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.
