It is a multi-purposed infantry explosives munition and can be thrown 10 meters (32.8 feet) by the average soldier. Upon impact with a hard surface, the casing converts to liquid form, burning at 2200 °C (3992 °F) and causing significant damage to vehicles and infantry alike, automatically killing all nearby infantry in a 3.4 meter (8 foot) radius. The gel-like filler substance also escapes from the burning casing, splashing over nearby objects and causing significant damage as it burns for 4.5 seconds. However, in [[multiplayer]] mode, if you get hit with a Firebomb Grenade in your legs and then quickly run into the river in ''[[Valhalla]]'' or the sea on ''[[Last Resort]]'', you will survive.{{fact}} Killing someone in multiplayer with this grenade will award the player with the [[Halo 3 Medals|Incineration Medal]]. In campaign, it's a very effective weapon against the Flood. It can kill up to three [[Flood Combat Forms]] or [[Flood Pure Forms]] in a close group. They are also useful against large swarms of [[Flood Infection Forms|Infection forms]]. When stuck to a [[Flood Carrier Form]], the resulting fire will burn thoroughly and not release any Flood Infection Forms from the Carrier. | It is a multi-purposed infantry explosives munition and can be thrown 10 meters (32.8 feet) by the average soldier.
