Related to this thread, what where the best infantry equipment, mechanized vehicles, and aircraft of World War I?
I'd choose the same set of weapons except for the following:Firearms:
semiautomatic sidearm: Colt 1911 or Mauser C-96 red 9 version
revolver sidearm: Colt or Smith & Wesson 1917 or Webley revolver
Bolt Action rifle: Short Magazine Lee Enfield or Mauser
semiautomatic rifle: Fusil Automatique Modèle 1917 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusil_Automatique_Modèle_1917
Automatic rifle: Browning Automatic Rifle or Lewis gun
medium Machine gun: Browning M1917
Heavy Machine gun: Browning M2
shotgun: Winchester M1897 or M12
submachine gun: MP18 Bergmann
other rifle: Winchester M1895
And for fun Blades, the Bayonet, Kukhri and the US M1917 trench knife
The Enfield is good, but that Tommy gun is cheating, lolI'd choose the same set of weapons except for the following:
Bolt Action rifle: M1917 Enfield (combined all the best features of bolt-actions of the day with the powerful .30-06 cartridge)
Semiautomatic rifle: Meunier A6 (had night sights, among other things, and wasn't constrained by having to use Lebel components or rimmed Lebel ammunition)
Medium/Light machine gun: Parabellum MG14 (probably the lightest belt-fed rifle-caliber machine gun of the war, weighed less than the Lewis when air-cooled while having the firepower of the Vickers when water-cooled)
Submachine gun: Annihilator (the early name for the Thompson Submachine gun)
The Enfield is good, but that Tommy gun is cheating, lol
yeap that is trueThough someone with an Enfield may well be able to drop the Tommy wielder before Tommy Boy can get in range.![]()
The OP didn't say it had to have seen action, and the first shipment did make it to Europe as the war ended.The Enfield is good, but that Tommy gun is cheating, lol
My personal picks would be:Best light gun? Best field gun? Best heavy? Best Mortar?
My picks would be
Skoda 75 mm Model 15 for light or mountain gun.
Field... now the though choice Krupp 105m K 14/17 is the best in absolute terms, but french fire control makes schniders 155 C a first pick.
Heavy ... Canon de 155mmGPF
Mortar 25cm Schwerer Minenwerfer
Though someone with an Enfield may well be able to drop the Tommy wielder before Tommy Boy can get in range.![]()
For vehicles, I'd say the Queen Elizabeth class battleship.
The lance usually beats the sword. Distance weapons vs. close-in weapons.Though someone with an Enfield may well be able to drop the Tommy wielder before Tommy Boy can get in range.![]()
