7,5 cm gun m/40

The 7.5 cm gun model 40 was manufactured by Bofors in the late 1930s.

Before motor vehicles were introduced into the Swedish military, six horses were required to pull the gun. A crew of seven people was needed to maintain a firing rate of 15-20 rounds per minute, with a maximum range of up to 15,000 meters!

The gun is mounted on an L-carriage (gun mount), and when firing, the support legs are extended to the sides to secure the cannon.
