ULTIMAX 100 LIGHT MACHINE GUN

The Ultimax 100 is a Singaporean 5.56mm light machine gun, developed by the Chartered Industries of Singapore (CIS, now ST Kinetics) by a team of engineers under the guidance of American firearms designer L. James Sullivan. The gun is extremely accurate due to its low recoil.

Work on a new light support weapon for the Singapore Army began in 1978. The weapon is produced by CIS (presently STK Singapore Technologies Kinetics), initially in the Mark 1 version, later the Mark 2, and currently, in the Mark 3 and Mark 4 variant. The Ultimax 100 (also called the U 100) is used in significant numbers by the armed forces of Singapore, Croatia and the Philippines.
