What weapons were developed to counter measure the machine gun?

No weapon was ever specifically designed to combat the machine gun When it was first invented, it proved deadly against infantry going 'over the top' in WW1. Infantry were still only armed with single-shot rifles at that time. Tanks were first invented to cross barbed wire and provide cover for infantry, so you could arguably say that the tank was invented to deal with machine guns. machine guns developed further and by the second world war, iinfantry were armed with them, as well as carbine and single shot rifles. Virtually all modern guns all have an automatic fire option, and the only guns that are still single shot are long range sniper rifles.
