Yes, many examples of the 16" bayonet were used through WW2. For example, in the ETO, they were thought useful for probing for mines due to the longer length. Plenty of photos of a 16" bayonet on an M1 in the PTO. But overall, anybody that has tried to sit down with that 16" bayonet on their ammo belt probably appreciated the 10" long ones
