The most important weapon invented and used in WWI was the Tank. The aircraft as a weapon was used extensively for the first time in WWI for reconnaisance, artillery spotting, bombing, and strafing - the aircraft was used as a weapon to a limited extent in earlier conflicts. Posion gas was used for the first time in WWI

Tanks (armored cars) were used for the first time at the Battle of the Somme during World War 1. More modern tanks were developed just before the end of the war.

Anti-aircraft guns, sub-machine guns, and automatic rifles that could be used by one man, were developed during World War 1. The hand grenade was in existence but was quickly developed for use during WW1.

Poison gases such as chlorine gas and mustard gas were first used in World War 1 although they had already been developed.

Tanks were invented in about 1916 I think. They played a major role in WWII but were mostly a failure in WWI. Gas shells were used as well. These shells released poisonous gases (usually phosgene, mustard, chlorine and KSK) which seared the lungs of soldiers and blinded them. Some were killed as well. Fighter aircraft were advanced phenomenally by the conflict.
