In World War I, machine guns dramatically increased the lethality of battlefield combat, capable of firing hundreds of rounds per minute. Their widespread use led to devastating casualties, contributing to the stalemate of trench warfare, as attacking forces faced relentless defensive fire. The combination of rapid fire and the ability to cover vast areas made machine guns a decisive factor in battles, resulting in horrific loss of life and shaping military tactics for years to come. Overall, they exemplified the brutal efficiency of industrial warfare during the conflict.
Yes. There were machine guns in WW1. There were Gatlin Guns, a type of machine gun, in the Civil War.Yes
The machine guns in 1914 needed 6-8 one to fire, one to reload ammunition rest to carry gun. The machine guns needed to be on a flat surface and was placed on a tripod. They also had a fire power of 100 guns. The Vickers machine gun was sued through the first world war and through the second world war.

No
They all did.
Someone had an idea and that's how it all started.
Yes, they did have machine guns in WW2
Yes. There were machine guns in WW1. There were Gatlin Guns, a type of machine gun, in the Civil War.Yes
Machine guns are useful for killing people. They are also useful for aiming bigger weapons; since machine guns fire tracer ammo, a machine gunner can fire on a target so the forward observer can train guns onto it.

Technology provided more efficient killing via machine guns and also provided code breaking for secret massages.

Machine guns have a higer rate of fire and so they shoot bulets faster
No
Most of the parties involved already had machine guns in their inventory prior to the outbreak of the First World War.
Speaking on a general level: WWI was the war of the 'big guns' and the machine guns, WW II of the tanks and air power.
