Can BAYONETS fight against KATANA?

I quickly skimmed through the comments section and didn't notice anyone mention anything about half sword techniques, but as you can see here, if you imagine his rifle was a European bastard sword, you can see that half-swording can be a very effective method of blocking and attacking in close quarters, and during the bind.

First... Rifles is not made to withstand battering... Second... If you lose your hands that hold the aim grip section... You're dead man... Unlike sword, they have hand protector that hindering sliding blades slicing hands. It's a losing fight from the start.... Just need to aim at the hands that holding aiming grip section if you had a chance or the othe part of the arms...

This makes me wonder how would longer rifle with bayonet do against swords. I'm not a gun expert but i imagine ww1 or ww2 rifle would have comparable weight with longer profile and they were issued with bayonet for trench warfare. You would have similar handling but with greater reach i think, which might nullify the sword's reach advantage

[@quintessenceSL]

The rifle (specifically the M1) is much, much heavier and the weight balance is more awkward the longer you get. Reach gives you first strike advantage but if you miss, you have 10lb coming at your face.

[@johncartwright8154]

In WW1 the rifle and bayonet were found to be unwieldy in the close combat of trench raids. Troops on both sides improvised brutal maces made with materials to hand such as grenade cases, wooden stakes wrapped with barbed wires or stuck with nails, sharpened trenching spades. The British bayonet was 55cm long on a 11ocm Lee Enfield. French bayonets were even longer! Jūkendō, bayonet fighting with a practice weapon similar to a shinai is experiencing a revival in Japan I believe.

[@kris4786]

Originally bayonet tactics were spear tactics because the old black powder rifles you can only fire once or twice before you engage in close combat. If you look at world war 1 and world war II bayonets they're really long over 16 inch blades some even look like short swords. In world war 1 and 2 this exact scenario was still happening infantry men with bayonets against officers with long swords or sabers. I know that the last recorded bayonet charge happened in Iraq with some Marines who were fighting defending a bridge and finally ran out of ammo and the order was given out to fix bayonets. Being Marines they followed orders charge the enemy yelling and screaming like the devil cuz they knew they're going to die and the enemy reportedly retreated. I know that the last time not commissioned officers or officers swords were used in combat with Vietnam and it's mostly because the US military at first either didn't have enough machetes or refuse to issue them because the military is stupid. So when those battles got into close combat Marines do with Marines do and they used every weapon available to include their NCO officer sword, smashing a man's grape with a helmet, using a shovel or tent stake. In fact there are many Marines who carry a modern short sword or hatchet or tomahawk in war zones to this day.

[@RangerOfTheOrder]

I love this. They're almost equally matched and this perfectly exposes the strengths and weaknesses of each. The bayonet is a close quarters weapon, and if he gets in close, where the katana can't swing the bayonet is almost guaranteed a hit. The katana is a long sword, and when he kept the bayonet at distance, the katana was able to take advantage of its reach.

[@tricorne.953]

Honestly depends with what kind of bayonet you use, modern bayonets issued by modern armies tend to be shorter, but old bayonets dating even back to ww1 tend to be more longer + the rifle's length. So back then, bayonets on your gun made it essentially a spear.

[@inventor121]

The bayonet is simply another type of spear, only instead of putting a pointy thing on a stick, you put a pointy thing on a BOOMstick.

It changed less based on the bayonet but more based on the rifle itself. Modern rifles are shorter and lighter which has its pros and cons. Modern rifles use a pistol grip which can be use to push the weapon with more force. An old bolt action wouldn’t have that so you use it more like a spear. Modern combat rifles have detachable 30 round magazines (on average) it would be used like a swords guard.

Will armor be a factor? How long is the rifle? Also, note something.

The kendo is seriously holding the sword fighter back I think. 1. Once he gets the headshot in, he does zero defence on the followup counter blows. 2. He is very preoccupied with fast headshots and only that. 3. As soon as the bayonet comes within close range, he loses control, with just random motions here and there. 4. No stop thrusts. No gun grabs. No cuts except from top. No leg shots. No down to up cuts. I think against someone wielding the full arsenal of sword combat a bayonet would have no chance. Specially against a swordsman this incredibly quick and so short a gun.

