Best Answer

A bayonet wound occures usually when an opposing combatant attaches a bayonet to his firearm and stabs you with it... a bayonet is a knife like device that can be attached to the barrel end of a fire arm (usually a rifle) so the rifle can be used like a spear.


Bayonet wounds could be fatal or they could be a simple cut or a narrow penetrating wound. The British invented a bayonet with 4 blades that was shaped like a "+". This was intended to inflict a flesh wound that would have a corner cut. This type of cut is more difficult to sew-up and heal.
