Rifles & machine guns were the most common weapon used on the Western Front, and were used by every allied and German soldier. Gas was first used in 1915 at the Second Battle of Ypres by the Germans, producing detrimental effects on British troops. Smaller weapons such as grenades, mortars and flamethrowers were also used, especially in battles of attrition warfare, such as the Battle of Verdun and the Battle of the Somme.
