The Bayonet

The bayonet was one of the most dangerous and deadly weapon of the american revolution. The bayonet wasn't sharp so it would tear more flesh than actually cut through, thus making it more deadly. It was also a great choice for bad weather, muskets would not work very well in the rain because the rain would get inside the gun and wet the gunpowder inside the barrel and it wouldn't fire at all, and bayonets didn't need gun powder so they often worked very well. Even when rusty, the bayonet worked EVEN BETTER! because when there was rust there was a higher chance that they could get an infection. Bayonets were also great for roasting meat over a fire and tent stakes. As you can see bayonets were EXTREMELY useful in the american revolution.
