World War I weapons consisted of various types of weapons standardised and improved over the preceding period together with some newly developed types using innovative technology and a number of improvised weapons used in trench warfare. Military technology of the time included important innovations in weaponry, grenades, poison gas, and artillery, along with essentially new weapons such as the submarine, warplane and tank.〔Tucker, Spencer C. (1998) ''The Great War: 1914-18''. Bloomington: Indiana University Press; p. 11〕 == Firearms ==
Infantry weapons used by major powers were mainly bolt action rifles, capable of firing ten or more rounds per minute. German soldiers carried 7.92mm Gewehr 98 Mauser rifles. which were good for accuracy and speed. The British carried the famous Lee–Enfield rifle.〔Bull, Stephen (2002) ''World War 1 Trench Warfare''; (1): 1914-16. Oxford: Osprey Publishing; pp. 9-10〕 Rifles with telescopic sights were used by snipers, and were first used by the Germans.〔Ellis, John (1989) ''Eye Deep in Hell: trench warfare in World War 1''. London: Pantheon Books, Random House; p. 69〕 Machine guns were also used by the large powers; a favorite was the Maxim gun, created by Hiram Maxim, a fully automatic weapon, with a high volume of concentrated fire, and its German version, the MG 08.〔Bull, Stephen (2002) ''World War 1 Trench Warfare; (1): 1914-16. Oxford: Osprey Publishing; pp. 11-12〕 Their use in defense, combined with barbed wire obstacles, converted the expected mobile battlefield to a static one. The machine gun was useful in stationary battle but was not practical for easy movement through battlefields, and was therefore often dragged or disarmed and carried. Near the end of the war more mobile and lightweight automatic firearms had been deployed by both sides, such as the MP 18 submachine gun and Lewis Gun.
