The GH S&F-1-01 and GH S&F-13 are two sound-and-flash hand grenade configurations produced by Arsenal Defense, Bulgaria. Both are designed for use in confined spaces by law enforcement and military units; neither contains a fragmenting body, and neither causes physiological damage in normal use.

The two models differ in body construction and submunition configuration.

The GH S&F-1-01 uses a cardboard body and produces a single combined acoustic and optical effect; it is intended for Police and Military Forces in counter-terrorist operations, hostage situations, and order-restoration actions.

The GH S&F-13 uses an aluminum body with 13 submunition containers, producing multiple sequential acoustic and flash reports – a configuration for Special Forces and law enforcement applications requiring staged disorientation in enclosed spaces. Both use the AF14 fuse with a 1.5 to 2.3 second delay and share the same NATO Stock Number.

Available for institutional procurement by ministries of defence, authorized defence contractors, and licensed importers.
