The reason why the war started was because Hitler invaded Poland. Britain and France were the first to declare war on Germany. The US got involved when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. During the time of the war, the evolution of weapons was a very important because technology beings to improve. This technology is what helps us defend ourselves at that time and now. They had guns become machine guns. Tanks became bigger and heavier. Guns became easier to use, they were able to reload faster and easier. Rifles became handguns which were

had made new weapons because most of the other countries had improved their weaponry. One of the rifles used during the war was the M1903 Springfield. This rifle was produced by the company Springfield Armory in 1903. It was produced during 1907-1949, It weighs 3.94 kg, the length was 43.2 in, and the barrel's length was 24 in. It was a 5-round magazine fed, bolt action rifle. Bolt action is a technique in which the rifle bolt is used by opening and closing the barrel with a small handle. It was used on the right side of the rifle only if the person was right handed. This rifle has to be refilled every time the person uses it. The gun made it very difficult to reload the gun and make things hard because they had to carry extra bullets. Another weapon used during the war was the M1917 Browning machine gun. It is a heavy machine gun, which was designed in 1917. Considering it was heavy they usually used this gun in aircraft. Since the barrel could easily warm up they used a jacket where they were able to cool it. ”It was a crew served, belt-fed, the water-cooled machine gun that served alongside the much lighter air-cooled,” (Wikipedia) It was hard to avoid the fact that this gun could easily heat up because the soldiers had to use it for a long time. In that Jacket that they use soldiers put cold water to cool the barrel down. The cold water could have been used for the soldiers to drink if there were thirsty. The soldier had to do …show more content…
Considering the fact that most of these weapons have become lighter than they were. Less time to add bullets, meaning fewer people are killed. New improved weapons made to help even more. “Earlier wars may have planted the seeds for lethality, but this new war that engulfed the planet was a quantum leap into the future of weaponry.” (history of American wars). The fact that we were able to make better weapons, it was easier to do things in the war. the war may have had more deaths it was more because it was one of the biggest war, but the fact that technology was improved help soldiers. Designers of these weapons had to consider things that could help the soldiers survive through this war so they made new weapons the ones in the paragraph before. In the end, we see that weapons have progressed. The weapons are easier to use and the fact that people in the U.S. were able to make weapons better by inventing them easier to use and hold. Weapons nowadays have been made better than war world 2. People have seen that technology has improved. The fact that world war two was able to show how powerful the U.S. can be by showing how improved their weapons were. Therefore, technology has improved and is still making life
