The
AN-M14 TH3 incendiary hand grenade is
used to destroy equipment. It can damage,
immobilize, or destroy vehicles, weapons
systems, shelters or munitions. The
grenade may also be used to start fires
in areas containing flammable materials.
A portion of the thermate mixture is
converted to molten iron, which burns at
4,000 degrees Fahrenheit. It will fuze
together the metallic parts of any object
that it contacts. Thermate is an improved
version of thermite, the incendiary agent
used in hand grenades during World War
II. The thermate filler of the AN-M14
grenade burns for 40 seconds and can burn
through a 1/2-inch homogeneous steel
plate. It produces its own oxygen and
will burn under water. Can be thrown 25
meters by average soldier. Color/markings:
Red, with black markings or gray with
purply markings and a single red band
Payload:
26.5 ounces of thermate (TH3) mixture
