The STK 40 GL, formerly the CIS 40 GL[a] is a 40 mm grenade launcher, developed in the late 1980s and produced by the Singaporean defense firm Chartered Industries of Singapore (currently ST Engineering). The launcher is employed primarily by the Singapore Armed Forces and the police and security forces of several other countries.[1]
Design
According to ST Kinetics Senior Engineer Felix Tsai, the STK 40 GL can be configured to be used with a buttstock or attached underneath assault rifles like the SAR 21, the M16 rifle and HK series.[2]
