'''HMS''' or '''HMS biner''' are synonims for a [[biners#biner shapes|pear shaped biner]]. The origin of the name is the German name for a [[Munter hitch]], which literally translates to "Half Clove-hitch belay". In French too, a munter hitch is called "Half Clove hitch" (demi-cabestan).
Back to German. In German, Munter hitch belay is called - HalbMastwurfSicherung.
Breaking it up, and with a litlle imagination, we get:

Halb - as half,

Mastwurf - mast and wrap, so wrapped around a pole, as a clove hitch,

and finally,

Sicherung - which is similar to securing, or simply, belay.

Put all these back together and we get - HalbMastwurfSicherung - HMS.

A Munter hitch is a [[hitches|hitch]] tied around a pole or biner, and can serve as an improvised [[belay device]]. When reversing the rope direction the Munter hitch flips inside the binner but that requires a wide, pear shaped and symetrical biner. With a D-shaped biner, the hitch can easily get stuck and not flip .

So, to summarize, an HMS is a biner that is pefect for HMS belay, or simply, a pear shaped biner.
