Artillery was responsible for approximately 60% of all military deaths in World War I. This high percentage reflects the devastating impact of artillery barrages on both soldiers in the trenches and on the battlefield as a whole. The widespread use of heavy artillery, including howitzers and field guns, contributed to the high casualty rates experienced during the war.

Artillery deaths in World War 1?

Artillery was the leading cause of casualties in World War I, accounting for approximately 60% of all battlefield deaths. The widespread use of heavy artillery, such as howitzers and field guns, resulted in devastating bombardments that inflicted severe injuries and fatalities on soldiers. The trench warfare tactics employed during the conflict made troops highly vulnerable to artillery fire, leading to staggering death tolls, especially during major offensives like the Battle of the Somme and Verdun. Overall, the brutal effectiveness of artillery changed the nature of warfare and had a lasting impact on military strategy.

How many people were killed other than guns?

Assuming you mean all over the world and since the beginning of time, there have been over 100 billion people in the history of the earth and they have all died. However, guns were invented fairly recently and have only accounted for a very small percentage of deaths. By guns, do you mean handheld firearms, or anything powered by gunpowder? And since what point in time? And where? Deaths other than guns (in the history of the earth) account for over 99% percent of deaths. But that includes before guns were even invented. Please be more specific?
