Bayonet Ya: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Gunslinger Girl]]'': Triela has one either attached to her Winchester 1897 Trench Gun or sheathed at her waist (with [[Badass Adorable|her size]] making it a virtual sword).

* Various [[Humongous Mecha|mobile suits]] from the ''[[Gundam]]'' metaseries use bayonets, sometimes solid and sometimes [[Energy Weapons|beam]], and occasionally removable to serve as an extra melee weapon. Some MS (such as the [[Zeta Gundam]]) can generate a beam blade from the barrel of their rifles, saving on space. A more unique example is the Gundam GP01 from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory]]'', which has a beam rifle with a "beam jitte", essentially just a small beam blade generator mounted beneath the barrel, allowing it to block enemy beam sabers without having to draw its own.

* Some systems allow you to fix bayonets as a standard action. This turns your gun/crossbow into a polearm, and often prohibits firing the weapon.

* In one ''[[Paranoia (game)|Paranoia]]'' mission, the experimental equipment from R&D includes a bayonet attachment for a cone rifle. This being ''Paranoia'', it breaks the rifle (which was designed to be used as, y'know, a ''rifle'', not withstand being banged around like a sword or club). It's also worth noting that despite the name, a cone rifle is actually closer to a bazooka in size.

** The silver bayonet (the "straight silver") is one of the symbols of the [[Gaunt's Ghosts|Tanith First]] Imperial Guard regiment.

 

* ''[[Gears of War]]'': the Lancer has a ''[[Chainsaw Good|chainsaw]]'' bayonet. The original has a blade, though, but they crammed the chainsaw in when they discovered that the Locust were [[Made of Iron]], and could just shrug off a regular bowie-knife bayonet.

** ''Gears of War 3'' features regular bayonets on the older Pendulum war era variant of the Lancer, the Retro Lancer. At first look, [[Gameplay and Story Segregation|the regular bayonet seems perfectly effective at killing Grubs,]] though that weakness of the bayonet may be considered to be represented by how the bayonet on the Retro Lancer cannot be used unless the player builds up enough momentum from charging for a few seconds - melee attacking with the Retro Lancer with have the player swing with the rifle's back end instead, and running into a target with the Retro Lancer charge's with insufficient momentum will be ineffective.

* An early version of ''[[Doom]]'' includes the rifle's bayonet as the melee weapon. This was later dropped in favor of fists/chainsaw.

* In the first-person areas of ''[[Banjo Tooie]],'' Kazooie can eventually learn the Beak Bayonet to perform an ammo-less melee attack. It's only ''used'' for one task, but it's useful in the first-person areas in general.

* Musketeers in ''[[Age of Empires III]]'' use bayonets as their melee attacks. It's fairly effective [[Anti-Cavalry|against cavalry]].

* Several weapons in ''[[Project Reality]]'' have the option to fix bayonets on them for close-quarters melee combat. The weapons even have convincing lunge/stab animations when used in this fashion.

* In ''Empire [[Total War]]'' bayonets are a technology that can be researched. First plug bayonets, which can be fixed but prevent firing the weapon, then ring and socket bayonets. Each increase the melee ability of line infantry substantially.
