As far as all the grappling and ground fighting goes, I would think it'd be pretty hard to accomplish some of the moves from that video in full kit (just from a flexibility stand-point).
This was brought up on another thread, but I think the gun barrel would make an excellent jabbing weapon in a full kit fight. Possibly more effective than the butt of the gun (being plastic and all.) Bayonet, of course, would be better. Otherwise, anything that can hurt your opponent would be worth using.
I think it ultimately comes down to who comes up with the brutal answer first and whether they're willing to use it.
Most people have a natural aversion to up close and personal killing. Breaking bones, gouging sensitive places and otherwise permanently f-ing your opponent up doesn't necessarily come naturally. Whether or not you identify the opening and then have the stomach to follow it up could make all the difference.
Or you could wait until someone shows up with a gun.

I can sure vouch for the Korean war era entrenching tool! It make both a great blunt instrument and isn't to bad for splitting heads down to the nose area, if deployed with the stress brought on by close combat and a number of chinese trying to kill ya.
