Background:

The 40mm Bofors was arguably the most successful weapon of its type. The initial design was developed in the 1930's and quickly became the firms most successful weapon. It quickly became internationally recognized as a superior intermediate anti-aircraft weapon and was widely used during the Second World War, and was adopted by 29 different countries. The Bofors had the advantage that it could be operated whilst still in its towing position and did not need the outrigger legs to be deployed. With a Director system, it could also be fired remotely, so only needed someone to load the gun, meaning that any inexperienced soldier could be used if necesssary.
