This article, Bayonet, is property of Cod1. |
A Bayonet (from French Baïonnette) is a bladed melee weapon such as a knife or short sword, or spike-shaped weapon designed to fit in, on, over or underneath the muzzle of a rifle, musket or similar weapon, turning it into a makeshift spear. Knife-shaped bayonets—when not fixed to a gun barrel—have long been utilised by soldiers in the field as general purpose cutting implements. In contemporary combat it is mostly used as a last-resort weapon if one runs out of ammunition or there firearm jams or breaks.
Bayonets can be effective in combat for this psychological reason: Having a bunch of guys running at you with improvised spears and screaming for blood can be scary! Especially if it is unexpected like the 2004 British bayonet charge in Iraq.
