Brilliant. You can see the Bofors design characteristics back to the WW2 era 40mm Bofors.
Basically the majority of gun uses the same principle since ww2 and onward, there not much new invention since then, many are upgrade and inovation of the existing gun. Like how the bofor in the vidio is the mark 110 from a gun that was developed back in the 1970s.
Well I am gonna be that guy and say sorry now
@@coolyeah2410 the Bofors 40mm which the 57mm is derived from first entered service as a towed medium AA gun in 1938.
@@coolyeah2410 So if the gun and loading mechanism is from ww2 and basically simple mechanics, how come US Navy BUYS them from Swedish Bofors? Albeit there might be a production license and they are produced in US... but still the Licens costs on that.
@@petergrandien1440 Well the bofor guy make it since WWII, so ofc they hold the right to their mechanism
since everything in britain is brilliant, what is the next step up from that? we have brilliant too but it comes later on, we only use it if something is truly brilliant
What a gun the Bofors has turned out to be. First produced for the Swedes in 1930 it has stood the test of time and war to prove itself a superbly brilliant weapon. And its story isn't finished yet!!
Absolutely correct! During the Falklands war/conflict. The RFA LSL Knights of the Round Table. Had two 40mm Bofors In two weapon pits at the bow. 11 Ciels Squadron Royal Engineers. Built stands for twin light machine guns. Recalibered BREN's also of WW2 vintage. For anti aircraft defence. Situated at the galley entrances and on the flight deck.On board the LSL Sir Bedivere. 1 Raiding Squadron Royal Marine Commandos also on board positioned their GPMG's on the gunnels. Amidships. This proved effective. A 1000lb "return to sender" bomb. Hit the ariels, crane and bow before going into the water without exploding. The ship was also credited with shooting down an Argentine Mirage. Most likely the Bofor's did the damage.
Es el AK de la artillería
Alright, now, how do those four stacks get distributed to the one breech? That's what I want to see next.
It shows you - automatic feed - also reloads while firing...
Given that the magazines have parallel stacks I would assume each stack squeezes, sequentially, into a single feed and the gun itself has a double feed breach. Would be interesting to have confirmation of it.
@@alloy299 Four into two into on, with selectable gates at each 'branch' The original concept was to have multiple types of ammunition available depending on the target. Current usage is programmable multi-function projectiles that are 'told' what to do as they are fired, so ammo choice is less of a critical need. Except 'dumb' solids for practice/
Star wheel. Look up the 90mm automatic AA gun
@@5678sothourn Hi, could you post a link to the specific gun system to which you refer, please? There are several designs out there, and I am not familiar with this “star wheel” feed mechanism.
Every home in America needs one.
* has one.😂
Should have included the spent shell casing ejection in the animation.
this is really a clever innovation over the classic bofors magazine fed system from wwii, you keep the mature system, and replace the part of using manpower to fed the magazine with machine, i like this kind of combining the old and new.
I don't suppose you have to reload Bofors like this very often, there can't be many problems you can't solve with 40 rounds of 57mm.
It can one-shot an aircraft, can one-shot or 3-shot a modern vessel, and hit almost 98% of the time depending on the electronics of the platform so...
現代なら大量のミサイル飽和攻撃対策が必須だからなあ
40 of very inmediate use, 120 inside the turret... 240 total on a corvette like that, maybe more? 300, 360?
Excellent piece of mechanical engineering.
Great video as always. I wish I could have one for home defence and hunting purposes.
Do you like your prey turned into red mist?
@@senatuspopulusqueromanus2082 Yes
it's so much easier when you can eat them through a straw.
Me too. I recently started using one of these as my CCW and absolutely love it!
Really useful as an anti-government official deterrent!
Awesome! Thanks for these great animations!!
すっげー！リロードするんだ！
って驚いたらマガジンロードまでするの？！
実質装弾数無限やんか・・・
Great yet simple explaination video. I like it. Well done
Great video!
My dad was on a 40 mm Bofors on Remagen Bridge during WW2.
Perfect explination. Thank you for uploading.
Great video! Thanks. It seems as if the Bofors was the only thing that remotely worked….at all!
really thx. always wondered about all cannon's feeding system
中身、こうなってるんだねぇ（感嘆）
Nice! Cleared that up for me.
