the swedish bandkanon
Bandkanon 1 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaIt had an exceptionally high rate of fire, being able to fire 14 shells in 45 seconds. With one round already loaded in the gun beside the two seven-round clips in the magazine, the rate of fire rose to 15 rounds in 45 seconds. The magazine could then be reloaded with a built in hoist in about 2 minutes. Each shell had a weight of 47 kg and a tactical range of 25 km. The gun was designed to fire tactical nuclear rounds, but as Sweden decided to not produce nuclear weapons, this feature never came into use.
