Hi all,

Two images from https://samlinger.natmus.dk/assetbrowse ... 3%A6stning

I think probably these images were taken after surrender of Germany in 1945...

How did this weapon compare to the 40mm bofors? Superior? Inferior?

Superior in ease of production and rate of fire.
Inferior in muzzle velocity and shell weight/impact.

Could the minengeschoss style munitions make up for their smaller shells?
