53 conflicts · 135 unique items. This is a growing selection, not a complete list of weapons from every war. You can compare items from different conflicts; filtering does not clear your selection.
Unknown does not mean zero. A dash is not a score. Effective weapon range, maximum range and vehicle operating range are separate measurements. There is no universal winner or invented firepower score; variants, loads and test conditions make many figures difficult to compare directly.
Choose at least two items from any categories or periods.
There is deliberately no default comparison. Tick weapons, vehicles or ships in the catalogue below; the table appears as soon as two or more are selected.

A British bolt-action rifle family; models and dimensions varied.

A French light tank and the first production tank to carry its armament in a fully rotating turret – the layout of almost every later tank. After 1918 it was used by many countries and in many conflicts.
A British single-seat fighter from 1917: tricky to fly but highly manoeuvrable, and one of the most successful Allied fighters of the war. It was still used in the Russian Civil War after 1918.
A British water-cooled machine gun.
