The M1915 Villar Perosa, a contender for the first submachine gun, was initially designed as an aircraft observer's weapon for WWI. Its dual-barrel system fired at an extremely high rate (up to 3000 RPM) using 9mm Glisenti cartridges, effective against early aircraft. Later adapted for ground combat, it evolved into iconic submachine guns like the Beretta M1918.

The Burton 1917 LMR, designed by Frank Burton for Winchester, was an experimental WWI aircraft weapon intended to counter balloons and airships. It featured a unique dual 20-round magazine system for 40 rounds total, a select-fire mechanism via a dual-trigger, and was chambered in .345 Winchester Self-Loading. Despite its innovative design, it never entered production, but technically meets the modern definition of an assault rifle.
