Bofors 40 mm Anti-Aircraft Autocannon Alt Coupling by Uncle T

472 bricks.

My take on Bofors' iconic 40 mm anti-aircraft autocannon. I built the main gun for my PT Boat so I thought I'd adapt it and put it on its regular land based carriage too. It's very much a simplified approximation and not a 1:1 replica.
This one has the other coupling. Which makes more sense TBH but most vehicles seem to use this coupling on the main vehicle, not the trailers.

The Bofors 40 mm Automatic Gun L/60 (often referred to simply as the "Bofors 40 mm gun", the "Bofors gun" and the like, is an anti-aircraft autocannon, designed in the 1930s by the Swedish arms manufacturer AB Bofors. The gun was designed as an intermediate anti-aircraft gun, filling the gap between fast firing close-range small calibre anti-aircraft guns and slower firing long-range high calibre anti-aircraft guns. The Bofors 40 mm L/60 was for its time perfectly suited for this role and outperformed competing designs in the years leading up to World War II in both effectiveness and reliability.

It entered the export market around 1932 and was in service with 18 countries by 1939. Throughout World War II it became one of the most popular and widespread medium-weight anti-aircraft guns. It was used by the majority of the western Allies and some Axis powers such as ♥♥♥♥ Germany and Hungary.

The gun can be controlled from either seat so if you want to make it even harder to hit anything one player can control the elevation and one the traverse like in real life. :)
Don't forget to release the handbrake from the default seat on the right-hand side of the gun (looking along the barrel) before towing it!
It does have regular brakes too so if its being towed you can have a braker on the gun in the default seat.
