In collaboration with other RWM sites, Rheinmetall offers a broad portfolio of low-velocity (LV) rounds compatible to any intensity of warfare—including training, impulse, and less-lethal ammunition, as well as flash-bang, irritant, high-explosive, illuminating, and smoke rounds.
Our cartridges are characterized by high precision and reliability under all climatic conditions, as well as excellent compatibility with all standard 40mm LV grenade launchers and rifle-mounted grenade systems.
All products are NATO-qualified and have been introduced by various armed forces worldwide.
Hand Grenade Systems
Rheinmetall Waffe Munition Arges represents decades of experience and technological leadership in the development of fragmentation and offensive hand grenades. Our tailored solutions and their corresponding training systems ensure maximum operational flexibility for armed forces worldwide. Whether for the effective engagement of soft targets in open terrain or for precision use in urban combat, our systems set the standard for effectiveness and reliability.
The future of hand grenade fuze technology: the “BSafe” system.
In addition to proven, conventional fuzes, RWM Arges offers an outstanding innovation with its revolutionary “BSafe” fuze system. The system meets all relevant NATO requirements and redefines safety. No energy is stored within the entire system until the soldier deliberately activates it. This ensures absolute handling safety for the user.
