Welcome to our brand new series all about the weapons used during the first world war. Over the next few months, we will be exploring what weaponry was used to fight during the war and at the end of this series, hopefully you will have a better understanding of whether they were a good idea or not.
For today's post, we are thinking all about bolt action rifles. These were the basic design from which there were many variations depending on the country of original. Bolt action rifles were at their most used point in their life during the first world war, with all sides using a variant of one. British soldiers were each issued with a bolt action rifle as part of their kit but we will get onto what it was like as this series unfolds.
