Anti-Submarine Mortar An anti-submarine weapon is any one of a range of devices that are intended to act against a submarine, and its crew, to destroy (sink) the vessel or to destroy or reduce its capability as a weapon of war. In its simplest sense an anti-submarine weapon is a projectile, missile or bomb that is optimized to destroy submarines. http://wapedia.mobi/thumb/3ad1500/en/fixed/470/334/Hedgehog_anti-submarine_mortar.jpg?format=jpg

Mustard Gas The German army were the first to use chlorine gas at the battle of Ypres in 1915. Chlorine gas causes a burning sensation in the throat and chest pains. Death is painful - you suffocate! The problem with chlorine gas is that the weather must be right. If the wind is in the wrong direction it could end up killing your own troops rather than the enemy. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.historyonthenet.com/WW1/images/machinegun.jpg&imgref url=http://www.historyonthenet.com/WW1/weapons.htm&usg=__9dsxuNQH1XXW3YCN3QDCaGtLvKk=&h=171& w=293&sz=13&hl=en&start=6&zoom=1&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=WW_-
Zeppelin The Zeppelin, also known as blimp, was an airship that was used during the early part of the war in bombing raids by the Germans. They carried machine guns and bombs. However, they were abandoned because they were easy to shoot out of the sky.
Tanks Tanks were used for the first time in the First World War at the Battle of the Somme. They were developed to cope with the conditions on the Western Front. The first tank was called 'Little Willie' and needed a crew of 3. Its maximum speed was 3mph and it could not cross trenches.
