They just aren't complete without the bayonet, sling, ammo pouches, whatever you can get.
The early bayonets are pretty impressive, the length is a holdover from the era of single-shot rifles when infantry was expected to use the bayonet in defense. A soldier could defend an 8 or 9-foot hemisphere of space with his rifle and allow men behind him to reload and fire.
