17th Century -
How did the 15 inch sized bayonets of the 17th century evolve by the 21st Century into a combat gadget the size of a pocket knife, that is still in widespread use today with armies across the world?

Guardsman: "I already did!"

Don't fix it if it "ain't broke"
I like the Imperial Guardsman/Astra Militarum. But the strengh of a common Guardsman armed with fixed bayonet lasgun won't be effective enough in CQB against thick skinned flesh and carapaced enemies such as the Orks and Tyranids or durable metallic Necrons on one on one. When you faced these enemies with the bayonet, the only method to strike them effectively is to thrust it on their most vulnerable and softest weak points.
@@justin_isaac_rada44 true but as a reminder most of the battles in M41 are probably still fought primarily by humans on both sides or xenos with similar physiology like tau, genestealers or some of the lesser known ones
F o r k
How bayonets work Buba you can only have one affixed to your rifle or just a different attachment for example if you have an m203 you cannot fix a bayonet however if you have a bipod on your M4 you can still do that and you cannot fix a bayonet to a light machine gun and Chainsaw bayonets are not real don't believe Gears of War
Directions on a bayonet:
1. Stick them with the pointy end
2. Repeat
or
1. Club them with the blunt end
2. repeat
Or
1. shoot them
2. Repeat
or
1. Get sticked with the pointy end
2. Try not to repeat
@@noviceleader8745 Trust me, you won't repeat it 💀
It is actually not so easy to kill an enemy with one strike AND quickly get your blade out so you have a weapon to go on
"Then will you teach us about pointed sticks?"

why do people spell Sergeant like Sargent?

The bayonet is like a spiritual successor of the spear, the most popular weapon in ancient history. Long pointy stick to long shooty pointy stick.
Guns with bayonets are the spiritual successors of rocks and sticks
Sharp stab stick and fast thrown rock
"Guardsmen, affix bayonets!"
For the Imperium! The Emperor protects!
Unless you're Krieger Guardsmen, then it would be "Affix entrenching tools!"

So, thanks to the invention of the bayonet, you could now have a rifle, a sword, a spear all and a tool all in one. Sounds pretty cool.
Fun Fact: The last time a bayonet charge was executed was in 2004 by british troops in Iraq.
Interesting video! I can't really envision a situation now when the bayonet would be overly useful outside of being a multi tool due to automatic weapons but the fact they still have them shows there must be a use
In 2004, British soldiers of the Argyll and Sutherland highlanders did a bayonet charge against Iraqi positions, they suffered some wounded but no killed, and eliminated many of the enemy.
@@Tom-2142 Turns out a bunch of Scotsmen charging at you with sharp pointy things is terrifying on a very visceral level that automatic gunfire often isn't.

Soldier: Is 5 meters from the enemy
His Bayonet: Falls
Soldier: *Chuckles, i'm in danger.
The triangular shape wasn’t to make it more lethal, but rather, so that it wouldn’t bend when running into a target like how a flat bayonet would

