Early bayonets were of the "plug" type, where the bayonet was fitted directly into the barrel of the musket. [7] [8] [9] This allowed light infantry to be converted to heavy infantry and hold off cavalry charges. The bayonet had a round handle that slid directly into the musket barrel. This naturally prevented the gun from being fired.
BNC connector (Bayonet Neill-Concelman). (IEC 61169-8 and IEC 61169-63) C-type connector (Concelman) Dezifix connector, hermaphrodite connector used mainly by Rohde & Schwarz; DIN 7/16 connector (DIN 47223 and IEC 61169-4 [1]), a high-power 50 Ω connector originally developed by Spinner [2]
Prior to the lug's invention, plug bayonets were used, which were shoved into the muzzle end from a tight-fitting stub, preventing the firearm from being reloaded or discharged. [1] [2] By the early 18th century, this type of bayonet was being phased out and subsequently replaced with the socket bayonet. This type of bayonet slides over the ...
The BNC connector (initialism of "Bayonet Neill–Concelman") is a miniature quick connect/disconnect radio frequency connector used for coaxial cable. It is designed to maintain the same characteristic impedance of the cable, with 50 ohm and 75 ohm types being made. It is usually applied for video and radio frequency connections up to about 2 ...

A bayonet mount (mainly as a method of mechanical attachment, such as fitting a lens to a camera using a matching lens mount) or bayonet connector (for electrical use) is a fastening mechanism consisting of a cylindrical male side with one or more radial pins, and a female receptor ...
The bayonet was a crucial weapon because of the limited range and accuracy and long loading time of the muskets. Bayonets were fixed on the ends of the guns and were a fearsome weapon in hand-to-hand combat in which one or both sides charged the other; with the bayonet leading the charge.
The bayonet fitted into the barrel of the musket (hence 'plug'), preventing further reloading or firing and so fixing them was delayed until the last possible moment. [23] Inexperience and the speed of the Jacobite charge meant Mackay's troops were effectively defenceless and the battle lasted under 30 minutes. [24]
Leaf springs, essentially all in the same plane, pressed upward on the bottoms of the pins, also keeping the bayonet pin engaged. The first hot-cathode CRT, the Western Electric 224-B, had a standard four-pin bayonet base, and the bayonet pin was a live connection. (Five effective pins: It was an electrostatic-deflection gas-focused type, with ...
