The Killing Gloves of Boxing, often abbreviated as K.G.B., are unlockable melee weapons for the Heavy. They appear as large, smooth, padded boxing gloves in team colours.
These gloves deal the same damage on hit as the Fists, but have a 20% longer swing time and thus less potential to follow up hits. When the Heavy kills an enemy with the K.G.B., however, he is guaranteed critical hits for the next 5 seconds, and can kill additional enemies with the weapon to refresh the boost's duration. This boost affects other weapons, allowing the Heavy to switch to other weapons such as the Shotgun to deal further damage at the cost of losing boost time through the switch animation.
The Killing Gloves of Boxing are automatically given to any player who obtains 22 Heavy achievements.

Bugs
- The Heavy's hands will sometimes majorly clip through the Gloves while taunting.
- The Heavy's hands disappear sometimes on death.
Trivia
- K.G.B. was the acronym for the Russian security agency, secret police and intelligence agency Komityet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosty, which was disbanded in 1995.
- The K.G.B.'s taunt is an homage to Mr. Sandman's warm-up technique from Punch Out!!.
- In the .gcf files, there is a scrapped weapon mechanic which was intended for the K.G.B. With it, every kill would earn the Heavy, and his surrounding allies, 50 health regenerated and an additional 10% to their critical hit chances. The downside was that the Heavy taunted after each and every successful K.G.B. kill.