[@lostonearth7856]

Yeah, it was, the Idea mostly comes from the 17-18 century when men would line up in large formations where they would first open fire a couple of times before quickly closing distance to break up enemy formations. But from the 16th - early 20th century, it played more of a secondary and more vital role to stop the enemy Calvery charges as horses don't really like to charge into a wall of bayonets and would rather go around, allowing soldiers to shoot them. By ww1, bayonets took a back seat role to trench mace, which would then be replaced by shorter bayonets that could be used as knives which are more useful than the longer ones as knives could be used for a million things while a long bayonet is large a bulky.

My biggest gripe of this video is how the army guy was fighting against Kendo practitioner instead of a more dynamic Kenjutsu, with a common hand to hand combat practice. Kendo (yes its also a Kenjutsu) is more of a discipline practice & footworks instead of combat oriented practice. This same channel used to feature a video of Kendo fighting against Kenjutsu and the Kendo guy gets whacked almost 80% of the time. Kendo guy in this video mentioned how his defense was completely open when the bayonet guy gets personal, this wouldn't be the case if Kendo practice allows for wrestling, rifle & a bayonet is closer to a polearm, lots of other samurai sparring allows for one handed wielding of their own sword while manipulating their enemy weapon with their other arm, this would greatly impact the effectiveness of the soldier's bayonet rifle, much like a soldier with a spear, you can grab the non bladed part of the spear, while they would think twice to grab your all-bladed sword. its common knowledge that spear is terrible within personal range, and that is why Bayonet gets significantly shorter through the ages, to further increase its effectiveness at closer range, even average guns gets shorter due to same reason. (Also cuz bullets gets better) I'm not saying Kendo is a bad Martial art, I'm saying its not a good representation of how a soldier with a bayonet & a soldier with a sword would fight in close combat with this two contrasting martial art with different purpose.

[@ghost-jesus]

Bayonets historically got longer through the ages to increase reach even as barrels got shorter due to smokeless powder in order to keep the reach, they only got shorter once ammunition production got fast enough and high quality enough to support mass-issue of self-loading rifles, which made the bayonet more of a niche weapon.

People really need to make a scene in a movie where a soldier runs out of bullets and fights with nothing but wacking people with his rifle and stabbing with the bayonet

[@Eyejrbdysk]

People don’t realize an empty gun with a bayonet is just as scary as a claymore. The actual gun wouldn’t be sliced like butter and would be hard to cut completely through.

Автомат под натовский в рукопашном бою крошится так как ненадёжны пластиковые элементы, другое дело АКМ например гораздо лучше приспособлен для рукопашного боя.

What makes this interesting is the lopsided side difference: the kendoka is a head taller than the soldier, and as such has considerable advantage in certain aspects. How would these engagements go against a kendoka of the same height as the soldier?

You are good at parrying my sword but can you deflect this:

