The HG 85 is a round fragmentation hand grenade designed for the Swiss Armed Forces and still produced by RUAG Ammotec in Switzerland. Due to its special constructed fuze and packaging, it is considered especially secure. For these reasons, it is also used in a number of other European Armies and Armies in the Middle and Far East. HG 85 is the internal designation of the Swiss Army and replaces the HG 43 from WWII.
It entered service in the Swiss Army in 1985.
