What kind of rifles did Germany use during World War 1?
Germany used the Model 1898 Mauser rifle as its standard infantry weapon. There was a shorter version, the Model 1898K carbine, which had the bolt handle curved down. Both were bolt-action with a five shot internal magazine, and were 7.92MM in caliber, but often referred to as 8MM. This continued to be Germany's standard rifle through WWII, though by the end of that later conflict some German troops were equipped with the world's first assault rifle, the Sturmgewehr 1943, which was the inspiration for the Russian AK-47.The Model 1898 is considered the first modern bolt-action rifle. The innovation of Paul Mauser was the use of two locking lugs on the bolt, front and back, which was a great improvement over previous bolt assemblies, and provided a much tighter seal of the breech. The US, which had just made a large investment in equipping its forces with the Krag rifle, saw the quantum improvement represented by Mauser's innovation, and licensed the design and incorporated it into a new rifle, the 1903 Springfield. All other nations had to produce a new generation of rifles to match this improvement. Mauser produced military rifles for a number of nations in Germany, in various calibers.After president Kennedy was assassinated with an Italian rifle of this generation purchased by mail order, the US Congress passed a gun-control act outlawing the sale of any weapon through the mail made since 1898, to cover the Model 1898 Mauser and all its imitators.
What firearms were used during World War 2?
The war years saw a lot of innovation in firearms design, but many of the arms were used in, and prior to, World War I. Since fully-automatic weapons have had restricted sales since 1934 I have no personal experience handling and shooting these arms due to their high cost and limited availabilty. I do own a few bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles that were used in this era. There were several arms that were developed during the war, some were mass-produced and others never made it much beyond the prototype stage. The single-shot Liberator 45 ACP handgun is one example of a WWII curiosity. Germany actually experimented with rifles that utilized barrels that were bent up to 90 degrees to fire around and over obstacles. Since this was a "world war" many nations and the arms adopted by their militaries saw action in the conflict. Nations involved in the war also shared arms and technologies in arms design and manufacture. In addition, companies that did not manufacture arms, but had manufacturing facilities and equipment that could be used to manufacture firearms parts or complete firearms were often contracted (or forced) to do so. The U.S. M1911A1 pistol is a great example; they were made by several U.S. companies during the war years including IBM, divisions of General Motors, and Singer (sewing machines). German Mauser rifles were made in some of the countries that Germany occupied during the war. Anyone that can build upon (or completely rewrite) what I've typed here is more than welcome to do so. I'm not professing to be an authority here, but this information is acurate to the best of my knowledge. This should be a good starting point to launch your Google searches for more information!

What details help to give a realistic picture of the combat experience of Civil War soldiers and of soldiers in general?
US Civil War soldiers were little different in living conditions, weapons, uniforms, food, or transportation than US soldiers serving on and in the frontier wars from 1865-1890. The actual rifle change occurred during the Spanish-American War of 1898 when the army went to the 30-40 Krag bolt action rifle; but the uniform was unchanged. In fact, this war was the army's last war in which they wore the blue uniform. Prior to the US Civil War, the US Army fought the Mexican War in 1846-1848. The weapons were a mixture of flintlock and percussion cap (the Civil War, with the exception of some metallic cartridge guns, was all percussion cap). There is no way to explain combat...one has to experience it. It's akin to explaining what's it like to be in a serious car accident? or possibly, what's it like to be in a fist fight with another man? Most people will tell you: "everything went in slow motion", "everything was blurry", "I had tunnel vision, couldn't see nothing but red!" Or, "Don't remember, everything went numb, but I remember it was a beautiful day, with a blue sky and pretty white clouds, and a beautiful clear river running at the base of the hill." With that said, there is one way to come close to the experience of a 1960/70s grunt (infantryman) during the Vietnam War: 1. Go camping in the mountains with your camper (or SUV or P-U truck/you'll be mechanized infantry/armored cavalry). Bring only enough supplies to last a month. 2. Bring no TV, no computers, no lamps; flashlights only (red or white lens is OK). A cell phone is OK, that'll represent an army PRC-25 radio (PRC-25 man-portable radio). 3. Only enough toilet paper to last 2 weeks (GIs always run out of toilet paper). 4. Take no bath or shower for the whole 30 days. 5. Brush your teeth only once a week or not at all for those whole thirty days. 6. Eat your food cold every night. Build no fires at night. Can heat food day only. 9. Eat only canned food. No potato chips, no deserts, just the canned food. Have one can opener to open all cans. 10. Find a place to use as your toilet (latrine). That'll be the only hygiene area you'll have. After 30 days, you'll have a very general idea of what it's like to be in combat. Minus the violence.
