Advantages: You could kill mass groups of the enemy or render them useless if they did not die. It was first used by the Germans. Disadvantages: It had no mercy and took no sides so if you used it on the enemy and were to close or winds changed it could kill your own men. This created the use of gas masks that were very crude and primitive at the time but DID save many lives. It has been banned in warfare ever since the end of WWI. It has only been used a few times since then once was by Suddam Hussein on the Kurds.
