle brake. This way you wouldn't ever stab deep enough.

The bayonet in the link has its blade facing downwards, as it should be. Japanese illustrations aren't known for their realism, nor logic for that matter.

Look at the shape of the blade, the back is clearly facing downward, the cutting edge is on the top. This IS for gutting an enemy. If you don't know what your talking about, then don't open your mouth.
Many different changes have been made to the use of bayonets. Some were spikes for some time, witch were easy to make, but limited to stabbing. Blades facing downward allow you to swing and slash, but this is only effective on a long rifle to act like a spear, or glaive. On a modern assault riffle that is less effective as a spear shaft, most if not all bayonet lugs are designed to place the bayonet facing upwards, because up close the best way is to go for center mass and lift up, instead of going down and leaving you relatively open.
If you knew anything about combat other than from movies and games, you wouldn't have made yourself look like an ass. Also, if you knew anything about the shape of blades, you would know that the blade was in-fact facing cutting edge up, but you are clearly not even capable of that much. Hopefully, you see this and you learn something from it.

sadly you should re-check the picture and you will notice the blade is facing upwards. Posters aren't known for logic(?)
