The new weapon that caused the most casualties in World War I was the machine gun. Its ability to fire hundreds of rounds per minute allowed for devastating firepower on the battlefield, leading to massive losses during trench warfare. The widespread use of machine guns contributed to the high casualty rates, as they were effective in defending positions and repelling infantry charges. This technological advancement fundamentally changed military tactics and the nature of warfare during the conflict.
