During World War I, machine guns, such as the Maxim and Lewis guns, had effective firing ranges of about 1,000 to 2,000 yards (approximately 900 to 1,800 meters). However, their practical range was often limited by factors like terrain, visibility, and the need for accurate targeting. The rapid rate of fire allowed them to deliver a significant volume of fire within this range, making them a pivotal weapon on the battlefield. These capabilities contributed to the stalemate and trench warfare that characterized much of the conflict.
