please update

To anyone suffering from the invisible rifles bug: in my case, the conflict was with the Saya and Ebira mod. Unchecking it solved the problem.

I love this mod it works great as of April 2025. It has no conflicts with mods that add deep ranks to formations and uniform mods!

bayonets don't appear on any units

Guns are invisible on units whose rifles with bayonet,could you please fix that?

please update

为什么我所有装上刺刀的步枪包括刺刀在内，全都被渲染成了木头？

Ive noticed that some of the rifles look a bit too short, where the bayonet in the animation sometimes doesnt visually stab the target. Is there a fix for this?

有bug，我的士兵每人都有两把步枪

Is there a mod like this but only giving bayonets to foreign marines?

guns are invisible on any rifle unit

please update

Sure, feel free to use it in your mods :)

Please use a translator

你好 ~ 你的mod很符合历史的造型，我很喜欢。 我打算使用 你的 素材 来制作mod，你允许吗？
我试着添加你为好友，可惜没能成功。

最后这是一个很好的mod

Also, sword bayonet infantry (i.e. non-socket bayonet infantry) have their rifle disappear when they engage in melee

I tested Dio's Pectorals methodology (posted on Nov 18, 2022) to see if it worked with DarthMod. His method worked, with some notes:
- Vanilla infantry (ex: Line Infantry, foreign marines, shogunate/imperial infantry, etc.) did have socket bayonets, but the new units (from DarthMod, although this likely applies to any mods that add new units) still had the sword bayonet or katana
- Vanilla units reverted back to their OG unit sizes (ex: in DarthMod on Ultra, Line infantry have 300 men, with this mod it is reduced to 200 men). New units are unchanged.

Sorry for double post so soon. Just to say that my previous post is confirmed. Deactivating every other mod, launching and playing a custom battle then quitting out, reactivating all the mods you like and launching again seems to work. If you deactivate the bayonet mod, you'll need to repeat the process again.
As for the mod itself, the animations look awesome and it seems to function seamlessly once you get it working!

For me this mod isn't working at all. I start my game up and both in the custom battle AND campaign battles there's no bayonets. I'm a little confused by this and if anyone knows what could be happening, I'd appreciate the help.

For me bayonets only show up on some units, for example: Line infantry, white bears, kihetai dont have bayonets but imperial infantry and imperial guard do have bayonets. Is this meant to happen?

Why does the imperial infantry lack bayonets?

Great mod! I'm wondering if it's possible to make this mod compatible with the 10th Anniversary mod?

Amazing mod! By far the best implementation. Technically the P61 short rifle (the muzzle loading rifle in game) should have a (side mounted) sword bayonet which brought the overall length to the same as the P53 long rifle + socket bayonet.

Is it possible to edit the vanilla models? Theoretically would it be possible to splice the Snider barrel onto the lock/stock of the P61 enfield (creating a standard P53 long rifle)?

uhhh dev? after i apply this mod the guns of ranged army of FOTS has been disappered

Stunning mod. I absolutly love it. Thank you for your work.

Though historically the Shogunate Infantry used swords instead of bayonet, still an excellent mod.

HAHAHAHAHAHh shut up fucking communist, good mod though.

My nickname was changed to this because a Scottish mod author's improper remarks on Taiwan independence tried to incite and plot against me, but I immediately saw through his plot, so I blocked him and his other friend.

Brother, I have a question. When I used uu3d software to convert the mesh model file of Satsuma semi hat, there was an unregistered problem. When I wanted to buy the software, the purchase address failed. Which software should I use if I modify the model and convert the format?

Take your time, brother. Don't worry.

I don't have any plans at the moment

Brother, will you add more clothes to your mod in the future?

AFRO Samurai, try checking compatibility with your other mods

for me it doesn't work can I get a tip on what might be the problem

I tested both together in some custom battles, because I didn't want to start a campaign and invest hours only for it to crash or be unplayable, and they seemed to be compatible. But thanks for the reply anyway!

Kiso Minamoto, I haven't tested it myself but it looks like it should work fine

On the Workshop page for The_Yogi's "FOTS Tactics and Weapons" mod, they've added a link to this mod. My question is, is the aforementioned mod compatible with this one? I would assume so, since the former has a link to the latter, and from its description, it looks like it. I don't really understand game files and such so I'd just like to double check.

Andrithir, yep, this is the downside on muzzle loading rifles. Even though their stats is the same, firing rate is actually lower

I don't know why, but I think this mod causes US Marines to have a musket reloading animation rather than breach which does slow down their fire rate noticeably. When I turned this mod off, the US Marines were back to their breech loading animation.

This mod i wait for so long a nice old socket bayonet

dont know why, but the bayonets are only for the foreign infantry... marines of UK US and France

The mod for me has stopped working

Can you make this compatible with the 10th year anniversary mods? It would be amazing if we could have bayonets there.

This mod might be incompatible with some other re-skin mods.
It doesn't change units stats, no anti-cavalry bonuses added.

So is this a reskin or does it also give anti-cavalry melee?

Does any mod that re-skins units affect the existence of bayonets? I have one on and only the elite infantry units have bayonets.

@ValorBOSS The mod stopped working for me I am wondering why the hell it stopped

Bruh my infantries just melee fight with thier invisible katana. Still nice mod tho

@ValerBOSS All right, thanks, I'll look into it and see what I can do.

Yep, that's possible. It should be done just like with the original units. Check the mod .pack file to see how it's done. It's not that complicated.

Hi, I have a question. I really like your mod, and also this unit pack: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=248494510&searchtext=spleen

Obviously you can run both mods at the same time, there's no problem but bayonets don't apply to new units from the pack (which is obvious, I'm not complaining about it). What I wanted to know if there's any way to make bayonets apply to some of the new units from the pack as well, since the pack also has Darthmod version which makes it so that some new units have bayonets. But because I don't play Darthmod that much I just wanted to know possibility of getting a compatibility patch or anything for vanilla version of the pack (and it also seems bayonets from your mod look much better than those from Darthmod).

I could try to do that compatibility patch, but unfortunately I have almost zero experience with PFM or modding in general :D
