Shocked World! Sweden once made the Bandkanon, the Unbeatable Fastest Artillery.

Fastest Firing Artillery Of Its Kind Ever Built.

Sweden has traditionally been a fairly good military power. This is how his modernization efforts resulted in the unusual but deadly new artillery.

During the twentieth century, Sweden developed many weapons above their class even though it was not a superpower. From the Swedish K SMG to the AT4, Swedish guns have won American orders and proven themselves to be excellent in the field. However, one of Sweden's most attractive and innovative designs was never exported. The Bandkanon 1 self-propelled howitzer was a Swedish design with only twenty-six vehicles built.

It still holds the record for being the fastest firing artillery system of its caliber. It has the ability to empty its entire magazine of fifteen shells in forty-five seconds, a world record. While the Bandkanon were never exported and were discontinued in 2003, the legacy of their magazine-style loading system lives on in Sweden's new Archer artillery system. But how did Bandkanon shoot so fast?

Why does Sweden want such a system?

To answer those questions, we must look at the circumstances that brought about the development of the Bandkanon. In the late 1940s, Sweden had a desperate need to modernize its artillery, as most of it was turn-of-the-century vintage. For most of the requirements, foreign-designed artillery fulfilled the requirements and was purchased. In contrast, the requirements for a heavy self-propelled artillery piece was set extremely high. This is where the extremely high rate of fire requirement came around, as the HQ wanted a rate of fire of fifteen rounds per minute for the self-propelled artillery piece.

The reasons for this are not exactly clear, but some speculation exists.

The Swedish military didn’t field multiple rocket launchers (MLRs) (such as the BM-21 Grad or M270 MLRs) during the Cold War at all, so the use of conventional artillery that has similar capability to MRLs would allow the Swedish artillery to fulfill two roles with one platform, making it more economical.

The Bandkanon was also designed with a fast automated loading system that allowed it to prepare for a second fire mission much faster than MRLs. In addition to this,

Swedish studies also came to the same conclusion as Soviet ones after WWII: that a fast rate of fire is desirable as artillery inflicts the most casualties at the beginning of the barrage when soldiers have not yet hunkered down in bunkers or fortified positions.

To fulfill these requirements, the Bandkanon required a design radically different from existing self-propelled artillery. Most self-propelled artillery at the time was laid out similar to tanks, with the gun breech being enclosed in a manned turret.
