  • Machine guns which had first been used during the American Civil War, were improved for use in world war 1
  • new machine guns often over heated 
  • Heavy artillery guns were also used widely in World War I for the first time
  • They were difficult to use and very heavy
  • Facing one machine gun was similar to facing 250 soldiers with standard rifles
  • Like cannons, these guns could fire large shells over long distance, usually projecting them in an arc to land on the target

    - Small planes used to scout enemies location 
    -  Later they added machine guns to the planes for aerial combat (known as a dogfight) 
    - Germany used huge airships called zeppelins to raid over England at first 
    - The zeppelins were made with a metal fabric and filled with gasbags full of hydrogen 
    - They also gave the plane the ability to fly higher than most other ones that made them difficult to shoot down. 
    -  The zeppelins had a very poor ability to aim with strong winds that would blow them of course 
    - Zeppelins were replaced with multi-engine bomber planes towards the end of the war
