  4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_infantry_weapons_of_World_War_Ihttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_infantry_weapons_of_World_War_I The Browning 1918A1 Machine Gun The machine gun, which so came to dominate and even to personify the battlefields of World War One, was a fairly primitive device when general war began in August 1914.  Machine guns of all armies were largely of the heavy variety and decidedly ill-suited to portability for use by rapidly advancing infantry troops.  Specifications: Weight: 103 Lbs Wars: World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War Variants: 1917A1 Barrel length 24 in (609 mm) Cartridge: .30-06 Springfield Action Recoil: operated automatic Rate of fire: 450 round/min Muzzle velocity 2,800 ft/s (853.6 m/s) Feed system 250 round fabric belt

  5. http://www.firstworldwar.com/weaponry/rifles.htm German Mouser The standard weapon in the German army, the 7.92 mm Mauser Gewehr 98 was designed (as its name suggests) in 1898 by Peter Paul Mauser (1838-1914).  Somewhat superior in design to the majority of its contemporaries, it incorporated the clip and magazine into a single detachable mechanism, saving valuable loading time. It suffered however from the disadvantage of being unsuited to rapid fire (on account of its bolt arrangement), and was limited by a five-cartridge magazine. Nevertheless it was a thoroughly dependable, well tested and accurate weapon, and with its fitted optical sight, ideal for use in sniping.

  6. http://www.firstworldwar.com/weaponry/rifles.htm British Lee-Enfield Rivalling the Mauser both in terms of use and reputation was the British Lee-Enfield 0.303-inch rifle, which was issued to virtually all British soldiers on the Western Front (and many elsewhere).  First produced in 1907 and officially titled the Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE) Mark III, the name was derived from its designer (James Lee, an American) and its manufacturer (the Royal Small Arms Factory based in Enfield, London). Unlike the Mauser the Lee-Enfield, with its ten-cartridge magazine, was well suited to rapid fire; a suitably trained soldier could expect to fire twelve well-aimed shots a minute.

  7. http://www.firstworldwar.com/weaponry/rifles.htm U.S Springfield M1903A3 The Springfield, manufactured in the U.S. (at Springfield, Massachusetts), was the standard wartime rifle of the U.S. army.  It was reliable and produced in a short-barrelled version for issue to the American Expeditionary Force.  In short supply however around half of U.S. soldiers in the field were issued with the M1917 'American Enfield'. The performance of the U.S. rifle was comparable to the British Lee-Enfield, and was also produced in a Mk1 automatic version.

  8. http://world.guns.ru/rifle/repeating-rifle/rus/mosin-e.html Mosin-Nagant The Mosin-Nagant rifle, known in the Russia as a "Vintovka Mosina" (Mosin Rifle), was developed under the government commission in the late 1880s and early 1890s, and was officially adopted for service by the russian mlitary, Mosin rifle in different variations was a standard military arm of the Russian and Red army for some 60 years, and also was adopted and used by China, Finland, Hungary, Poland, North Korea and some other countries. It is still popular in Russia as a civilian, hunting rifle, due to relatively low prices and a readily available ammunition. The Mosin-Nagant rifle is a bolt operated, magazine fed rifle. It used an integral, single stack magazine, loaded from the clip chargers, with capacity for 5 rounds.

The weapon was first employed on the Western Front where it proved extremely effective in the trenches when combined with the speed and ferocity of Storm trooper units. Streams of burning oil followed by the relentless attack of German’s most aggressive troops helped to break through many defensive positions. Design and development of the German flamethrower had begun several years before the outbreak of the First World War. Richard Fiedler created the first functioning and practical flamethrower. He was assisted in his work by Herman Reddeman – who would hold the rank of major in a flamethrower unit in the German Army during the war – and who had, at one time, been the fire chief of the German city of Leipzig. Pertrolium, Nitogen, Fuel (some kind of gas)

  10. www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/099858.pdf 1914 Tear Gas The early military uses of chemicals were as a tear-inducing irritant (lachrymatory), rather than fatal or disabling poisons. During the first World War, the French were the first to employ gas, using 26 mm grenades filled with tear gas (ethyl bromoacetate) in August 1914. The small quantities of tear gas delivered, roughly 19 cm³ per cartridge, were not even detected by the Germans. Specificaitons Tear gas works by irritating mucous membranes in the eyes, nose, mouth and lungs, and causes crying, sneezing, coughing, hard breathing, pain in the eyes, temporary blindness, etc. Lachrymators are thought to act by attacking sulphydryl functional groups in enzymes.

  11. http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/FWWmustard.htm 1917 German-Mustard Gas Mustard Gas (Yperite) was first used by the German Army in September 1917. It was one of the most lethal of all the poisonous chemicals used during the war. It was almost odourless and took twelve hours to take effect. Yperite was so powerful that only small amounts had to be added to high explosive shells to be effective. Once in the soil, mustard gas remained active for several weeks. Sprecifactionas The skin of victims of mustard gas blistered, the eyes became very sore and they began to vomit. Mustard gas caused internal and external bleeding and attacked the bronchial tubes, stripping off the mucous membrane. This was extremely painful and most soldiers had to be strapped to their beds. It usually took a person four or five weeks to die of mustard gas poisoning.

  12. http://www.firstworldwar.com/weaponry/index.htm Colt M1911 One of the most popular pisols today and in WWI, it makes its mark in the pistol community. This is one of the most collected and loved pisols in history. Thi pistol was used all the way up to the vietnam war and is still used as a sporting gun in many competitions due to its accurate ability. The M1911 is a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, and recoil-operated handgun chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. John M. Browning designed the firearm which was the standard-issue side arm for the United States armed forces from 1911 to 1985. The M1911 is still carried by some U.S. forces. It was widely used in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.

  13. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beretta_M_1934/1915 Beretta M1915 The Beretta model 1915 is a compact, semi-automatic (or self-loading) pistol which was issued as a standard service firearm to the Italian armed forces beginning in 1915-1934. It is chambered for the 9 mm Luger, more commonly known as the .380 ACP. The .380 ACP ammunition is somewhat America and the magazine capacity is only 7 rounds. When the empty magazine is removed it no longer holds the slide back. The slide will come forward and close the gun unless it is held open by application of the safety, a separate operation, and this slows down the reloading of the pistol. This is the variant of ht M1934 and is practically ecacly the same size but is a different caliber.

  14. http://www.carbinesforcollectors.com/ital5.jpg Smith and Weston/Colt M1917 Revolver The M1917 Revolver (formally United States Revolver, Caliber .45, M1917) was a U.S. six-shot revolver of .45 ACP caliber. It was adopted by the U.S. Army in 1917 to supplement the standard M1911 .45 ACP semi-automatic pistol during World War I. Afterwards, it was primarily used by secondary and non-deployed troops. There were two variations of the M1917, one from Colt and one from S&W After the First World War, M1917s became popular on the civilian market. Some were military surplus. Others were newly manufactured. Smith and Wesson kept their version in production, for civilian sales, until they replaced it with their Model 1950 Target. .

  15. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winchester_Model_1897 U.S. Winchester M1897 Trench Shotgun The Winchester Model 1897, also known as the Trench Gun, Model 97 and M97, was a pump-action shotgun. with an external hammer and tube magazine manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. The Model 1897 was an evolution of the Winchester Model 1893 designed by John Browning. From 1897 until 1957, over one million of these shotguns were produced. The Model 1897 was offered in numerous barrel lengths and grades, chambered in 12 and 16 gauge, and as a solid frame or takedown
