WW1 had a tonne of Bolt action weapons so it understandable that concern over a lack of Semi-Auto and Full auto weapons might be absent from the game. So here’s a list to quell those concerns. Keep in mind that I may include weapons that were still in development or created after the Great War and this is mainly for quality gameplay, if Battlefield wanted to do a 1:1 scale of the war then the entire game would be 64 players split up between trenches shooting bolt action guns at each other without either side having fun. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ## [Link to section: Pistol’s -Colt 1911 -Luger P08 -Borchardt C93 -Mauser C96 (Plus a full auto version) (confirmed) -Nambu Type 14 -Steyr Model 1912 -Berretta Model 1915 -Star Model 14 -Browning 1903 and 1910](#pistols-colt-1911-luger-p08-borchardt-c93-mauser-c96-plus-a-full-auto-version-confirmed-nambu-type-14-steyr-model-1912-berretta-model-1915-star-model-14-browning-1903-and-1910-2)Pistol’s -Colt 1911 -Luger P08 -Borchardt C93 -Mauser C96 (Plus a full auto version) (confirmed) -Nambu Type 14 -Steyr Model 1912 -Berretta Model 1915 -Star Model 14 -Browning 1903 and 1910 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ## [Link to section: Revolver’s -Webley Revolver -Colt Model 1898 New Service -Nagant Revolver 1895 -LeMat Revolver -Single Action Army -Colt Model 1917 -Smith & Wesson Model 10 -Lebel Model 1892 -S&W 03](#revolvers-webley-revolver-colt-model-1898-new-service-nagant-revolver-1895-lemat-revolver-single-action-army-colt-model-1917-smith-wesson-model-10-lebel-model-1892-sw-03-3)Revolver’s -Webley Revolver -Colt Model 1898 New Service -Nagant Revolver 1895 -LeMat Revolver -Single Action Army -Colt Model 1917 -Smith & Wesson Model 10 -Lebel Model 1892 -S&W 03 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ## [Link to section: Shotguns(Trench Gun’s) -Winchester Model 1897 (Partial Confirmation) -Winchester Model 12 (Partial Confirmation) -Remington Model 10 -Remington Model 11(semi-auto) -Browning Auto 5 -Stevens Model M520](#shotgunstrench-guns-winchester-model-1897-partial-confirmation-winchester-model-12-partial-confirmation-remington-model-10-remington-model-11semi-auto-browning-auto-5-stevens-model-m520-double-barrel-shotguns-over-under-shotguns-lever-action-1887-4)Shotguns(Trench Gun’s) -Winchester Model 1897 (Partial Confirmation) -Winchester Model 12 (Partial Confirmation) -Remington Model 10 -Remington Model 11(semi-auto) -Browning Auto 5 -Stevens Model M520 -Double Barrel Shotgun’s -Over Under Shotguns -Lever Action 1887 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Sub-Machine Guns (most of the are experimental only two were really ever used on the frontlines) -Bergman MP-18 (Confirmed) -

There’s quite a few tanks (light medium heavy), over 20 aircraft (fighters, bombers) not including zeppelins. There are metal skinned planes as well. infantry transports. Modified weapons. e.g. using a mortar as a direct fire weapon against tanks. ---

Nice list, very extensive. I’d add these too: Winchester 1895 The Russians used the poop out of them, and it has some flair and unique identity among the rifles since it’s a lever action rifle. The M1917 Enfield “American Enfield” It actually was the primary rifle among US soldier deployed to France, and has been called the best rifle of WW1 by some, including Julian Hatcher. Plus it’s smexy and hold 6 rounds instead of the normal 5. The Madsen LMG It was in service with most European armies at one point or another in the 20th century. It may have been the best LMG of the war honestly, it’s light, reliable, and spits lead at a nice steady pace. It’s exactly what you want in a squad support gun. And the Chauchat is actually a fairly good weapon that has a soured history in America for a bad 30.06 conversion from my understanding. I’d post a link to a video about it from a channel called Forgotten Weapons on Youtube, but the forum won’t let me. I recommend to anyone interested in weapons from like 1820-1960 to look up that channel, Ian has a lot of great videos on hundreds of guns. ---

Oh and for vehicles they better have a Spad or I’ll be sad :..( (Ha, it even rhymes) One model of Spad even had a 37mm cannon on it, I don’t know how the gun preformed, or how the weight of the gun effected the performance of the Spad, but I can see it being fun lol. ---

I love BF but feel that in recent games there have been too many weapons and this causes a lack of individuality. Each weapon starts to feel the same. Instead I really hope that Dice Limits the amount of weapons and really focuses on unique gunplay. Earlier games had this and with the unlimited amount of customizing and weapons the game suffers. Let us have really great weapons but limit them for the games sake. ---

Seriously, DICE, if you need help researching interesting weaponry that existed during WW1, get into contact with Ian! Forgotten Weapons is a VERY educational site and YouTube channel! ---

Found another goody,the Farquhar-Hill rifle. Pulling my info from wikipedia and a video Ian made (seriously, he’s covered everything). An automatic rifle like the BAR or Chauchat, with a 700 rounds a minute rate of fire fed from a 20 or 65 round drum mag. Apparently the British placed an order for some after field test show them as “suitable for the field” in 1918, but the war ended before the main production guns were delivered. ---

The Farquhar-Hill that Ian used was semi-automatic with either a 19-round (according to [world.guns.ru](http://world.guns.ru)) or 20-round magazine, I believe. Although, many publications do list it as an automatic rifle. So, it may be both, depending on variants. ---
