In order to customise a hand grenade which fits the palm of the small statured Asians, CIS developed the SFG 87 fragmentation grenade which is now the standard grenade for the Singapore Armed Forces. For the armoured formations, each Armoured Infantry (AI) carries a standard load of 2 x SFG 87s. These hand grenades are used for trench-clearing and fighting in built-up areas (FIBUA).
