Just a quick story to share, your video taught me something totally unexpected. I have been shooting a reproduction 1861 Springfield Rifle Musket for about 15 years now. I always owned a socket bayonet for it, but never realized that there is a metal piece that turns after you attach the bayonet. When I saw the short clip at 2:13, my jaw dropped and I have to admit I was stunned that I had never been using it properly. Thank you for opening my mind and as always great work on the video.

Interesting that you referred to Easton and his channel. I attended his Fight Camp the other year and lots of fun (my other hobby - historical fencing [saber, rapier]). I got a basic impression of French cavalry training (Napoleonic) with the saber in Hamburg last year during one of the seminars at the International Saber Symposium. Sort of the mirror image of a couple of things that you present here (parries and attacks against bayonets and pikes) and found it was really fascinating. If we ever meet up, perhaps a bout or two?

In some circumstances things happened with everyone close together, like in the pictures of Rorkes Drift and the Sudan... or when you found yourself somewhat separated, perhaps during the final phases of Islandlwana or while fighting through a village or some such... regardless, the "drill" aspect was certainly not applicable as this was just to teach the movements, and things certainly looked much more like the bit at the end...

Sad to say, you are correct, so I'll get my my excuses in early! The modern day Stirling Castle does indeed better match this photo than the modern day Edinburgh Castle. I had based my incorrect identification upon the configuration of the buildings behind the gate, the house to the right of the photo and the Robert The Bruce statue, also on the right. There has been a great deal of alteration to the entrance area at Edinburgh Castle since this photo was taken. Less so at Stirling I fancy. A close examination of Google Streetview does however allow the Half Moon battery (to the left of the photo) at Edinburgh Castle to be identified beyond any doubt. That said, I still strongly recommend a visit to Stirling Castle should the opportunity present itself!

In defence of the No4 'Pigsticker' Rob, tests showed that it killed as easily as a blade and resisted bending and twisting without breakage; did not get stuck in bone and could cope with being rammed into hard ground through a prone opponent which also caused sticking, bending and breakage. Also cheaper and faster to make. It was unpopular so was replaced to improve the morale of users and, crucially, because it failed in the bayonet's key role which was to intimidate. Nothing inspires a rout better than a long shiny blade. They scared me enough when they were around me on a parade with no ill intent. A video without peer as usual. I have long run out of superlatives for your videos.

Bayonet Fighting is truly a dying art.

That's in direct relation to it's usefulness... in modern times, men are taught to "kill" with the bayonet, not necessarily "fight" with it... a subtle yet distinct difference...

I just want to say, if I was traveling and saw someone such as yourself, shadow fencing in full kit by yourself, all other items on my agenda would become secondary to stopping and learning more about what is going on.

Thank you, Rob! I had heard of HEMA before, but never gave it much thought. I did not know there was any part of it involving bayonets. Ill definitely be looking into it further.

I'm still putting off getting a bayonet for my MkII Martini. It's just the slender type socket.
