Bayonet

The bayonet is a weapon used by GFMC Task Force Herakles in a melee situation or when low on ammo, as stated by SPC F. Triplette:

''The sarge says those "Splinters" remind him of some killer bug he saw on another planet once. All I know is the things are fast and take a lot to drop. Pretty soon we'll have to go to bayonets. Everyone's low on ammo...even Brode, and he's the stingiest grunt I know. ''

While not depicted on their weapons, the bayonet blade may be an attachment or a retractable extension.

Elite Pirates of the Phazon Mines are also known to employ retractable Wrist Bayonets.
