Bayonets were weapon attachments that could be fit onto the muzzle of muskets and rifles, often as sharp spikes or knives.
During the American Revolutionary War, bayonets were utilized by soldiers from both the 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 the riders or the horses, before they reached the otherwise vulnerable infantry. They were also utilized in close-quarters combat, when shooting would have been insufficient.
The Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton was able to take rifles with bayonets from musket racks, or from disarming soldiers, in order to slash or impale nearby enemies. While a bayonet was embedded in a soldier's torso, Connor was able to fire the musket itself, and efficiently eliminate two opponents in quick succession.
Trivia
- Unlike in Assassin's Creed III, bayonets used in the American Revolutionary War were not used to slash at opponents in close combat, but mainly to be twisted while impaling.
