Bayonet
From Gunpedia
A bayonet, is a gun attachment used in many types of rifles, that is usually fitted at the bottom of the tip of the barrel of the gun, or over the muzzle of a gun. They came about during the days of muskets and horses when large numbers of pike men where needed to keep enemy ranks at bay, vuse adapting the pike to the rifle meant having less men on the field of battle. They were used extensively during the American Civil War, as well as by certain countries such as France and Britain during World War I. After the invention of the self-loader the popularity of the bayonet has massively decreased but many military guns still include the lugs required to attach them. This article is a stub.
