The '''Orgudam Workshop Firebomb'''{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} {{Type|3|Antipersonnel/Antimaterial Incendiary Grenade|A/AIG}} is an [[Incendiary weapon|incendiary]] [[grenade]] developed by the [[Jiralhanae]].{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}}{{Ref/Reuse|vis}} The weapon is often colloquially shortened to other nicknames such as '''Incendiary Grenade''', '''Firebomb''', and '''Flame Grenade'''.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc09|Enc09|Page=333}} In some usage, the weapon is nicknamed a '''Molotov'''

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|bnet}}

The Firebomb was first developed by the Jiralhanae on their homeworld, [[Doisac]].{{Ref/Reuse|vis}} It was originally designed by [[Orgudam Workshop]] with an emphasis on its potential psychological impact alongside any material damage dealt,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} though by the final months of [[2552]] sole production of the weapon had been shifted to the [[Sacred Promissory]] - an organisation within the [[Covenant]] tasked by the [[Prophet of Truth]] with construction of weapons for the Brutes.{{Ref/Reuse|vis}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

Jiralhanae flame grenades were frequently captured by [[United Nations Space Command]] personnel during the [[Human-Covenant War]], though the [[human]] troops were generally hesitant to use them due to their experiences at the receiving end of Brute-thrown Firebombs.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc09}} However, the grenade was one of many pieces of equipment detailed in the report [[Machines, Materiel and Munitions from the Human-Covenant Conflict, 2525 - Present]].{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}}

 

==Trivia==

*Killing someone in multiplayer with this grenade will award the player with the [[Incineration Medal]].  

*It only appears in four ''Halo 3'' [[campaign]] levels, ''[[The Ark (level)|The Ark]]'', ''[[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]'', ''[[Cortana (level)|Cortana]]'', and ''[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]''.

*It does not appear by default on any Multiplayer map, nor does it regenerate using the "Grenade regeneration" option. They are only available if they have been previously added in Forge.

*Firebombs generate a small explosion if shot while active and in any occasion in ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo 3: ODST'' campaign, instead of a pool of fire. They must be ignited prior to impacting a surface to create the pool of fire.
