Triangular Bayonets
While I had thought that Triangular Bayonets had been outlawed during the first Hague Convention. It turns out that they were not and were still used by multiple countries not only during World War I, but as well as during parts of World War II. The reasoning behind this was due to the ease of maintenance for the soldier on the battlefield.
As well, bayonets were not originally meant to be used against other combatants but against the horses that soldiers rode upon. There are issues though with the Triangular Bayonet; the wound left behind is a triangular shape. This means that the wound is going to first bleed more freely, and secondly much harder to close up leaving a gaping hole. This would leave the wounds prone to infection.
According to the Geneva Convention of 1949: That a ban is placed on serrated and angular bayonets, because the wounds left behind place undue suffering that persists even after the conflict has been resolved.

here you can see that there is not the normal straight slash that a regular knife leaves. This wound is impossible to stitch completely closed as well, which is the usual remedy to a knife wound in order to stop the bleeding.
