To kill. Yes, originally once a musket was fired the Bayonet was plugged into the end of the barrel, the muzzle, converting it into a spear or pike. When the musket became reloadable the bayonet was altered so that it fitted around the barrel on a lug and allowed the weapon to be refired with the bayonet attached.
