bofors 40 mm gun

The Bofors 40 mm gun is a famous autocannon designed by the Swedish firm of Bofors. It is often referred to simply as the Bofors gun.

History

The Bofors gun originated in a 1920s requirement by the Swedish Navy. It was sold to several countries and was being produced under license in Poland as Armata p-lot 40mm wz.36 Bofors. The Polish 40mm anti-air guns were also exported to United Kingdom and were used on all theatres of World War II. It is still in use—for example in the Swedish Army's current infantry fighting vehicle, the Combat Vehicle 90. Breda of Italy uses the Bofors 40 mm L/70 gun in its anti-aircraft weapon system for the Italian army and navy.
