WW1 Airsoft guns

Innovative Weapons from World War I

World War I was not only one of the bloodiest conflicts in history but also a period of great innovation in firearms. It was during this global conflict, which lasted from 1914 to 1918, that many new types of weapons and improvements to existing designs emerged, revolutionizing the ways of warfare on the European fronts. They have been faithfully replicated in the form of airsoft guns.

Key Weapon Models from World War I

Rifles played a significant role as the primary armament for soldiers on all fronts. The German Mauser M1898 rifle, with its distinctive tubular magazine, was one of the most widely used rifles by German forces. The Russian Mosin-Nagant M1891, although less modern, was widely adopted by the Tsarist army. The American Springfield M1903 sniper rifle, equipped with an optical sight and long range, allowed for precise long-distance shooting.

Submachine guns also appeared on the battlefield, offering fast and effective weapons for infantry soldiers. The German MP 18 was one of the first models used on a large scale, providing soldiers with the ability to deliver powerful short-range fire.

The tactics of warfare were also revolutionized by machine guns such as the light and mobile Lewis Gun, highly valued by British and American units, or the equally effective but heavy and cumbersome German Maschinengewehr 08.
