Скачать или смотреть 40mm shift: Why the WW2 Vickers gun targeted tanks instead of aircraft

The Vickers 40mm Class S gun was created in the late 1930s and was initially used as a defensive weapon for bomber aircraft during the Second World War.

Now one of these weapons sits in a massive collection of airborne artifacts at MOD Stafford, ready to go on display at the RAF Museum Midlands in Cosford.

It has a magazine that holds 15 rounds and can fire at a rate of two rounds per second, meaning it could empty its magazine in less than eight seconds.
