ABSTRACT

Incendiary ammunitions are used for destruction of buildings, installations, oil fields, ammunition depots as well as destruction of own documents. These make use of solid incendiary compositions or gel incendiary compositions. Solid incendiary compositions do not produce much gas but they produce extreme high temperatures. All incendiary ammunitions are in the form of small arms incendiary ammunition, mortar incendiary bombs, artillery incendiary shells, grenade incendiary ammunition and gel incendiary ammunition. This chapter provides details on typical small arms incendiary ammunitions, medium calibre incendiary ammunitions, mortar incendiary bombs, artillery incendiary shells, grenade incendiary ammunitions and gel incendiary ammunitions.
