Can anybody help me with the immediate constituent analysis of a sentence...? please
I am quite helpless with the complexity of the sentence...
Though the firing produced very little effect on the troops--most of
whom had been through the experience several times before--it was
a severe trial to the wounded, whose nerves, shattered by pain and
weakness, were unable to bear the strain.
Thanks in advance

The regular troops were not scared by the (artillery or gunshot) explosions (noise). However, the wounded troops were severely affected because they were weak and in pain.

Thanks for your answer but I am more interested in the syntactical analysis and the relations between sentences. I mean...
Though the firing (noun phrase, subject) produced (verb phrase, verb) very little effect on the troops (?direct object?)