Parabéns pelo vídeo 👋👋👋👋👋 Treinei muitos anos Kendo e Iaido (4⁰ e 5⁰ Dan ) , depois passei a me dedicar só em estilos antigos (Shinto Ryu Shinken Batto Enmei Ryu, Ogasawara Kyujutsu e Yagyu Shinkage Ryu) cheguei ao Menkyo 2 anos atrás . treino atualmente no Gekikken por ser uma modalidade que permite mais diversificação de golpes reais e armas assim como uso de Jujutsu e Atemi nos combates diferente do Kendo e Iaido moderno . Ex militar , fui instrutor de tiro em cursos de formação de Agentes de Segurança e treinamento tático de equipe por 25 anos . No âmbito ocidental Esgrima Portuguesa e Espanhola . Restaurador (Togishi ) de espadas de arte Nihonto era hobby virou profissão kkkkk Atualmente aposentado da Área de Segurança Pública e Privada . 45 anos dedicados ao estudo , treinamento, história e filosofia das artes marciais Se puder humildemente contribuir: É um experimento muito bom o demonstrado no vídeo , necessário apontar que ambos os lados neste caso tem curva de aprendizagem e adaptação para situação devido a constante tentativa de acertarem golpes. Em uma guerra real , isso não ocorre muito , um lado prevalece sobre o outro rapidamente devido a necessidade de sobrevivência portanto dentro do contexto teremos oportunidades iguais. O Jukendo estuda esse tipo de embate baioneta X espada fazem mais de 140 anos desde a Restauração e Guerra Civil Meiji Também temos a experiência de diversos batalhões desde as guerras Napoleônicas na Europa , Guerra Civil Americana , Farroupilha, Guerra da Cisplatina , Paraguai . Pode a espada ou lâmina similar (machete) vencer uma arma de fogo ativa no tiro e com baioneta? Fácil não é mas as evidências dizem que sim em determinados contextos , no combate de até 10 metros de distância , na diferença do nivel de habilidade dos combatentes , falhas mecânicas do disparo ( muito comuns em armas semi automáticas e automáticas, principalmente por munição molhada e lama) . Ambos estão de armaduras ( capacete , colete etc ).? Isso faz muita diferença, a defesa do corpo dos combatentes , essas armaduras resistem a disparos de tiros e perfurações? Outra questão , lutar de armadura não é usar Bogu , Bogu é uma proteção para se evitar machucados onde os golpes são focados nas área protegidas (suhada Kenpô ) , Lutar com uma armadura de combate como um Yoroi ou mesmo armaduras militares modernas significa usar a armadura no combate ou para deter o ferimento ou para ferir o oponente ( Kaisha Kenpô/ Yoroi Kumiuchi). então o kote de um Yoroi e seu Sode pode deter um golpe e ser usado para socar o oponente de forma grave e contundente. o Domaru pode ser usado para shimewaza .O Kabuto para dar cabeçadas poderosas além de defender a cabeça . Os Gurkhas , um batalhão de elite do Nepal e Reino Unido usam em combate a temível Kukri no tamanho pequeno para faça e grande para facão, é uma força especial com grande rendimento em combate corpo a corpo . Os Batalhões Sirkhis da Índia , idem , altamente eficientes na combinação guerra moderna X lâminas . Japão , Coreia , China todos treinam muito efetivamente com espadas . Na Europa se observou a importância do HEMA para forças militares e policiais e a Esgrima retornou às Academias de Formação de Sargentos para cima . Leste Europeu e Eurásia .a Espada Cossaca deixou forte legado no preparo e uso em combate por soldados de elite . No Vietnã e Laos muitas forças especiais observaram a necessidade do uso de lâminas em combate na selva , pois a proximidade dos embates corpo a corpo era constante . No deserto na Guerra do Golfo eram combates a distância mas nas invasões das cidades como Faillusa , eram combates de proximidade brutais,. novamente a baioneta , a faca, machados , pás de combate, facões e espadas curtas táticas ganharam protagonismo como ferramentas indispensáveis para sobrevivência do soldado . A cavalaria com cavalos , mulas e dromedários foi bem usada novamente na Guerra do Golfo e Afeganistão para deslocamentos silenciosos em áreas sem estradas , de difícil acesso e montanhosas A espada assim como a Cavalaria são armas muito úteis em todo o mundo principalmente no policiamento de áreas largas como parques , praças , estádios de futebol e grandes aglomerações de pessoas . Se você pretende entender o uso da espada em combate , você deverá ir além da questão desportiva e treinar Koryu e estilos táticos , treinar estilos que foram usados de fato em combate estudar táticas e estratégias . Também é necessário ter um bom conhecimento sobre armas de fogo.principalmente no comportamento em combate ( silhuetas em stand de tiro não revidam , o stand de tiro é para treinar pontaria, segurança e procedimentos no disparo , atenção, foco , posição de defesa , ofensividade , progressão de tiro etc , ou seja a base ), confronto é outra história . Já vi excelentes atiradores , campeões de tiro prático travarem diante de um confronto real. Ossu 🙇🏻‍♀️🙏

You should do a proper match of Kendo vs Jūkendo (bayonet kendo) that would be more professional of you

m1개런드 같이 길이가 길고 총검 장착한 총으로 대결하는건 어떨지 궁금하네요

[@user-xj9to7ve7o]

M1개런드 무거워서 금방 지칠 수도 있을거 같네요 ㅋㅋㅋ

[@user-qd1uc3rl1d]

2차세계 당시 일본도를 든 일본제국군 장교와 개런드 소총을 든 미 해병대원의 백병전 전투를 보는 것 같습니다. 영상 흥미있고 재미있게 잘보고 갑니다. 2023년 새해 복 많이 받으시고 건강하시길 바랍니다 💝💪

[@Re-2005]

Bayonet fighting it's like Half Swording with a longsword surprisingly but with limited angle of attack

[@ucbaolamlu5865]

i know its not related but gun with bayonet vs blade really made me curious after the anime GATE fight scene

[@cesare_1302]

Same lol

[@casbot71]

The rifle just needs to have some ammo to make it a sure thing…

[@dflyshodan]

I want to see this against kenjutsu.

The bayonet was originally designed to replace the pike, which was used to keep Calvary at bay.

It's kind of like a short spear ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
