This is a list of World War I infantry weapons.
Austro-Hungarian Empire The Austro-Hungarian Army used a wide variety of weapons during the First World War (1914–1918). Most of its standard infantry weapons were produced by the Österreichische Waffenfabriks-Gesellschaft (Steyr), while artillery and specialized weapons were largely manufactured by Škoda Works. The empire also used captured weapons from Russia, Italy, Serbia, and other Allied countries during the war. The Austro-Hungarian military relied heavily on the Mannlicher straight-pull rifle system, Schwarzlose machine guns, Škoda artillery, and locally produced pistols. Due to shortages of equipment during the later years of the war, captured enemy weapons were often repaired and issued to frontline units.

First Brazilian Republic The First Brazilian Republic (1889–1930) maintained a diverse collection of small arms acquired from domestic production, European manufacturers, and military contracts. The Brazilian Army gradually modernized during this period, replacing older single-shot rifles with modern Mauser bolt-action rifles and adopting machine guns for infantry support. Brazilian forces used these weapons during several internal conflicts and military operations, including the Federalist Revolution, the Canudos War, the Contestado War, and various border security operations. The army relied heavily on German Mauser designs, while older Belgian Comblain rifles remained in reserve and secondary service.
Sidearms Brazilian officers, cavalrymen, artillery crews, and specialized troops were equipped with revolvers and semi-automatic pistols. The adoption of modern self-loading pistols increased during the early 20th century.
Luger P08 — German semi-automatic pistol used in limited quantities by Brazilian officers and military personnel. Chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum, it was one of the most advanced service pistols of its era. Brazilian 1883 Nagant — Belgian-designed Nagant revolver adopted by Brazil. It served as a standard sidearm for some army units before being gradually replaced by newer pistols.
Rifles The Brazilian Army used a combination of older black-powder rifles and modern smokeless-powder bolt-action rifles. The Mauser 1908 became the principal service rifle of the army during the early 20th century.
Mauser 1908 — Standard service rifle of the Brazilian Army. Manufactured by DWM (Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken), it was based on the Mauser Gewehr 98 design and chambered for 7×57mm Mauser ammunition.

M1873 Brazilian Comblain — Belgian-designed single-shot rifle adopted by Brazil. Used by infantry units before the introduction of repeating rifles. Brazilian Comblain Carbine Model 92 — Short cavalry carbine version of the Comblain rifle, issued to mounted troops and support personnel.

Hotchkiss M1914 — French heavy machine gun chambered in 8mm Lebel. Used for defensive operations and fixed positions. Madsen M1907 — Danish light machine gun purchased by Brazil. Its compact design allowed it to be used by infantry, cavalry, and mobile units.
Kingdom of Belgium The Kingdom of Belgium entered the First World War with a relatively small but well-equipped army. Belgian forces relied heavily on domestically produced firearms, particularly Fabrique Nationale (FN) and Nagant designs, as well as the Belgian Mauser Model 1889 rifle. During the German invasion of Belgium in 1914, much of the Belgian Army was forced to retreat and continue fighting from the fortified positions of Liège, Namur, and later the Yser Front. Due to wartime shortages, Belgium received large quantities of Allied weapons, especially from France and the United Kingdom. Belgian colonial forces and the Garde Civique also used a mixture of older and foreign weapons.
Sidearms Belgian officers, cavalry troops, artillery personnel, and specialized units used a variety of revolvers and semi-automatic pistols. The country's firearms industry, especially FN, became internationally recognized for producing Browning-designed pistols.

Browning FN M1910 — Compact semi-automatic pistol adopted by Belgium and used by officers and auxiliary personnel. Colt M1903 Pocket Hammerless — American semi-automatic pistol used in limited numbers. Nagant M1895 — Belgian-designed revolver manufactured by the Nagant brothers and used by Belgian military forces. Ruby M1914 — French-made semi-automatic pistol supplied to Belgian troops during World War I.
Shotguns Shotguns were mainly used by auxiliary formations and civilian defense organizations rather than frontline infantry.
Browning Auto-5 — Semi-automatic shotgun used by the Garde Civique, Belgium's civilian militia organization responsible for internal security and local defense.
Rifles The standard rifle of the Belgian Army before and during the First World War was the Mauser Model 1889. Belgium also used older single-shot rifles and imported Allied weapons due to wartime shortages.

Albini-Braendlin rifle — Older breech-loading rifle used mainly by Belgian colonial troops in the Congo Free State and later Belgian Congo.
