During World War I, the cost of a machine gun varied depending on the model and manufacturer, but a typical price for a machine gun like the British Lewis gun was around £25 to £30 in 1914, which would be equivalent to several hundred pounds today when adjusted for inflation. The more advanced Vickers machine gun was priced similarly. These costs reflect the significant investment nations made in heavy weaponry during the war.

Rifle, machine gun, gas, Zeppelin, tank, planes and torpedoes.
The aircraft mounted machine gun was at first simply a ground machine mounted for a gunner to fire. All sides in WW1 used it. The first successful machine gun fired by a pilot was the Lewis machine gun on a special mounting attached to the top wing, allowing the gun to fire over the propellor.
