Weapons

The Canadian Army employed a wide variety of weapons during the 20th Century, progressing from bolt action rifles to fully automatic assault rifles as the standard infantry arm. Artillery became a highly scientific arm during the First World War, and a variety of weapons such as hand grenades, land mines and flame weapons were developed to assist Canadian soldiers in their tasks on the battlefield.
