Here's a cut-sheet for the HG 86 by Rheinmettal

...and a quote from Jane's On-line circa 2003...

Arges Type HG 86 Mini fragmentation hand grenade

Description
The Arges HG 86 (Mini 86) is the smallest type in the Arges range and is a further development of the
Arges HG 80 Mini. The principal improvement is in the control of fragment distribution. An HG 86
detonated 1 m above the ground, 5 m from a 20 mm soft wood target, averages a fragment density of
3.05/m2.
The HG 86 Mini can also be supplied as an offensive grenade (OFF HG 86) in which case it has a
plastic core without fragments and a smooth surface.

Weight: 180 ±10 g
Length: 76 ±1 mm
Diameter: 43 ±1 mm
Weight of explosive charge: ca 17 g
Diameter of fragments: 2-2.3 mm
Number of fragments: ca 1,600
