| |
| '''Bayonets''' were weapon attachments that could be fit onto the muzzle of [[Firearms|muskets and rifles]], often as sharp spikes or knives.
| |
| | |
| During the [[American Revolutionary War]], bayonets were utilized by [[Guards|soldiers]] from both the [[British Army|British]] and [[Continental Army|Continental]] armies, though generally as last-resort {{Wiki|Ancillary weapon|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 [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Ratonhnhaké:ton|Connor]] was able to take muskets with bayonets from racks, or from disarming soldiers, in order to slash or impale nearby enemies. While a bayonet was embedded in a soldier's torso, Ratonhnhaké:ton could also fire the musket itself, and efficiently eliminate two opponents in quick succession.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Historically, bayonets were removed outside of melee combat.
