These weapons were a big different in World War 1. These guns were just ripping through people. The machine gun was one of the best inventions because it is a rapid fire gun that rips right through you. The plan wasn't used to drop bombs our shoot down other planes, they were manly for spying on the enemy. The tank was just a weapon of mass destruction, it ran you over and just destroy you. There is a part on the battle field where there is like 30 or more feet of barbed wire. It would keep the enemy from getting to there trenches our it just slows them down so it is easier to shoot them.
