During World War I, hand grenades provided soldiers with a portable and effective means to engage enemy troops in trench warfare, enabling them to inflict casualties from a distance. Their compact design allowed for easy transport and quick deployment in close combat situations. However, disadvantages included the risk of misthrows, which could lead to friendly fire, and the limited explosive range, making them less effective against fortified positions compared to larger artillery. Additionally, the production and supply of grenades were initially inadequate, hindering their widespread use in the early years of the war.
