Adam;
I don't know so much about the bayonet wounds being more 'fatal' or not....I do know that the design of the 'blade' of most muzzleloading bayonets were of a tri-blade nature....this would cause a wound that would be difficult to seal itself off with the bodies usual clotting mechanism.
I do know that many reenactors at the battlefields I've been to have stated that the bayonets were used as candle holders, meat skewers, ect, but no so much used in battle.
