International Military Cartridge Rifles and Bayonets
INTERNATIONAL MILITARY CARTRIDGE RIFLES AND BAYONETS The following table lists the most common international military rifles, their chambering, along with the most common bayonet types used with each. This list is not exhaustive, but is intended as a quick reference that covers the types most commonly encountered by today’s collectors. A Note Regarding Nomenclature: The blade configuration is listed, in parentheses, following the type. There is no precise dividing line between what blade length constitutes a knife bayonet vs. a sword bayonet. Blades 10-inches or shorter are typically considered knife bayonets. Blades over 12-inches are typically considered sword bayonets. Within the 10-12 inch range, terms are not consistently applied. For purposes of this chart, I have designated any blade over 12 inches as a sword bayonet.

Infantry Weapons of Latvian Soldiers During the Latvian War of Independence, 1918-1920
INFANTRY WEAPONS OF LATVIAN SOLDIERS DURING THE LATVIAN WAR OF INDEPENDENCE, 1918-1920 1st part. Rifles and carbines in the Latvian War of Independence. The middle of the 19th century was marked by one of the most important events in the evolution of firearms. A cartridge was made, which allowed the gun barrel to be loaded from the breechloader. In the following decades chemists created smokeless gunpowder. Both of these inventions created a foundation for all modern firearm systems. The battles of the Latvian War of Independence were a direct continuation of the First World War in this territory. This is why German, Russian and Latvian soldiers used the same weapons, that had been previously used by the belligerents on the battlefront. During the battles of the Latvian War of Independence, the main weapon of the infantry was either a rifle or a carbine. However, in terms of force, many other weapons surpassed these aforementioned guns. The power of individual weapons was increased by support weapons. These included machine guns, grenade launchers and mine-throwers. The military equipment was supplemented by hand grenades and cold weapons – bayonets or swords. In the course of the Latvian War of Independence, Latvian soldiers acquired equipment in any possible way. The equipment was bought from the British, French, Americans, and their enemies – the Germans. The weapons were also acquired as an aid from the Russian Anti-Bolshevik military units. At the same time, weapons were taken from the soldiers of the red army. After the merging of both Latvian brigades and the founding of Latvian army, the aid from the Allies was steadily increasing, reaching the highest point during the Bermondt offensive. -
