Rewrite[edit]

I believe this article is in a need of being rewritten. I wish I could contribute, however I don't have a large knowledge of the weaponry used in World War I. Some of the things that I would suggest for this article are:

- A list of all of the major weaponry used in the war with the primary country/countries that utilized it in battle

- Some more information on the most common weapon that each country used

- Should include link to vehicles, planes and ships of world war I

-Poison Gas should be added to the list — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.191.169.34 (talk) 14:38, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Deficiencies[edit]

Needs to include artillery, bayonets, naval and air force weapons, Big Bertha.--Felix Folio Secundus (talk) 07:53, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Needs info on types of melee weapons used eg. Maces, axes, bayonets — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.224.56.63 (talk) 07:56, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

a notice[edit]

"The British Royal Navy and French industrialists invented tanks in World War I" Austrian Burstyn invented the tank in 1911

the British and French developed it, the Americans, Italians and Russians experimented it

also in world war one they used rockets and flamethrowers

a question[edit]

the M24 stielhandgranate was a world war one construction or a 1924 construction? (doesn't the code name indicates that it was a 1924 construction?)

Remember to sign with four tilde so. See Model 24 grenade for the history of this model. Jim.henderson (talk) 11:49, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"See Model 24 grenade for the history of this model." I already know about that history article and the specific stielhandgranate that is referred is a 1924 construction and not a world war one construction

I'm just asking for an explanation because it is included in a weapons of world war one article (how this?) instead of being only included in a weapons of world war two article

by the way this site here refers to the rare M1915 stielhandgranate, M1916 stielhandgranate and M1917 stielhandgranate

Remember to sign with four tildes. Who says it's "a 1924 construction "? Jim.henderson (talk) 14:39, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The BAR is NOT an SMG[edit]

I noticed the following line in the article "Near the end of the war, both sides deployed more mobile and lightweight submachine guns, such as the Bergmann MP 18 and the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle." which seems to suggest the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) is a submachine gun, now I don't know a ton about guns, but I'm pretty sure the BAR is a Light Machine Gun not a Submachine Gun (just throwing that out there if someone wants to fix it).
