World War I Weapons and Machines
Explain why work guns could dominate the battlefield in World War 1 Machine guns would change the war because of the fast fire rate, the calibre that basis be fired and the distance that the gun can cause fatalities. They were devastating to the opposing side because of the amount of casualties that could be produced, in a far shorter time period due to fire rate and charge time. Machine guns were applied to many things e. g. lanes, tanks and trenches they would assist in stopping the advance of soldiers between the frontlines, because of the far shorter reload time in comparison to a give-up the ghost or side arm. There were not many flaws but the small amount are quite substantial, for instance the mobility there was either very little(a) or none because of the vast weight, another fault that surfaced quite regularly was the jamming of spunk system and reload mechanism.These flaws were soon overcome with the release of LMG (light machine gun) that was far more manoeuvrable, a nd was less likely to jam it also could reload substantially faster than its predecessor, but had a smaller calibre. The LMG was dominating during the war for the pass on side because of its compact size, and many other features. During an advance a soldier could drop into a trench and fire upon multiple enemies without have to press the blow up numerous times and/or try and fire using a bolt action rifle which was a very slow means of firing. 2 Outline how the role of aircraft changed during World War 1.Any and all aircraft in the World War 1 were initially used for surveillance and /or reconnoitering the landscape but as the war matured as did the aircraft technology and they soon became weaponized into fighter plans that could hold an arsenal of different machine guns, either for firing upon enemy planes or trenches. These fragile planes were also used for bombing enemy positions or dropping supplies 4 Use your own word to define the future(a) terms Sump a form of drainage use d to remove water into a low lying area.
