The BT/AT 52 is a rifle grenade manufactured by Israeli Military Industries. It is propelled by a bullet trap, and is derived from the earlier MA/AT 52 model.{{cite book|editor=Hogg, Ian V|title=Jane's Infantry Weapons (Sixteenth Edition) 1990 |year=1990 |chapter=Grenades |publisher= Jane's Information Group |location=Coulsdon, Surrey |isbn=978-0710609069 }}

In Israeli service, it can be fired from either the 7.62 FN FAL or the 5.56 IMI Galil rifle.{{cite book|author=Robert Cashner|title=The FN FAL Battle Rifle|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DZidAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA22|date=20 August 2013|publisher=Osprey Publishing|isbn=978-1-78096-903-9|pages=21–22|quote=At first, Israel manufactured a copy of the Energa rifle grenade for use with their FALs. Other, more recent designs are still in production. A good example is the Israeli-made BT/AT-52. This is a BT (bullet-trap) rifle grenade that can be used with 5.56mm or 7.62mm weapons which share the same-diameter muzzle device, with a maximum range of 300m.}}{{Dead link|date=September 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
