A bayonet (from French "baïonnette") is a knife- or dagger-shaped weapon designed to fit on or over the muzzle of a rifle or similar weapon. It is a close combat weapon. The evolution of the german bayonet can be traced to a certain extent to a fortuitous accident. The german bayonet had a round handle that fit directly into the musket barrel. This naturally prevented the gun from being fired. Many socket bayonets were triangular in cross-section in order to provide sideways stability of the blade without much increase in weight. This design of bayonet did not include a handle to use the blade apart from the gun. Bayonets are the pointed instruments of the dagger kind fitted on the muzzle of a musket or rifle, so as to give the soldier increased means of offense and defense. It is generally a blade adapted to fit the muzzle end of a rifle and used as a weapon in close combat. Originally, the bayonet was made with a handle that required to be fitted into the bore of the musket after the soldier had fired.The German bayonets were considerably used during both World War I & II.The bayonets are available in a number of variations, the basic model comprising of: wood grips, held on by two flush screwnut sets; short crossguard, no muzzle-ring; steel pommel with push-buttoninternal-spring latch arrangement. The blades of the bayonet are single-edged, single-fullered (both sides), saw on back-edge and the ricasso is usually marked with the manufacturer's trademark. The scabbards are either of sheet-rolled steel, blued, with ball-finial or occasionally made of steel mounts on black leather
