Because the illuminant compound burns with a very hot flame, this type can also be used for incendiary purposes against flammable targets. A typical illuminating grenade is similar in size and function to burning-type chemical grenades. It consists of three basic components : a thin, sheet-metal body, an illuminating charge, and a special, igniter-type fuze. The igniter consists of a quick-match contained in a bushing. The illuminating charge consists of a pyrotechnic composition, a first-fire composition and an igniter charge. 4, record 3, English, - flare%20grenade
