About this product
Product Information
In the last years of the 17th century the bayonet transformed the cumbersome musket into an effective close-quarter weapon and changed the face of infantry combat. The plug bayonet, essentially a short knife jammed into the musket's muzzle, was soon replaced by the socket bayonet, which allowed the soldier to fire his musket with the blade attached, and the musket/bayonet combination became the standard infantry weapon for nearly 150 years. As smoothbore muskets gave way to universally issued rifles in the years after 1850, many infantrymen employed sword-bayonets, their longer blades giving the 'reach' that contemporaries believed necessary to fend off cavalry attacks. The perfection of the small-bore magazine rifle in the 1890s saw the bayonet become smaller and more knife-like, a trend that continued throughout both world wars. When assault rifles predominated from the 1950s onwards, the bayonet became a weapon of last resort, its blade often combined with an item with some addition function, most notably a wire-cutter. Featuring full-colour artwork as well as archive and close-up photographs, this is the absorbing story of the complementary weapon to every soldier's firearm from the army of Louis XIV to modern-day forces in all global theatres of conflict.
