Bofors Automatic gun\n M\/40<\/a> was refurbished, modified, and equipped with the Reflex Sight 308.\n
These cannons were given the suffix \"-70\" because the upgrade took place in the mid-1970s, hence 20 mm AKAN m\/40-70. \n
\n <\/p>\n

The cannon was used in infantry, air defense, and artillery as both an anti-aircraft and anti-tank gun. \n
It had a rate of fire of 370 rounds per minute and a range of 5 km.<\/p>\n

This gun, like the original M\/40, was mounted on vehicles, trailers, ships, and also used in fixed installations. Some mounts (gun supports) were mobile, and when dismounted, both the gun and the mount could be carried. <\/p>\n

Sights and mounts were manufactured and modified based on how the 20 mm AKAN m\/40-70 would be used. The designation of the equipment was supplemented with numbers or letters to specify the features of that particular variant. For example, the 20 mm AKAN m\/40-70-2 is equipped with a mirror reflex sight.<\/span><\/p>\n
