Would
you like to see our website updated more

I
recently read a story about some
guy who begged for money on his
website and he made enough to buy
a computer.. well big deal, computers
we have. It's time we need.
If
each visitor of our website gave
us a dollar we'd have enough to
quit our jobs for a year and build
the AK47 sites full time. So it
can't hurt to ask.
Please
donate a dollar or two, we can
guarantee, if this works and
we make any substantial income
this way we will funnel most
if not all of this money back
into the website and making it
an even better resource.
No need to offer
more than a few
dollars, we are looking for quantity
here. Thanks and stay tuned for
updates

A
bayonet is a knife- or dagger-shaped weapon designed
to fit on or over the muzzle of a rifle or similar weapon.
It is a close combat weapon.
Its
evolution can be traced to a certain extent to
a fortuitous accident. In the mid-17th century
irregular conflicts of rural France, the peasants
of the Southern French town of Bayonne, having
run out of powder and shot, rammed their long-bladed
hunting knives into the muzzles of their primitive
muskets to fashion impromptu spears, and by necessity
created an ancillary weapon that was to influence
Western European infantry tactics until the early
20th century.
The
benefit of such a dual-purpose arm contained in
one was soon apparent. The early muskets fired
at a slow rate (about a round per minute when loading
with loose powder and ball), and were unreliable.
Bayonets provided a useful addition to the weapon-system
when an enemy charging to contact could cross the
musket's killing ground (a range of approx 100
yards/metres at the most optimistic) at the expense
of perhaps only one volley from their waiting opponents.
A foot long bayonet (extending to a regulation
17 inches (approx 43 centimetres) during the Napoleonic
period, on a 6 foot (almost 2 meter) tall musket
achieved a reach similar to the infantry spear,
and later halberd, of earlier times.
