The Firebomb is a multi-purposed infantry explosives munition, and can be thrown 10 meters by the average soldier. The [[incendiary gel]] 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/Reuse|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/Reuse|vis}} The flame emitted by the grenade is so intense, it is potentially hazardous to a human retina.{{Ref/Reuse| | The Firebomb is a multi-purposed infantry explosives munition, and can be thrown 10 meters by the average soldier.

There were three potential designs for an incendiary grenade of Jiralhanae origin during the development of ''[[Halo 2]]''. The first | There were three potential designs for an incendiary grenade of Jiralhanae origin during the development of ''[[Halo 2]]''. The first resembled the spike grenade—albeit missing the spikes—featuring an elongated handle with wrapping; the main body has a grid pattern that glows red-orange when the grenade is active. The second resembled the final ''Halo 3'' design, featuring an iridescent glass center and chromed ends with probes that emit flares after being thrown. The third design resembled a large bone, with cast-aluminum finish and caps on either end that emit sparks and light when the grenade is thrown.{{Ref/Book|AoH|Page=115}} | ||
