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.

I never actually got to fire off a WP grenade, but I decided I was only going to throw it inside someplace I was not, like inside an enemy gun tube or P.C. or tank.
