Weapons

We used the bolt-action rifle. It could fire up to 15 rounds a minute and could soot people up to 1,400 feet away. This rifle became crucial to the war. it was hard to fight with the machine gun because it weighed alot and we constantly had to re-load it. My favorite weapon during the was would have to be the grenade. the grenade did more damage to the emeny then the gun could in my opinion. It took so long to reload the gun allowing the enemy to move in, but the grenade was so quick and effective.
The lugar pistol was yet another weapon involved in ww1. It was generally given to the officers and not us the soldiers. Although this guns name wasnt originally called a "lugar", the name came along when George Lugar improved the gun and his name stuck. This pistol was very accurate for its time era.
