## Summary

To attack with the bayonet effectively requires _good direction, strength and quickness_ during a state of wild excitement and probably physical exhaustion. The limit of the range of a bayonet is about five feet (measured from the opponent’s eyes), but more often the killing is at close quarters, at a range of two feet or less, when troops are struggling _corps à corps_ in trenches or darkness.
