  • 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.

Henderson's initiatives are placed within the framework of the several fundamental changes that the U.S. Navy was undergoing as it worked to experiment with, acquire, and incorporate new naval technologies into its own operational concept.

  • Rules and Options
    Rules and Options The author has attempted to draw as much as possible from the guidelines provided in the 5th edition Players Handbooks and Dungeon Master's Guide. Statistics for weapons listed in the Dungeon Master's Guide were used to develop the damage scales used in this book. Interestingly, these scales correspond fairly well with the values listed in the d20 Modern books. Game masters should feel free to modify any of the statistics or optional rules in this book as necessary. It is important to remember that Dungeons and Dragons abstracts combat to a degree, and does so more than many other game systems, in the name of playability. For this reason, the subtle differences that exist between many firearms will often drop below what might be called a "horizon of granularity." In D&D, for example, two pistols that real world shooters could spend hours discussing, debating how a few extra ounces of weight or different barrel lengths might affect accuracy, or how different kinds of ammunition (soft-nosed, armor-piercing, etc.) might affect damage, may be, in game terms, almost identical. This is neither good nor bad; it is just the way Dungeons and Dragons handles such things. Who can use firearms? Firearms are assumed to be martial ranged weapons. Characters from worlds where firearms are common and who can use martial ranged weapons will be proficient in them. Anyone else will have to train to gain proficiency— the specifics are left to individual game masters. Optionally, the game master may also allow characters with individual weapon proficiencies to trade one proficiency for an equivalent one at the time of character creation (e.g., monks can trade shortswords for one specific martial melee weapon like a war scythe, rogues can trade hand crossbows for one kind of firearm like a Glock 17 pistol, etc.).

(CPL 3.3i) OUTLINE 1. GENERAL RULES AND NOMENCLATURE OF THE NCO SWORD: a. History of the Sword: After the Barbary Pirates War, Marine officers started carrying the Mameluke Sword. In 1858, the Marine Corps discontinued the Mameluke sword and adopted the 1858 Cavalry Sword. However, this was not a popular decision and during the Civil War, officers reverted back to the Mameluke Sword. For centuries, the sword has been a symbol of leadership and authority. But it had always been an officer’s weapon. When the Commandant gave the Mameluke Sword back to the officers, he decided to present the 1858 Cavalry Sword 0103H-1 (to become known as the NCO Sword) to Marine NCO’s in recognition of the part they play in leading Marines in combat.

  • Why Collect Bayonets? Part I
    Collecting and Shooting the Military Surplus Rifle (2006) -Surplusrifle.com Page 1 of 4 Please make certain to visit our new Showcase of Sponsors! More! Article by Ralph Cobb Adobe PDF Downloadable Version of Article Why collect bayonets? Because it's a great way to add depth to your rifle collecting activities! Bayonets have their own rich history often separate and apart from the rifles they mount to and the search for bayonets sometimes leads to places a rifle collector wouldn't normally go. In this first article I will discuss how the bayonet came to be, different types of bayonets, how to get started collecting bayonets, and where to look for bayonets. My foray into bayonet collecting began innocently enough in 1998 with the desire to acquire a few bayonets to go with the rifles in my collection. As is so often is the case with collectors, one thing lead to another and bayonets soon took on a life of their own to become a collection in their own right. Bayonet bay·o·net noun: A blade adapted to fit the muzzle end of a rifle and used as a weapon in close combat. Word History: It is not unusual for a word to come from a place name. Cheddar, from the name of a village in southwest England; hamburger, after Hamburg, Germany; and mayonnaise, possibly from Mahón, the http://www.surplusrifle.com/shooting2006/bayonets1/index.asp 3/23/2006 Collecting and Shooting the Military Surplus Rifle (2006) -Surplusrifle.com Page 2 of 4 capital of Minorca, are often found together on our tables.

Remaining in use with second- ary units until 1916/1917, three bayonet types were provided for the rifle during its official service life: a quadrilateral cross-sectioned socket form, followed by a yataghan-style sword bayonet, and finally a shortened and straightened version of this same yataghan bayonet. As such these three bayonets provide a classic illustration of bayonet typology for the period.
