Left Kote (protector of left hand) is big and right Kote is small like cloth globe to grasp gunsword easily. Left Chest additional protector (protect left chest and left shoulder additionally).
Jukendo started in Meiji age because government soldiers had no time to load a gun with a next bullet when sword men charged and attacked government soldiers in Japanese civil war. Therefore Jukendo's gunsword length is same as the length of gun imported from United States after finished "CIVIL WAR".

銃剣道最高ー！
scout rifle, maybe a mosin nagant
Now if Kendokas wore this type of bogu along with Naginata suneate it would make for a more interesting training.
Just a thought, but I can't help but think that the use of decommissioned AR-15s would be better in modern days.
