Can you put a bayonet on a Buckler Gun?

Yes, you could, but then you wouldn't be able to fire it. Also, since the bayonet is a two-handed weapon, it would be awfully awkward to wield properly (maybe represented by carrying over the "always considered an off-hand weapon" limitation of the buckler itself).

Does a bayonet count as a polearm or spear for the purposes of Phalanx Fighting?

Neither. Bayonet counts as both a Light Blade and as a Close weapon.

Can a small sized bayonet be used on a medium sized firearm?

Trying to free up that other hand?

Grand Lodge

I only have one. Long story.

Not planning to reload during a fight then I take it? I would just use a pirate hook hand along with the buckler gun. That way you can make melee attacks, ranged attacks, and avoid any penalties whatsoever.

Hook Hand, from Pirates of the Inner Sea
10gp, 1 lb., Simple Light Melee Weapon, 1d4/x2 slashing damage, Disarm quality

Alternatively, use some other cup-type of weapon such as Ultimate Combat's scizore or pata if you are looking for more damage.
If you are wearing heavy armor, just bolt a locked gauntlet onto it in place of a traditional gauntlet and then lock your cup-weapon of choice to it.

Hook hands still require an arm.

Buckler gun still allows for spell casting. It also provides a shield bonus.

Are you missing a hand, or the whole arm? If you are missing more than the hand, I'm not sure how you intend to use a buckler.

Grand Lodge

If I wear a prosthetic arm, I can wear a shield on it.
This, I know is RAW.

If I am wearing the buckler gun on the prosthetic arm, can I still use the gun, if I use my good arm?
What about the bayonet attached to the buckler gun?

Why not just put them on your good arm? As far as I can tell, it doesn't even use up your hand.

Grand Lodge

It is my first intention to wear the Buckler Gun on my good arm.
I was wondering if a bayonet could be utilized as well.

It seems not (it being a two-handed weapon). Guess you will have to settle for blade boots or armor spikes.

Grand Lodge

Maybe I could just attack with the prosthetic arm.
