Dual feeding and remote control device for automatic cannon 40 mm L/70 BOFORS, with the construction of a new dual-feed device, the capacity of the arch warehouse of the standard automatic cannon 40 mm L/70 BOFORS of 26 bullets increased to 102 bullets, resulting in a much more dynamic and more efficient means with increased firepower (4 times).The device allows the selection of two types of ammunition.
