Mainly bolt-actions guns. Machine guns were beginning to be seen with some regularity, but their usefulness was still unknown, so they were not yet produced in any great amount. Tanks were not yet in use. Some poisonous could be found, but artillery and mortars were much more popular. Soon after the beginning of the war, tanks and other odd inventions will be seen.
