从1934年起直至今日,由瑞典博福斯公司研制的40毫米高炮一直在以某种形式生产着。在这64年中,这种火炮的足迹遍及陆地、海上,甚至空中,几乎被所有种类的武器平台采用过。如此辉煌的历史恐怕再没有其它火炮可以相比了。该炮的供弹机构和击发机构自1934年出现在样炮上以来,一直没人能对其结构进行本质上的改进,而只是在机械性能和可靠性方面不断得以完善。 From 1934 until today, 40-mm anti-aircraft guns developed by Bofors of Sweden have been produced in some form. During these 64 years, the artillery had traveled all over land, sea and even the air, and was used by almost all types of weapons platforms. I am afraid no other artillery can be compared with such a brilliant history. No one has been able to make substantial improvements in the structure of the artillery projectile and firing mechanism since it appeared in the cannon in 1934 but has only been able to continuously improve its mechanical performance and reliability.
