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 °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 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 Type-3 Incendiary Grenade is a multi-purposed infantry explosives munition, and can be thrown 10 meters by the average soldier.

The toxic nature of caesium renders human flesh inedible to Jiralhanae.<ref name="vis"/> | |||

The Type-3 Incendiary Grenade was first developed by the Jiralhanae on their homeworld, [[Doisac]]. The [[Sacred Promissory]] took over the grenade's development and production and started manufacturing several months prior to the [[Great Schism|breaking of the Covenant Empire]]. | The Type-3 Incendiary Grenade was first developed by the Jiralhanae on their homeworld, [[Doisac]].
