United States M1 Bofors Gun

The United States Army had recently introduced a 37 mm gun of their own design, but found it to be of limited performance. Six British Bofors (themselves based on a Swedish design 1931) were imported for testing and proved to be superior in all areas. In US Army service, the Bofors was known as the 40 mm Automatic Gun M1. The US version of the gun fired three variants of the British Mk. II high-explosive shell as well as the M18A1 armor-piercing round, which was capable of penetrating some 50 mm of homogeneous armor plate at a range of 500 yards. contents: this blister pack contains 2x United States M1 Bofors Gun
