class: AAA description: The Bofors 40 mm gun, often referred to simply as the Bofors gun, is an anti-aircraft autocannon designed in the 1930s by the Swedish arms manufacturer AB Bofors. It was one of the most popular medium-weight anti-aircraft systems during World War II, used by most of the western Allies as well as some captured systems being used by the Axis powers. A small number of these weapons remain in service to this day, and saw action as late as the Persian Gulf War. introduced: 1934 manufacturer: Bofors origin: Sweden price: 8 role: Anti-Aircraft Gun variants: Bofors 40 mm Gun: {} QF 40 mm Mark III: introduced: 1939 hit_points: 1
