M1 Bayonet

The M1 Bayonet is variant of the M1905 Bayonet with a shorter blade. It is a starter melee weapon.
==Lore==
The origin of the M1 Bayonet started in 1942 when the US Cavalry Board recommended experimenting with a shorter 10 inch (25,4 cm) blade. M1905 bayonets were then cut down to the desired length (designated as M1905E1) and the 16 inch (40,64 cm) M3 scabbards were also shortened to M7 length. The shorter blade was found to be highly satisfactory and was adopted as the standard issue bayonet of the US Army in early 1943, designated as Bayonet M1. Because of the large amounts of M1905 Bayonets in the US Military, some M1905 Bayonets were recalled and the blade cut down and reissued instead of being replaced by the M1 Bayonets.USA—Second World War Era Bayonets - WorldBayonets.com
