Connor holding a musket with an attached bayonet

Bayonets were weapon attachments that could be fit onto the muzzle of muskets and rifles, often as sharp spikes or knives.

During the Louisiana Rebellion and American Revolutionary War, bayonets were utilized by soldiers from the French, Spanish, British and Continental armies, though generally as last-resort ancillary weapons.

In most cases, bayonets were attached in preparation to receive a cavalry charge, as the crude spear they formed was effective at staking horsemen, before they reached the otherwise vulnerable infantry. They were also utilized in close-quarters combat, when shooting would have been insufficient.

The Assassins Aveline de Grandpré[1] and Ratonhnhaké:ton, as well as the Templar Haytham Kenway and pirate Edward Kenway were able to disarm soldiers for their muskets, while the latter three could also grab them from nearby racks, in order to slash or impale nearby enemies. While a bayonet was embedded in a soldier's torso, Ratonhnhaké:ton, Haytham, and Edward could also aim and fire the musket itself, efficiently eliminating two opponents in quick succession.[2][3]
