Best Answer

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.
