Only One Available. The AN\/M14 incendiary grenade or M14 incendiary grenade is an extremely high-temperature incendiary grenade developed by the United States. It uses the same fuze as the AN\/M8 smoke grenade, and originally used the same sheet metal body too, while newer-production grenades seem to have switched to using the body of the M83 smoke grenade instead. Its filler is 26.5 ounces (751 grams) of TH3, a mixture of iron thermate, barium nitrate, sulfur and a binding chemical. This mixture burns at 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit (2,200 degrees Celsius) for 35-40 seconds, long enough to burn through a half-inch thick steel plate, and produces its own oxygen, meaning it can even burn underwater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a great original crate filled with twenty five original WWII husks for the AN\/M14 incendiary grenade. Each husk is marked on the top:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGRENADE, HAND\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAN-M-14-TH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINCENDIARY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTAINER, M42A1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd each husk has the original label with the purple stripe denoting incendiary, with a pack date of January 1943.
