As the role of the military has changed, so have the guns used in battle.
The 20th century quickly established itself as a period of huge changes in military small arms as compared to advances made in the 19th century. Smokeless powder and self-loading mechanisms came into their own as the 19th century waned, setting the stage for further growth in the 20th century.
