Napalm grenade
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The napalm grenade is a type of incendiary grenade used by the United Nations Space Command.[1][2]
Overview[edit]
Historically, Napalm is a mixture of chemicals which, when mixed with gasoline and compressed, makes a sticky incendiary gel. Developed by the U.S. in World War II by a team of Harvard chemists led by Louis Fieser, its name is a combination of its original ingredient's names; aluminium salts of naphthenic and palmitic acids. The name has since evolved from just the gasoline and Napalm gel, to mean any substance that causes intense fires upon ignition.
Usage[edit]
In August 2552, napalm grenades were used by Colonel James Ackerson in testing the MJOLNIR Mark V armor on Reach, hidden amongst the Pillars of Loki and used in conjunction with sonic grenades.[3] They were later used by UNSC forces during the Battle of Draetheus V[1] and Battle of Installation 03.[2]
In-game information[edit]
Halo: Spartan Assault and Spartan Strike[edit]
Napalm grenades appear in both Spartan games as a weapon useable by the player. They are impact-detonated grenades that spread fire near their detonation point, damaging enemies who come near them.
