An interesting property of hand grenades is that they have no muzzle
flash or retort and their trajectory is difficult to determine. This is
particularly useful during night combat or any situation were
visibility is limited.
During World War One German Stormtroopers realised that enemy trenches were best attacked using just bayonets and grenades. During the approach firearms would often be carried unloaded to prevent accidental discharges or nervous Soldiers being spooked into losing fire-discipline. The absence of gunfire meant that neighbouring units or even those being attacked would assume that explosions were mortar or artillery fire. Often troops would take shelter rather than manning defensive positions. Not using firearms also reduced the risk of fratricide. Anyone who did fire could be assumed to be an enemy. In more open terrain the detonation of a grenade might be assumed to be a mine or booby trap.
