The Machine Gun
Machine guns needed 4-6 men to work them and had to be on a flat surface. They had the fire-power of 100 guns. Large field guns had a long range and could deliver devastating blows to the enemy but needed up to 12 men to work them. They fired shells which exploded on impact.
The inventor of the early machine gun offered his weapon to the British, who turned him down, however when the Germans heard of this gun they built their own to use in the war. Due to its popularity with the German troops, the British and French has to manufacture more and by the end of the war both sides were using the weapon.