As someone who served in the Navy, I got to see that cannon in action during scheduled drills that were conducted to ensure it was seaworthy, as well as simply operating at peak condition. Whenever you were walking anywhere in the ship, and that thing went off, you could feel the vibrations throughout the ship go up your feet. And we all wear heavy steel toed, black leather boots!!
No one cares
@@dmoney8602you typed so you do care you know?
Brillaint. Light weight. This gun shoots more explosive per min than the 76mm super rapid
I’m sold, I’ll take two.
こいつの仕組み前からずっっと気になってたから知れてマジで嬉しいw
すごくわかりやすいです！
Thanks! Awesome video!
Ack ack gun My Grandad was on them in WW2 . After Dunkirk he was injured so was stationed on the AA guns ..He called them Ack Ack guns . So many stories but he always said it was one of the best jobs he ever had in the War .
If you look at WW2 Bofors they alternated between 2 stack the sailors loaded, I expect with the ability to select which stack they "stripped" a round from that could likely be the simple change in rotation of the feeder would pick HE from the right, or AA frag from the left. Given the magazines can move too, the ready rounds could be a mix of 10 each of 4 different rounds. so you could have cheap solids and AP in in the mix. a 10 round burst off solids across the bow could probably reloaded with HE/AP depending on the target just threatened. Slick system, and that is what is in the turret, 80 ready rounds full of pain to go down range. Now the modern turret shape makes more sense.
What you're saying is true. Problem is the mentality of the average person has gone substantially downhill. Apparently the more technology that gets put into the Public's hands they become dumb down. Unless they join the armed forces and have someone knock some sense into them.

Genius!
What is the extraction system, where do spent casings go?
Very interesting.
Do a video for the 40mm 76mm 127mmm
Thanks.
interesting thanks. nice models
Anyone know what the short term rate of fire (e.g. the first 20 rounds) vs long term (e.g. until the ship runs out) is? What limits the long term rate; heat or being secured to load from the hoists?
なんて解りやすい動画なんだ！
Мощно, надёжно, эффективно. Только целей для таких пушек мало.
great animation. congratuations.
Very good. Can you have it on concealed carry?
Interesting design. Never would of thought of that.
Genial! Dieses Nachladesystem ist gut durchdacht.
That was so cool.
as a naval main in War Thunder, this was quite interesting.
How long is reload of stacks? Does ship have to disengage during reload?
Right On I always wanted to know
Brilliant. I love it.
terima kasih pencerahaannya...jadi tambah mengerti
リロードがスケベ過ぎる
After you cycle 120 rounds through that gun I don't recommend toughing the barrel for a while.
Exactly, not even if it's a water cooled version.
i think water cooling can be easily added, but yeah, after shooting for a while barrel will get deformations and will need replacement.
yep , that looks like it would work flawlessly all the time.
LA VERDAD MUY BUEN VIDEO TE FELICITO NUNCA VI ALGO TAN BIEN EXPLICADO !!!
Seems like there's good potential for ammo jamming.
thats brillaint
Awesome awesome awesome!!!!
Bofors?
BOFOR DEEZ NUTS OOOOOOOOH GOTTEM
Can the magazines been reloaded while the gun is firing?
I like this powerful warships
Ok, but where do the shell cases go?
Typically, the empties are kicked out under the gun on a chute going forward. In this case there would be a hole in the front of the turret. I suppose there could be a system for collecting the empties in a bin, but it would have to be part of the mount, and from the cutaway view there doesn't appear to be enough room, so they're likely discarded overboard
They roll around on deck.
Uhhh……ooops! LOL
Here at Aperture Science we fire the whole bullet. That’s 66% more bullet, per bullet
where does the shell casing go?
ejected out the front onto the deck usually, dont know this specific one.
amazing
今までの艦砲と違って砲の下に弾倉部分を用意しなくてよいのは色んな船に使えて良いね。オートメラーラのやつは下の弾倉デカかったからなぁ
ここまでの構造を見ると芸術作品に見えてきますね。
Incredibly smart, 120 rounds on the turret before relosding (and able to reload while firing if needed)
So frikin awesome!!
Works well
Great Video! Hats off!
Pirates will hate this thing
Bofors 🤘🏻💪🏻
Seria possivel instalar essa torre no M1?
