Bayonet Based Bulbs?

Does the word "bayonet" as used in describing things like bayonet based light bulbs or "push and turn" electrical connectors have its origin in the way some bayonets attached to rifles?

That's all I can think it might be.

Thanks guys,

Jeff

Make your own mind up on that, Jeff.

(It's nothing like my SKS bayo.)

If yours is like mine, it is a captive bayonet mounted to the weapon. It folds into the fore grip or out and slips over the barrel with hefty spring tension holding it in place.

Enjoy, DoN.

I picked up a dozen of these guys ($2ea) and found they're quite a bit of fun to throw, too.
