Between 1870 and 1910, weaponry saw significant advancements, particularly with the introduction of smokeless powder and more reliable firearms. Rifles such as the Mauser and Lee-Enfield became standard for military use, while revolvers like the Colt Single Action Army were popular among civilians and law enforcement. Artillery also evolved, with breech-loading cannons and howitzers replacing older muzzle-loading designs. Additionally, early machine guns, such as the Maxim gun, began to change the dynamics of warfare during this period.
