M-16 and Glock 17. You never said it had to be a weapon from WW1.

>inb4 AK vs AR shitposting featuring mud tests with ian and karl

Probably the M1917 Enfield due to the excellent sights, one extra round compared to most service rifles, and fast cock-on-close action without any chance of rimjam such as with the .303 rifles.

Handgun is a tossup, probably a Colt 1903/1908 or Luger. Less recoil, more rounds than a 1911 or revolver.

Kar98az and a .455 Webly or a 1911. When it comes to being forced to use FMJ in pistols, muh stoppin' powah isn't actually a meme.

Madsen and Mauser 1914
Kaiser Bill did nothing wrong

WW1 was a fucking tragic mess, diplomatically speaking as well. It was everyone's fault, but also no one's fault at the same time. Basically, everyone fucked up just enough for it to happen. Truly the worst war ever, in my opinion.

What makes you think you get to choose that shit, everybody lines up for their .303 and foot powder.

The industrial revolution finally caught up with mankind's cruelty. Extermination became much more efficient.

If you get shot you're lucky.

You could slowly suffocate from gas attacks, or burned alive from crude firebombs, be eaten alive by rats, die from exhaustion, or get shelled into oblivion. Or, you come back a deeply changed man. You want to move, but find you can't. You're stuck in a bed. For the rest of your life. Can't speak. Locked into your own world as you pray for the sweet release of death every day in between flashbacks of the man beside you getting blown apart on the wire.

Fuck that. WWI was truly monstrous and the biggest fuckup mankind has ever seen. We are still dealing with it today.

Hellreigel and Nagant revolver.

Ill go with the Arditi dagger charge

This guy knows. The M1917 is one of the most underrated service rifles.
I'd take the M1917 and an FN Model 1903.

Whatever the hell they give me, as long as it slings lead.

Okay, here ya go, user.

Berthier and a shovel

Faggot, I'd take an Enfield M1917, an M1917 S&W, and an M1917 saber.

this gun is an absolute joke.

what were the japs thinking?

It was the definition of a war for empires. Poor fucks died in the mud for the purpose of expanding territories, with the bullshit reason being some dipshit archbishop was unfazed by a failed assassination attempt. btw, this may make the case for .380 being the most deadly round of all time:

>.380 kills arch bishop
>starts ww1
>ends up leading to ww2
>which leads to cold war
>which leads to ME terrorism (thru funding meant to oppose gommunism)
>which leads to terrorist attacks
>which leads to present day

nugget and obrez

Whatever they issued me. Probably bring along a personal 1911 if I was reasonably sure I could smuggle it in.

Aximbo MG08 as primary and duel wield cavalry sabers as backups.

1917 and 1911

Jow Forums, I...

French RSC and colt 1911

Of my current collection of guns I own,
Gewehr 88 and fn 1900

An AR-15, and another AR-15.

Doesn't matter. The artillery will kill me within a week. If I wanted to discern though, kar98az and a 1911.

I'd just bring this. If I'm going to die, it will be riding this across no mans land.

Rimjam is a meme, British military ammunition had beveled rims so if you had a rimjam the rim would just ride over it
