| The '''napalm grenade''' was a type of incendiary [[grenade]] used by [[UNSC]] forces during [[2552]]. Not much is known about them, other than that they were used by [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]] in testing the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|MJOLNIR Mark V armor]] on [[Reach]], hidden amongst the [[Pillars of Loki]] and used in conjunction with [[sonic grenade]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', ''page 262''</ref>

| | Historically, Napalm is a mixture of chemicals which, when mixed with gasoline, 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 ingredients names: |
| | *aluminum salts of '''na'''phthenic and '''palm'''itic acids = Napalm |

| ==Background==
| | The name has since evolved from just the gasoline and Napalm gel to mean any substance that causes intense fires upon ignition. |

| ==Trivia==
| | It the [[Halo Universe]] the '''Napalm Grenade''' was used by [[UNSC]] forces in the [[:Category:Books|Halo Novels]].<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], page 262</ref> It could be in Halo 3 because a "firebomb grenade" was found in hex. |
| *In the real world, international law does not necessarily prohibit the use of napalm or other incendiaries against military targets. However, use against civilian populations was banned by the [[United Nations]].
| |
| *The [[Orgudam Workshop firebomb]], used primarily by [[Brute Stalkers]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'' is possibly similar in function to a napalm grenade.
