I'm assuming you want military weapons, or those favored by gangsters. Handguns have changed very little from that time, although automatics were not as popular as revolvers, at least in the US. Note that automatic weapons, ie machine guns were entirely legal to own until the Firearms Act of ca 1934.
A very partial list:
US
Handguns:
.38 Smith and Wesson
.45 Colt revolver "peacemaker" and Automatic
9mm Browning
Rifles:
.30/06
Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR)-issued to police/military
Winchester and Marlin lever actions in .30/30, .45/70
.30/06 Springfield Model '03 (used by military and police units. Plus commercially available.)
.30/40 Krag-Jorgensen
Shotguns:
Remington pump action in 10 and 12 gauge
UK
Pistols:
.455 Webley revolver
9mm Browning
.38 Smith and Wesson
Rifles
.303 Lee Enfield
Germany
Pistols:
9mm Luger and Wather P38
Rifles:
7.92mm ("8mm") Mauser

gives a nice rundown of small arms(pistols,rifles, sub machine guns etc..) used by dozens of countries for the last 100 yrs or so. (plus 800 or so illustrations with the latest edition)

The 14 years previous having a pint after paintings ought to in all likelihood destroy out with it because the owner knew he change into not likely to havge a visit from the Police, on the prompt of day, and the Lad ought to have cleared off with assistance from 8-00pm (if he had adequate funds besides). As spoke of shopkeepers knew their purchasers in my opinion even as it got here to cigs, and no human being knew the wellness disadvantages. notwithstanding the alcohol sale change into no longer a large problem with toddlers because in Blighty we merely did no longer have the disposable income that we do right this moment, I undergo in ideas some one having a celebration even as i change into about 15 and that i merely requested Mum to purchase me some bottles of Cider, it change into no huge deal, because it change right into a one off over the summer season. maximum persons began ingesting at about 16 going 17 yet even then it ought to easily be once a week as that change into all you ought to have adequate money at that age, and lets no longer have adequate money to be absolutley plastered as we were into paintings next day or merely didin't have that type of money.
