Some defense weapons used in World War 1 included machine guns, artillery, poison gas, and barbed wire. Machine guns such as the Maxim and Vickers guns were used to lay down a barrage of bullets on advancing enemy troops. Artillery, including large cannons and howitzers, were employed for long-range bombardment. Poison gas, such as chlorine and mustard gas, was used to incapacitate or kill soldiers. Barbed wire was used to create defensive obstacles and impede enemy advances.
