Official Halo Plasma Grenade
The first of its kind, the mold for this Grenade was created from a 3D printed object with its source coming directly from Microsoft's game files. Each piece is painstakingly hand painted and finished, what you get is an exact representation of the Plamsa Grenade in the game. Stress ball material has been used to create the grenade giving it a good bounce as well as some stress relief by squeezing it in the hand or simply throwing it at someone
The Type-1 Plasma grenade is a spherical explosive composed of an unknown material and contains a small plasma generator[2] and other sophisticated internal mechanisms. The grenade itself, in terms of design and operation, is straight forward; the activation "switch" is located on the orange colored area of the grenade. Above the activation pad is a Forerunner glyph; these glyphs featured on plasma grenades are known to change with each new model and are believed to be based upon the time of manufacturing and Covenant religious rituals. Using technology that is barely understood, even by the Covenant, the Type-1 Plasma grenade is employed as both a thrown anti-infantry and anti-vehicle weapon.
When primed, the Type-1 Plasma grenade starts venting its coolant ensuring that the grenade does not stick to the individual who primed it. When thrown, the gaseous plasma begins to ionize to a degree such that if it comes into contact with a vehicle or individual, the plasma will start to burn into the surface and adhere to it, the venting coolant will cause the small plasma generator inside to destabilize and will in turn cause the grenade to detonate The grenade contains some type of sophisticated internal mechanism that allows it to distinguish between targets and the local environment; it will stick to a soldier or vehicle, but not to a tree or wall. Also, the grenade will not differentiate between friend or foe, or between targets that are alive or dead.
