The Plasma Grenade is a standard hand grenade to say the least. The Plasma Grenade has an effective range of about 11 to 36 feet. When primed, the Plasma Grenade emits a blue plasma gas. This emission is light so that the grenade does not stick to the person priming the grenade. When thrown, the plasma gas begins to intensify enough that if it comes into contact with a vehicle or infantry, the plasma will start to burn into the surface and adhere to it until detonation. The grenade contains some type of internal mechanism that allows it to distinguish between targets and background. It will stick to a soldier or active vehicle, but not to a tree or wall. Once something has been stuck with a grenade, their is no normal way to remove it, only devices like an advanced electromagnetic shield can temporarily disable the internal mechanism, however this technology is rare and only issued to special forces of both the UNSC and Covenant.
