Best Answer

Bayonets are still used today, but the have become a general use knife that also attaches to a rifle. The knife is sometimes used as a mine probe. It is rare to see a bayonet actually attached to a rifle unless it is for ceremonial purposes. There may be days when soldiers still hear the order "fix bayonets" in battle, but they are very few and far between.

The last time I was at the memorial trench, I will told the remaining bayonets had been stolen. This was the spring on 2018.

It was just as it has been during the Great War. Today everything changes.kap73p
