BoforsBofors is an iron works, cannon maker, and defence industry located in Karlskoga, Sweden. The company was founded in 1873. The name Bofors is strongly associated with a 40 mm anti-aircraft gun based on a Bofors design which was produced and used by both sides during World War 2, and often called simply the Bofors Gun. The gun saw service on land and sea, and became so widely known that anti-aircraft guns in general were often referred to as Bofors guns. Bofors is today split in two parts: See also: Bofors Scandal, List of modern armament manufacturers External links