即応弾撃ち切ったら再装填が終わるまで主砲は定位置で固定されるのは給弾が終わるまで火力投射量が低下するんかな？
May I ask what soft do you use to produce such stunning 3D presentation?
結局、オートメーション化されても給弾方法は、昔のポンポン砲・日本の２５ｍｍ機銃と一緒だったのか！
でも、砲塔内に120発あるのはすごいと思うわ。即応弾がたくさんあっていいね
great vid
good visualisation - where you get datashit for render?
This is totally amazing. I had no Earthly idea those deck guns were so powerful and durable.
This video tells you nothing about either of the two...
@@novacolonel5287 Thumbs down.
57 mm gun isn't that powerful, not when you're shooting at enemy ships that are 10,000 tons!
@@dundonrl Wait.....that gun would utterly destroy the bridge of an enemy ship. The bridge, the CIC.....etc. How about exploding a few shells right over the enemy missile launch tubes?
You have to get within range first! Also, you take out the bridge on a modern destroyer you're still not disabling the ship, it's still capable of fighting. Yes, you take out CIC and it's game over, but I'm not sure that it can penetrate into the CIC on say an Arleigh Burke DDG. It would be interesting to see, but I don't think the US Navy would sacrifice one of it's active duty warships for a test like that!@@rael5469
Great Job
イメージとしては「弾倉」「即応弾薬クリップ」「弾薬クリップ用予備弾」
が上にあってそれ以上必要なら下から上がってくる感じか。
Very interesting
Can this be carried appendix style?
nice engineering
When the Bofors 40mm won't cut it anymore?
What if it is fired on modern battle tank with 57mm APFSDS round?
Stripper clip tech from the 1800s still doing work in the 21st century.
砲塔内のストックが無くなったら終わりか・・・と思ったら足せるとは。凄い仕組み。
127mmのMk45やオートメラーラとか76mm砲の解説もぜひお願いしたいです。
Now show us how ammo is loaded into the ship's magazine in port :)
Where are the empty cartridges going?
Great animation, it was very clear. How long does a full reload take? It seems like it would take quite some time.
The animation is in slow motion. Everything goes much faster in reality
@@joakimwohlfeil Agreed. Irl I think it might take 20-30 seconds total?
At the bottom ammunition hoist was it manually loaded by crew or was it a conveyer belt system?
The fact that it is fixed and required a stationary gun to get the ammunition up there leads me to believe that no crew is involved in filling the ammunition host. If the system would rotate with the gun, it would be much more challenging to design a system without any crew involved, but it would result in shorter breaks for reloading as you could move ammunition into the ready magazines in the gun while the gun is still fireing at other targets.
@@xxnightdriverxx9576 not really, as the gun itself needs those breaks to not overheat the metal.
Good animation ! 👍
Now let’s see an animation of how they did it the old fashion way in WWII in the heat of battle with manpower !
I'd like to see real time. Thanks for the video.
Amazing
凄ぇ。でっかいクリップ式みたいな装填を繰り返してるのか。
So is the gun out of service while the ammo elevator is in use? or did it just look like that from the animation?
Thats part of a conscious design compromise.
@@jintsuubest9331 so yes? Thanks.
Superb video!
Good im rating 100/1
Just subbed i like these stuff
This is what you get, when you mate a Bofors 40mm, with a British 6lber...
they actually have a modernized version of the Bofor 40mm L60 called the Bofors 40mm L70, and if your wondering, they do have a twin barreled CIWS of it called the OTO Melara Dardo.
Complete 👍🏻
Interesting
Is there an option to mount two 57mm guns, similar to the twin 40mm Bofors mounts of WWII? And will these mounts be used on new destroyers and frigates?
It doesn't need that.
Many guns was a solution to counter low-ish accuracy; this thing just hits reliably enough instead.
New US (Constellation class) and UK (Type 31) frigates will have one of them. 2 would be overkill.
Works great as long as you definitely only want one kind of ammunition. Although I would guess the 2 sides could be configured separately to get 2 kinds and feed selectively to the gun.
missing fuctionnning of atomatic canon , alimentation with 4 vertical mag, and ejection of empty case, ..... but your works is awsome thanks....
I want one!
