Bayonet (3.5e Equipment)

A bayonet is a knife-like weapon that is designed to fit on the end of a firearm. Fixing a bayonet to a firearm is a standard action that provokes attacks of opportunity. Bayonets come in three main varieties: plug, socket, and knife.

The SRD only gives a means to determine costs and weights of weapons for Large and Small versions based on the Medium weapons. Any other supplied values are the author's best determination.

Plug: A plug bayonet fits directly in the muzzle of the firearm. When a firearm has a plug bayonet inserted, it cannot be fired.

Socket: A socket bayonet fits on the muzzle without blocking it, allowing a firearm equipped with it to be fired. However, a socket bayonet is not designed to be used on its own, and thus is considered an improvised weapon when wielded on its own (when not fixed to a firearm)

Knife: A knife bayonet, like a socket bayonet, fits around the muzzle without blocking it. Unlike a socket bayonet, a knife bayonet can be wielded on its own without penalty. Knife Bayonets cost twice as much as normal bayonets.
