AMERICAN JUKENJUTSU: Bayonet Reference Catalog
The length and configuration of a bayonet influences its employment, and is therefore important to understanding the system in which it was used. The following reference catalog may be of assistance in making extensions to the currently available wooden training rifle/bayonet combinations to accurately simulate the length of the combined weapons system. This catalog is not exhaustive, and is not intended as a scholarly coverage of bayonet variants.
This table continues under construction. Last update 2011-01-18.

Notes: Length data is blade length unless otherwise noted, with the assumption that a grip or hilt is mounted in such a way as to effectively be included within the length of the musket or rifle. Inch measurements are rounded off. Rifle/musket length data is gathered from a variety of sources, and given differences in models for a particular weapon, should be considered only representative.
