The '''Type-3 Antipersonnel/Antimateriel Incendiary Grenade''',<ref>http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3fourthgrenade</ref> colloquially known as the '''"Firebomb,"''' or '''"Flame Grenade,"''' is a [[Brute]] [[grenade]]. | The '''Type-3 Antipersonnel/Antimateriel Incendiary Grenade''',<ref>http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/content.aspx?link=h3fourthgrenade</ref> colloquially known as the '''"Firebomb,"''' or '''"Flame Grenade,"''' is a [[Brute]] [[grenade]]. | ||
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 around 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. Killing someone in multiplayer with this grenade will award the player with the [[Halo 3 Medals|Incineration Medal]]. In campaign, it is 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.
