How much of modern (WWI on) infantry warfare is just dudes throwing grenades? I saw something that said trench raids were basically just 5 guys chucking grenades while 1 guy gave orders and 2 guys had bayonets ready incase someone got close.Wouldn't this give Americans a massive advantage because we can throw better than everyone else on account of our dads aren't faggots so they played catch with us.

>mandatory drones make whatever you claim obsoleteO algo
>>65639781yeah because they had drones in WWI, fatso
>>65639771Explosives trumps automatic gunfire. The name represents rapid and violent release of energy.Grenades are the closest and finest for any remaining infantry to clean up their enemy counter parts after air raid, artillery bombardment, direct gun firing did their broad stroke sweep. Every manual and training video on infantry assault ends with getting into grenade throwing range of enemy entrenchment and the last line of defense is defender throwing grenades at enemies in grenade range. Entrenchment are designed to optimize friendly and enemy grenade effectiveness against other weapons by adding features such as slope, height, wall, and grenade sump, among other considerations.>>65639771>>65639777>Unique american advantage on grenadeThere is none. Germany had ample production and supply of hand grenades, rifle grenades and shooting cups. Maybe an autistic number of designated blank cartridges for many rifle grenade/launcher pairs running through their fucked up supply chains.There are plenty of clear advantage for bomber, artillery, vehicles.
>>65640862nazis can't throw baseballs on account of their dads were dickless faggots
>>65640541early bi-plane bombing was literally a dude just dropping a grenade so in a way yes WW1 was prehistoric drone warfe
>Americans are better at grenade warfare>because baseball.I mean, its both a retarded and absolutely true at the same time. So good work.
>>65640888grenades are roughly baseball sized and thrown overhand like a baseball. every American knows how to throw a baseball and every yuropoor throws like a sissy nancy girl
>throwingTry mortars. If the bad guys get close enough then you can fire these horizontally.>>65640864You can throw stick grenades further and Nazis have practice using their hands on similar shapes.
>>65640893Nigger grenades aren't thrown like baseballs at all
>>65640936Not officially. Military basic training teaches a weird overhead throw based on WW1 prone throws; but in real life, the two other ways cover 99% of actual use - either posting it around a window or door at point blank, or baseball style.
>>65640945In my experience it's usually an unarm lob over or round something
>>65640936they are, retard. Buck Compton (he played catcher on UCLA with Jackie Robinson) threw a grenade and nailed a subhuman in the back of the head with it on dday. you are dumb and gay>>65640930>world war 1>mortars>trench raid
>>65639781now instead of dudes throwing grenades you have dudes controlling robots that throw grenades
>>65641214The more things change...
>>65639771I've read a couple of books about the Korean War and grenades were very prominent. As in hordes of chinks bum-rushing the american positions at night, many of the without firearms but with many, many grenades. And the americans repelling them throught a liberal use of machinegun fire and grenadesA few sources:>Russell A. Gugeler - Combat Actions in Korea>Leo Barron - High Tide in the Korean War: How an Outnumbered American Regiment Defeated the Chinese at the Battle of Chipyong-ni>T.R. Fehrenbach - This Kind Of War
In Storm of Steel there's a part where Juenger describes his CO raiding a trench just walking through it lobbing grenades at everything that moves while his aide is walking behind him shooting the survivors with a pistol.
Was the distinction between defensive and offensive hand grenades always clear-cut?
>>65640936>t. no dick thirdie who didn't have a dad to play catch withlearn to not be a homo
>self defense grenade
