Bayonet Origin Linked to Bayonne France
The Bayonet name derives from Bayonne where first manufactured. A Basque regiment in the Pyrenees ran out of ammunition and fixed long knives to muskets to charge. The tactic secured victory, spurring bayonet production at Bayonne and adoption across Europe. England soon shifted from pikes to bayonets.
