Of course, it might have been in some silly movie, or be an urban myth.
Depends on the bayonet, if you are using a WWI pigsticker (the 1-2 foot blade lenght) then you can get away with firing a round. If you're using an M-16 bayonet, good chance that the muzzle may be in direct contact with the body, not a good idea to fire a round if the muzzle is blocked!
