The M203 can fire both star clusters and parachute flares, those being the only "illumination grenades" I'm aware of.
Star clusters are used for signaling, not illumination.
Parachute flares are a relic of the days when night vision technology was both uncommon and undeveloped, and they were used to cast light on things such as advancing enemy formations at nighttime.
duckboards on the bottomthen theres the firing step for them to stand on when shooting then the ammunition shelf where they keep boxes of ammo and grenades and stuff which they use when they go over the top into no mans land
because it would kill his soldiers too
The thing that soldiers would hide in is commonly referred to as a "foxhole." A foxhole is a small, dug-out pit used for shelter and protection from enemy fire, allowing soldiers to conceal themselves while maintaining a vantage point. In addition to foxholes, soldiers may also use trenches or bunkers for similar purposes in combat situations.
The explosive grenade was first invented in Song Dynasty China during the 11th century. Chinese soldiers packed gunpowder into ceramic or metal containers. Incendiary grenades were first used in the Byzantine Empire, around the reign of Leo III.
If their post has a usable airfield within range to not require a stop in the US enroute, they'll go there (e.g., soldiers from Fort Drum would use that airfield, soldiers from Fort Bragg would use Pope AFB, etc.). Otherwise, the POE is determined by what's enroute to the final destination.
Depends on the women. Women SOLDIERS that have been trained know how to use grenades.
Killing enemy soldiers.
they threw grenades at the sodiers
World War I soldiers used grenades as a means to enhance infantry combat effectiveness, particularly in trench warfare, where close-quarters fighting was common. Grenades allowed soldiers to disable enemy troops and fortifications from a distance, minimizing the risk of direct engagement. Their use helped to break the stalemate of trench warfare by enabling attacks on enemy positions without exposing soldiers to immediate gunfire. Additionally, the development of grenades reflected advancements in weaponry and tactics during the conflict.
It enables them to cause large-scale destruction from a relatively safe distance. In relationship to their destructive power, hand grenades are quite small and thus fairly easy for soldiers to carry.
Stingball grenades... the explosion would be comparable to a firecracker. It's designed for use in an environment where high explosive force is both undesirable and unnecessary.

Grenades in World War I offered the advantage of allowing soldiers to attack entrenched enemy positions from a distance, disrupting enemy formations and causing casualties without direct confrontation. They were portable and could be thrown into trenches or over obstacles, increasing tactical flexibility. However, their disadvantages included limited range, the risk of misthrowing or premature detonation, and the fact that soldiers often lacked training in their effective use. Additionally, the reliance on grenades could lead to shortages and logistical challenges in supplying the front lines.
no, unfortunetly not it would be impossible due to the fact of needing to shoot ,jump throw grenades ect....
Concussion grenades. In an enclosed space they kill by overpressure. They are similar to a stun grenade, however a stun grenade is very little bang with a lot of flash to disorient the subject. In close proximity a stun grenade can rupture ear drums and force eyeballs from their sockets. Concussion grenades are a lot of bang with little flash and almost no shrapnel effects. Concussion grenades are normally called defensive grenades as they are designed for use outdoors to disorient enemy soldiers, whereas a stun grenade is useless outside as there is no walls to reflect the sound waves and the flash is diminished. A fragmentation grenade or offensive grenade has less explosive than a concussion grenade, however it is designed to fragment, and those shrapnel fragments are designed to would or kill in addition to the blast effect of the explosion itself.
The confederacy would not use slaves as soldiers because they were afraid they would defect to the north. So they were made to dig trenches and the like during the war.
