Question

Was just wondering when this was adopted? Google didn't turn up a year, and I notice that it was in Band of Brothers. Was it standing in for another grenade, or has it really been around that long? Jimmoy 15:55, 24 May 2011 (CDT)

  • The M18 replaced the Willie Pete during WWII, if I remember correctly. --yocapo32 (talk) 03:38, 28 October 2016 (EDT)
No, the M18 was adopted in the 50s, replacing the earlier M16 smoke grenade. Spartan198 (talk) 09:31, 28 October 2016 (EDT)

If anyone's curious

The non-manufacture of modern violet smoke grenades and the change in formula I got from here. It doesn't give a specific date for the change, but the dates of the papers suggest late 80s or early 90s. Evil Tim (talk) 19:05, 6 October 2017 (EDT)
