Perhaps no piece of equipment is so anachronistic on the battlefield as the bayonet. Mention fixing bayonets and you think of Gettysburg and the battle of Little Round Top, with Joshua Chamberlin and the 20th Maine executing a right hand wheel formation… well, OK, that is what I think of, anyway.Bayonets are seldom used anymore in actual conflict, with war being a much more hands off sort of business these days. The Marines, however, are always a very hands on group, so I was tickled to see their latest version of the bayonet.
