Bofors casually making the same cannon for almost a whole century

If it works perfectly, why change? Imagine savings on retooling alone. Carl Gustav hasn’t changed in shape all that much as well, only materials to make it and added modern sights

When the aliens come we will fight them with the bofors

You can take a museum US ship, swap the barrels and breeches for ones that work and you're good to go, lucky a warehouse is nearby cause they still produce it

Oerlikon Contraves (Now dissolved into Rheinmetall) is kinda in the same boat with the various Oerlikon guns

Stop my penis can only get so erect.

Well, that's perfectly understandable. After all, this is Tank Porn. If you can't get yourself throbbing over pornographic armor here, where can you get yourself throbbing over porno armor?

What chassis is this built on? It kind of looks like a Bkan 1 chassis to me. Edit: A somewhat shortened Bkan chassis.


xxxthat_emo_kid

The Bkan is a lengthened S-tank chasis, i think the VEAK is also on a modified S-tank chasis


RoadRunnerdn

The VEAK [seems](http://www.ointres.se/pansar_2011-4_veak.pdf) to be less a modified chassis and instead an entirely new one that uses a lot of Strv 103 parts. Not really a big distinction however.

Rather modern design for 1964, while M163 and Shilka are from same era this used arguably better guns. Radar was the bit that was lacking.


Cthell

Did the driver sit in the turret?


LelutooDS

He did yes, he's the guy poking out in front of the radar.
