Above are only munitions manufactured by STK.

Reasons why I included 3GL and Redback....

3GL cooperative agreement with STK:
http://newsblaze.com/story/200802212046480...r/topstory.html

Redback explosive live firings in Singapore:

Some might recognise the other party EOS' involvement with SAF.

Field experience show firers don't normally reload GLs during engagement. 3GL triples the 40mm munition fired per GL on contact. This means infantry squad can cut down 1 GL carried and yet increase contact GL munitions fired by 50%.

What I like about the anti-armour capability is that it can penetrate 50mm RHA (63mm mild steel) for both x46 and x53 calibres, with potentially top-attack capability. As a comparison, M791 25mm bushmaster APDS-T shells only penetrate 25mm RHA at 60deg 1300m.
