despite the advent of armored vehicles, bomber aircraft and portable machine guns, the old-fashioned artillery piece reigned supreme in world war 1. artillery dominated the first world war battlefield and inflicted the majority of casualties. wallpaper weapon. armies used both field and siege guns during the war. the field guns were of smaller calibre, lighter, and easier to transport. the work-horse of the british and canadian armies was the 18-pounder. this gun fired high explosive and shrapnel shells and, later in the war, smoke, incendiary, and gas shells.

the artillery used different shells for different purposes. wallpaper weapon. shrapnel shells were timed to explode over enemy lines, sending down hundreds of tiny metal balls. this rain of metal, which exploded outward in a shotgun blast, caused terrible injuries to soldiers caught in the open. trenches helped to protect against shrapnel, but even trenches were vulnerable to high explosive shells that burst like dynamite, leaving large craters in the ground and killing and maiming anyone caught in the blast. the explosive charge also shattered the shell creating jagged shell splinters. wallpaper weapon. gunners used high explosive shells to collapse trenches and lightly protected shelters, but only the larger siege guns could destroy deeper enemy shelters or prepared defences.

mortars were simple but effective weapons widely used in siege warfare for more than 400 years. wallpaper weapon. essentially metal tubes with bases, mortars fired shells in a high arcing trajectory that plummeted down into the enemy lines or fortifications. first world war armies used many calibres and types of mortars, from heavy siege mortars to lighter, so-called infantry mortars that could be taken apart and carried forward by small groups of gunners.
