The '''Type-3 Antipersonnel/Antimaterial Incendiary Grenade''' ('''T-3 A/AIG'''),<ref name="bnet">[http://halo.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3fourthgrenade '''Bungie.net''': ''Incendiary Grenade'']</ref><ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', ''page 333''</ref> colloquially known as the '''Incendiary Grenade''' or '''Firebomb''' or '''Flame Grenade''', is a [[grenade]] used by the [[Jiralhanae]].

== Design details ==

=== Specifications ===

The Type-3 Incendiary Grenade is a multi-purposed infantry explosives munition, and can be thrown 10 meters by the average soldier. The filling contains pyrophoric alkali metal Caesium chemical compound, a stable yet hazardous chemical compound that was developed by the [[Jiralhanae]]. Upon impact with a hard surface, the casing converts to liquid form, burning at around 2200 °C (3992 °F), and causing significant damage to vehicles and infantry alike, automatically killing all nearby infantry in a 4.7 meter (15.5 foot) radius.<ref name="vis"/> The stable caesium mixture filler also escapes from the burning casing, splashing over nearby objects and causing significant damage as it burns for 4.5 seconds. The Jiralhanae have, however, employed variants that burn for longer.<ref name="vis"/> The flame emitted by the grenade is so intense, it is potentially hazardous to a human retina.<ref name="bnet"/>

The toxic nature of caesium renders human flesh inedible to Jiralhanae.<ref name="vis"/>

=== Development history ===

The Type-3 Incendiary Grenade was first developed by the Jiralhanae on their homeworld, [[Doisac]]. The [[Sacred Promissory]] took over the grenade's development and production and started manufacturing several months prior to the [[Great Schism|breaking of the Covenant Empire]].<ref name="vis"/>

** It can kill up to three [[Flood combat form]]s or [[Flood pure form]]s in a close group, even ones as large as Tank forms.

** They are also useful against large swarms of [[Pod infector]]s.

** When stuck to a [[Flood carrier form]], the resulting fire will burn it completely, and it won't release any Pod infectors as a result.

* The Incendiary Grenade is the only grenade that can "stick" on to [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]]s and [[Jiralhanae War Chieftain|War Chieftain]]s, so use them if necessary. This feature makes the grenade arguably one of the most effective ways to deal with Chieftains; however they will have no effect when used against the [[Invincibility]] equipment used by Jiralhanae.

* The Incendiary Grenade has no detonation time, so it will ignite instantly when coming into contact with either enemies or structures. This feature is particularly useful when escaping from the Flood.

:* ''"The filler seems to be a liquid or a gel or something; it dissipates pretty rapidly under water—I don't know how it would behave in hard vacuum."''

:* ''"It doesn't burn under water, unless it's already on something and burning. A "thermite", otherwise heat, grenade will burn under water and that crap has been around forever. Hey, is it just me or does Brute tech seem to be all over the map? Either there's no info sharing on [[Doisac|Brutonia]] or something bad happened."''

:* ''"[[Jiralhanae|Baby Kongs]] use 'em exclusively as AP grenades. Kongs tend to capture or abandon material more often than they deny it."''

:* ''"None of the other alien foxtrots use 'em. Either the bravo kilos don't trust 'em with 'em or the rest of 'em ain't as keen on burnin' folk as kilos are."''
