bayonet
A bayonet is a blade that can be attached to the muzzle of a firearm, typically a rifle. It is designed for close combat, allowing soldiers to use their guns as spears when ammunition runs low or in hand-to-hand fighting situations. Bayonets have been used in various military conflicts throughout history.
Originally developed in the 17th century, bayonets were crucial in battles before the advent of modern warfare. They come in various designs, including the socket bayonet and the blade bayonet. While less common today, bayonets are still used by some military forces around the world.
