Not sure what you mean by side effects. Napalm is/was a jellied fuel. It is spread across the target area. and ignited. It burns with great heat for a few minutes. Being close to or inside the flame area can be fatal- not just from the heat, but the oxygen being burned out of the air.

∙ 13y agoJust like standard HE (High Explosive); they were dropped in front of you. If anything they looked more dramatizing (looked more exciting which is why Hollywood loves the stuff) but they weren't near as effective as an HE general purpose bomb (which left a crater big enough to drive a full sized pick up truck into). Nape burned & then burned itself out; great for camera buffs (and television newsmen but that was about it).
Every time you watch television an actor tosses a "grenade" into something and you'll notice if goes off like a napalm bomb...its just for effect, audiences LOVE IT! In reality a standard GI frag grenade just made a black cloud of smoke (if at night you could see a quick burst of flame at the base...the same with any arty or air strike).
