The CIS 50MG is a gas-operated air-cooled belt-fed heavy machine gun developed and manufactured by Chartered Industries of Singapore (CIS now ST Kinetics) in the late 1980s in response to a request by the Singaporean Defence Ministry to replace the 12.7mm Browning M2HB machine guns then in ubiquitous service with the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF).The aim was to have a brand new heavy machine gun design that fires the same type of .50 cal rounds as the M2HB machine guns and to have the gun parts more readily available in view of easing SAF’s chain of logistics and supplies.
