Default 40mm gun

Glad you got it sorted...

The Bofors gun was very well known to take fingers off. The way that chap in the video closed that breech... wow.... he is lucky not to loose fingers. As you know the ejection cams fly forward when the round is chambered, this releases the bolt, which SLAMS upwards and auto fires.

The bofors is an auto cannon, so is designed to fire .. ie firing pin forward, when the bolt slams upwards.

There is a single shot mode on the side, Can you not use the rammer to load and fire it in one action.. ie drop a round in and release the rammer.. It will ten fly forward and load the round and fire it in one movement.

I have got spare rammers if you need one somewhere.

Brad
