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&nbsp;°C (3992&nbsp;°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"/>
