Yes, I have heard the stories, pretty standard stuff honestly.
I made this post mostly in jest of the wording used.
How would it make sense to anyone Russians would use melee weapons in placement of guns in any mind. Clearly they would be taken out at range.
For close quarter fighting, I suspect a shovel would be a decent choice.
Do you know what exact model of shovel used by US military as trench/sapper one? Can't find any info on that. And obviously, special forces have to have such tool for obvious reasons.
No, I took a quick pass and there seems to be no direct verified answer I could find easily.
