The Rifle Grenade General Service (RGGS) was a rifle grenade in service with the British Army since 1996.

The grenade is of the bullet-trap type and is launched from the muzzle of the L85A2 rifle using standard ball ammunition. For maximum accuracy a dedicated prismatic sight can be attached to the rifle.

The grenade was phased out of service due to the introduction of the L17A2 Underslung Grenade Launcher.
