World War One Site
So when i first went on this website i was like overwhelmed because there was so much information and i didnt really know where to begin. But then i clicked on the weapons of war link because i thought it looked interesting. When i got there i clicked on war mortars because i had no idea what they were. It was an older weapon that got a rebirth in WW1. The way they described it reminded me of a grenade launcher. Its history in the war started in 1914 and evovled into the Stokes mortar in which the british were able to catch up to the German intelligence in weaponry. It was relly cool to learn about all of their old war tactics. It was kind of funny though because back then they had to drag around all these huge bulky inventions that they thought were so amazing. And now we have even better weapons that are suitable for bettle in this time period. Its interesting to think that if what we have now came from things such as the trench mortar, what kind of weapons will exist in 30 years from now?

I agree completely. Its so cool how things can change and improve over time. I cant imagine what life will be like 30 years from now either.
