Machine Guns and Rifles By Vena Rodriguez, Renee Antonio and Arianna Nieves

Advances of using Machine Guns and fire arms Could fire 400 to 600 small caliber rounds per minute, causing as much damage as possible Since they were able to kill at long range on mass scales they were being successfully used in trench warfare Soldiers favored them because they were not only affective but also compact They were small enough to be handled and traveled with making them a key weapon for the war

The disadvantages Machine Guns Fire Arms They were large and bulky so the men that were shooting them had to be stationary They were impractical because the weight of the ammunition were to heavy to easily handle Due to their size and power they often over heated Their shooting range was limited Their accuracy was just as limited as their shooting range Because they were compact they used a limited amount of ammunition making them a hassle to have to reload them constantly

Importance of Gun Warfare in WWI Were able to kill from a distance Machine guns mad it possible to kill in mass amounts Both used as a defensive and offensive method Could be used during stalemate (machine guns) and during battle (fire arms) had a higher percentage of being fatal when used against the enemy Was a “safe” weapon that some of the other weapons that were being used at the time; like gas bombs

How guns Changed the course of WWI Firearms proved to be quite handy in war due to the fact that they were long range. Guns were commonly used in trench warfare. The machine gun was stationed just above the trench and delivered devastating blows from afar. Rifles were more popularly used in the trenches because 15 rounds could be fired in a minute and a person 1,400 meters away could be killed. Overall, guns changed the course of the war because of their ability to shoot enemies at great speed and far distances.
