Bofor E/L70 40 Firing

A view from the number 2 seat of the Bofors E/L70 40 firing. Had a stoppage at the end. For some reason the feed paws were not moving the rounds down onto the shift tongue and just started crushing them. Happened a few times that day. All were cleared quickly and the damaged rounds were later destroyed by the good men from EOD

Just don't expect to wheeling it around by yourself as it weights in at a beefy 5 and a half tonnes without ammo and fuel
