Spränghandgranat_07
Spränghandgranat 07, shgr 07 (En: blast hand grenade 07), is a self-righting jump hand grenade developed by Försvarets materielverk (FMV) under product-leader Ian Kinley, who also developed the improved fuze mechanism used in the shgr 07B. The manufacturing is done at Rheinmetall Waffe Munitions ARGES GmbH in Austria at Försvarsmakten's behalf.

When spränghandgranat 07 was introduced in 2012, Försvarets Materielverk called it "the greatest news in the field of hand grenades since the Great War". The shgr 07 contain some 1900 balls that covers a cone 10 metres in diameter with the centre about 2 metres in height. This minimize the dangers outside the lethal zone as there is little to no random scattering of fragments from the blast. Kinley was by Kungliga Krigsvetenskapsakademin awarded with both the Reward-medal in Silver of the 8th size and a monetary acknowledgement from the Albergska Stiftelsen.[1]
