I was told the blast radius on a WP grenade is wider than most men can throw. Made me think.

Ouch.
The incendiary grenades we 'played with' during Basic and AIT did exactly blow up.
They more or less smoked for a second, and then made bright hissing flames, and flashes that looked like a welder's kit in use.
And they had set on top of a dead V-12 engine.
Melted metal ran out the underside of the block.
Impressive.

OOps, "DIDN'T" exactly blow up.
Cripes, me and my typos today.

Never used a WP grenade. The 4.2 mortar would fire them though.