Simple history has made a redemption with this Wholesome content
This video is really cool! You should make a video on The Battle of Acton with MinuteMen Captain. Isaac Davis and his attack on the oncoming British forces! Bayonets played a crucial part of that battle! Captain Davis was also a gunsmith who insisted his troops to be trained with fixed bayonets in a firing range that Captain Davis constructed himself on his own farmland!
Squad leader: "Fix bayonet! Use them if you have too"
Bushes: "Banzaaaaiiii"
I guess I have to use it
Fun fact: Simple History hasn’t made a 20th century war video this month
Well that's actually good as I am always waiting for him to create more videos about 18th/19th century.
Good. WWII is oversaturated sometimes.
Field Marshal Ik but they can upload ww1, the Vietnam war, Korean War, and other country conflicts in the 20th century.
Laughs in British same I want them to upload more American Civil War videos because those are interesting to me
"Okay here me out, gun sword"
In reality, it was very rare for soldiers to kill with the bayonet. Most bayonet charges were decided before any actual melee combat took place, due to psychological barriers that make it extremely hard to plunge one into another human being. when melee combat did occur, most soldiers instead flipped their weapons around and used the butt of the musket/rifle as a club, or slashed at opponents with other bladed weapons. For a deeper dive on this, I recommend the book "On Killing," by LTC Dave Grossman.
How to use the socket bayonet:
1. Take your socket bayonet from your backpack.
2. After taking from your backpack, twist its shut onto the socket at your muzzle musket.
3. And then point your musket towards the enemy.
4. Then you do it RUSH B!!!!!
Weapons of war;
Dagger -> Sword
Sword -> Spear
Spear -> Musket
Musket + Dagger = Bayonet
My old man has a Spanish 1916 Short Rifle Mauser with a Weyersburg und Kirschbaum yatagan sword bayonet. That bayonet, wow, yeah I'd engage in some gentlemanly antics
When you dont know what to say because your early
ikr
tacticians: how much pikemen vs musketmen ratio?
bayonnet: YES
The use of the pike was dropped before the bayonet appeared
Imagine getting nervous when your commander tells you to "fix bayonets" but he meant to actually fix your bayonets.
You should do the Cannons from the Civil War and the Revolutionary War
"Fix bayonets...
...but don't stop the artillery"
I’m downloading battle field one again just for the nostalgic yell of the bayonet charge
The two most dredded words any infantryman can hear in the midst of battle is
"FIX BAYONETS"!!!!
Thats how you put a choppa on a shoota
“Triangle bayonet is more difficult to heal from and was deadlier because of it”
No, the shape was designed to keep it from bending or breaking as easily as a traditional knife style does at such a length.
There are plenty of records, even from the American Civil War, that one could survive being punctured by those triangle types and especially stitching them up, so long as a vital organ was avoided.
Simple History you guys are the best !!!
Rifle fencing sounds awesome
hands down the most terrifying weapon ever invented in history. the bayonet
1:20 FIX BAYONETS!!!
Soldier: Sir, they are dug in deep
Commander: we need to put fear in them.
Soldier: how?
Commander: *takes deep breath, leans back* BAYONETS!!!!!!!
Bayonets are also used on non-combat stuffs like cooking, opening stuffs etc.
“FIX BAYONETS GUARDSMEN.
BE READY FOR BLOOD”
Shout out to all the M&B Napoleonic Wars riflemen players that were stuck clubbing people with their rifle instead of stabbing with a bayonet !
"Medic!! he's being stabbed buy a rifle!!!
"He WHAT?!!"
from smol sharp stabby rocks to long pointy metal sticks
One of the first commanders to really see the usefulness of the socket bayonet was John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, who was one of the greatest generals England/Great Britain produced. Under his command in the War of Spanish Succession, the British Army were great early adopters of the weapon, and great innovators of it's tactical uses in open battles. Churchill was also a strong advocate of field battles between armies rather than the fortress and fortified city sieges that had dominated the preceding era of Pike and Shot warfare.
Ah the Socket Bayonet. The Military Tech upgrade in Empire Total War that was the difference between getting annihilated by Cavalry or annihilating all cavalry. It also was the difference between winning and losing infantry engagements. To all who played this game, Prussia and Sweden for life.
Once again simple history doesn’t disappoint me
"they don't like it up 'em Mr Mannering"
In Fallujah 2004, US Marines conducted house to house fighting with fixed bayonets.
Just came from a video about the Triangular shape of early Bayonets. The shape dint make it more deadly it just was more stronger design so it dosent bend as easily when stabbing someone.
A family friend gave me a bayonet the other day, did some research it's a German 1916 model from the city of Solingen "City of Blades
Actually in the Jacobite Wars, the Hanoverian forces were decimated by charging Highlanders with swords, dirks, and targe shields as they had to fix their bayonets (which plugged the barrel) as the Highlanders were charging. But by the time as they were starting to be fixed, the Highlanders were already upon them and decimated them. However at Culloden, the British had the new socket bayonets already fixed to their rifles. They fired volleys and after the Highland charge, they didn't have to stop firing to fix bayonets-they just kept firing. The Highlanders were broken and routed. Disappointed that wasn't mentioned.
Someone had to have loaded the musket to fire the plug bayonet at someone.
You forgot to mention the addition of a bottle opener, so you can enjoy a refreshing Cold One in the middle of WW3.
A good soldier has the ability to fire 3 rounds a minute!
Now thats soldiering!!
Keep it up with great history!
So we're just gonna ignore the fact that the fella in the kilt felled a horse and it's rider like as if he swatted a house fly?😹
I thought that triangle bayonet wounds thing was a myth, like I thought the shape was for strength
You are correct, sir.
Just add a sock to your weapon and you have a socket bayonet
I always thought a the shape and sizes thought mattered in history and this simple history made my day :3
hey simple historie , would it be possible to make a video about the belgian army in world war 1?
it is the only army from ww1 that you have not yet created.
You forgot to mention the socket bayonet also solved the problem of being able to keep the bayonet fixed while reloading and firing your rifle or musket
This may be a dumb question, but I presume the plug bayonet was replaced by with the offset socket bayonet so that the weapon (a flintlock musket or rifle) could still be fired when the bayonet was fixed. However, I wonder was it possible to load the weapon when the bayonet was fixed. Would the bayonet blade not get in the way when one was trying to ram the ball down the barrel with the ramrod?
I have 2 bayonets
One for camping, and one for self-defence
End of ww1 Europe: hopefully another war like this one never happens again Germany: WE’RE DOING A SEQUEL
Which battle involved the bigest bayonet fight ever ?? Any ideas?? Maybe waterloo or Buena vista, even Saipan maybe
This remembers me when i played battlefield 1 .
Several people in history literally fired a single shot- probably missed, then got to watch in absolute horror as a horde of people charged them with these medieval torture devices duct-taped to the end of a musket before watching themselves getting skewered like a potato.
Me: my phone is dead. my mom: plug it in to the socket... bayonet
Essential research project in Empire Total War, ah the memories.
Hey dude look at my new gun! Puts a sword on it. Now we’re talking

That's long sharp bayonet!
(Hits blunt)
But what if we made a *K N I F L E*
They should do a episode on the Edmund Fitzgerald
It’s weird that this didn’t mention that the weapon that the musket was taking over from was the spear. It’s also more likely that crude bayonets were fashioned out of knives or spearheads tied to end of the barrel. The first standardized military issue bayonets may have been first made in France, but the concept of a bayonet existed from the first moment that an enemy got close to a musketeer while they were reloading.
What if you don’t fire your musket and save a shot? That way when you bayonet charge you’re left with a shot that you point blank into someone. Then you can get the dude behind him.
The triangular bayonet isn't really any more deadly than a flat blade. They were made triangular for strength.
geez, that announcer dude at the end blew my eardrums...
In the early days of muskets you would actually have pikemen at the front of the musketeers to protect them against charges and cavalry. The bayonet was intended to allow one man to serve both roles effectively doubling his combat effectiveness. Instead of having 50 musketeers and 50 pikemen, you could effectively have 100 musketeers and 100 pikes since the 2 weapons would not really be needed simultaneously. The Swedes were the first to use massed musketeers equipped with socket bayonets and this made them a force to be reckoned with. Every other European army adopted these tactics with the British probably being the most effective at it.
You can do a film about how tank turret work
