Artillery are guns in the army and are used for indirect fire; meaning the artillerymen CAN'T see their targets. A "FO" or "FAC" must see the target for them and adjust the fire (FO=Forward Observer, FAC=Forward Air Control). Artillery Rifles is a term that is not very common and most likely most men have never heard of it. However, the Navy uses (used to up until the end of the Vietnam War, the last time an ALL GUNNED US BATTLESHIP was used in war...the battleship USS New Jersey fired nearly 6,000 rounds of 16 inch shells from her RIFLES) artillery in which they often CAN see their targets...which is called direct fire (in contrast to in-direct fire). Therefore: Army artillery "lobs" their shells onto a target; while the Navy artillery "aims" their shells at a target. Well, rifles are "aimed" and require rifling to reach the accuracy necessary to hit their targets (prior to Vietnam, after Vietnam computers and missiles took over...smart weapons). The USS New Jersey was armed with nine 16" caliber rifles, which could be AIMED directly at a target. Note: The USS New Jersey is the only US battleship that fought in Vietnam.
Artillery=Cannons OR Guns In the military, the word "gun" does not mean rifles and pistols...it means artillery. Rifles, pistols, machineguns, etc. etc. are called "Small Arms."
ALL nations that were involved in WW I used rifles. While the most common use was by Infantrymen, soldiers in all branches of the military would have reason to use rifles- whether they were artillery, Armor, Cavalry, or Supply personnel. Rifles (and handguns) were even used by pilots.
The weapons that were used in World War 1 were rifles, machine guns, revolvers, rockets, zeppelins, tanks, planes, artillery, many kinds of warships, gases, and torpedoes.
