Bayonets are edged weapons, like knives, which can be affixed to rifles or similar firearms. They were invented in the 17th Century as a replacement for pikes (spearlike weapons) and probably owe their name to the city of Bayonne, France.

Bayonets - 'fix bayonets' is the order given for soldiers to mount their bayonets on the ends of their rifles.
Soldiers used bayonets attached to a rifle or musket as a spear. When the bayonet was not affixed to the gun, the soldiers used the bayonets as a general purpose cutting tool.
They were called bayonets. Bayonets were not limited to muskets, they were used on firearms well after the development of rifles. Early bayonets were placed inside the barrel of the musket, restricting the ability to shoot, but this soon was fixed and the bayonets were attached just below the barrel.
Both sides used bayonets the Allies and the Central Powers.
Bayonets are not specifically banned in all countries, but their use may be subject to restrictions. It's important to check local laws and regulations regarding the possession and use of bayonets to ensure compliance.
