WWI Project Weapons of War & Trench Warfare By Shelby Powers

Weapons Rifle Machine Gun Gas Pistol Bayonets Zeppelin Tank Planes Torpedoes Grenades

Which weapon was most commonly used in WWI?

Rifle Advantages -Most widely used Disadvantages -1,400 meters was average range -Could be operated by one soldier Disadvantages -Accuracy was only 600 meters -Had to take time to refill it

Machine Gun Advantages Disadvantages -Ammunition was heavy -Kill many people at once -Long range -Other countries had to make new fighting strategies Disadvantages -Ammunition was heavy -Gun itself was bigger and heavier -Inaccurate compared to rifle -Often got overheated -Took 2-3 people to move and fire *French-worst *Germans-best

Bayonets Disadvantages -Not everyone was well trained with the bayonet -Risk getting shot Advantages -New bayonets were produced enabling soldiers to shoot with bayonet still in place -Defensive weapon -Used with close contact fighting -Used for food

Gas Disadvantages -Gas masks Advantage -Killed many people at once -Had to carry around -Ran out fast *First used by the French

Grenades Advantages -Killed people in large amounts Disadvantages -Could be thrown into an exact location Disadvantages -Tiring to carry around -Ran out quickly *How did it work?

Torpedoes Used by submarines Germans used them Used to blow up ships from America-Britain

Zeppelin Air ship (Blimp) Rigid so it could be bigger Powerful engines Metal Gasbags with helium Carried weapons Abandoned quickly

Planes Advantage -Weapons could be delivered fast to the soldiers -Spied on other people Disadvantage -Could be shot down - “Dogfights” (fighter planes)

Tank Used for the first time in WWI Needed 3 people Maximum Speed? 3 mph! Couldn’t cross trenches New tanks were made toward end of the war

Trench Warfare What is it? -warfare in which the opposing forces attack and counterattack from a relatively permanent system of trenches protected by barbed-wire entanglement. http://www.merriam-webster.com /dictionary /trench%20warfare

Combat in which each side has a system of protective trenches

Trench – top view

Problems in the Trenches Rat problems (1 pair = 900 offspring) Smell of rotting bodies Trench fever caused by lice Death Trench Foot Frogs Many more
