Smokeless powder?
[edit]The text notes that many American casualties were "head wounds inflicted by accurate Japanese sniper fire and their use of smokeless powder." Smokeless powder was invented in the 1880s and was standard in military firearms in every major country by the turn of the 20th century. Both all of the Japanese troops and all of the American troops on Angaur and anywhere else would have been using smokeless powder during WW2. Death Bredon (talk) 18:29, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
