Short answer: Alliteration in a Blog title sounds right. Slightly longer answer...
The "Bayonets" is easy, the vast majority of my Wargaming is done in the "Horse and Musket" period, whether it be Napoleonics (where it all began), the 7YW, the ACW or even the Banzai & Beach storming charges of WWII, the bayonet is part of the equation.
As for the "Barrel" the answer has a few nuances, it's something to keep the powder in, without them both musketry and artillery remains silent and ineffectual, fine spirtits are matured in them, and in some distant past in a small corner of Ireland through way of my paternal grandmother my family were Coopers.
