This video explores the bayonet development for the US Krag rifle, focusing on the adoption of a Swiss M1889 pattern knife bayonet. It details the subsequent, unsuccessful attempt to create a Bowie knife-style bayonet that also served as an entrenching tool in 1900. The video then discusses Captain Hugh Long's bolo bayonet concept, designed for jungle warfare in the Philippines and tested in limited numbers. The Krag's bayonet development was cut short by the introduction of the 1903 Springfield rifle.
