As a young platoon commander I was TC on EXACTLY this vehicle over 20 years ago. And I can confirm: Yes, the TC does ALOT of loading of the gun. I still have problems with my right shoulder. However, loading the Bofors 40mm is very different from other vehicle mounted cannons. Since there are 24 rounds in the gun you don’t normally fill it up while fireing or being fired upon so it doesn’t interfere with your other TC-tasks in combat. You back down into cover to fill the magasines from the carousell, and then the gunner and tc do it together. At the same time, the riflemen in the back can help out by breaking open new boxes from under the turret basket and restock the carousell.

If the situation allows it the troops in the back usually reloads the gun and moves rounds between the upper and lower carousel. You have to open the gate to the turret basket so you can't move the gun electrically but that's usually not such a big problem considering that the commander can focus on commanding or reloading the MG. Reload is also much faster as the as the troops don't have to bend over to move ammunition.

I'm curious how much ammo the exported 30mm and 35mm Bushmaster CV90's carry. 24 ready rounds just seems pitiful, especially if you're dividing that up into HE and AP. I'm guessing those others carry more ammo so it makes you wonder why they chose the 40mm bofors. You're not penning MBT's from the front anyways so that little bit of extra penetration is kinda meaningless. If you see something a 35mm Bushmaster can't pen you're either gonna launch an anti tank missile if you have it or get into cover. I just can't imagine many scenarios where that little bit of extra penetration makes up for the lack of ammo.

@USchyldt

Essentially, when the vehicle was designed Sweden used lots of 40 mm Bofors in the air defense. Three different generations of the gun was in use (all the way back to some obsolete WWII era guns for static air defense). There was loads of ammunition and tons of spare parts available. It was also one of Bofors main product lines which would ensure that manufacture and development would continue. (As long as the world didn't change. It did.) Introducing a new kind of gun, would mean staring an entirely new line of ammo manufacturing - or being dependent on imports.

@huntforandrew

@@barrygregory8177 We've reached the point technologically that we can fit anything a 40mm round could hold in a 35mm or 30mm round. One of the most advanced fuses in the world right now is probably being used on the 35mm Oerlikon Skyranger so size really isn't a constraint at the 30mm and up range. On top of that a 40mm round isn't gonna hold much larger HE charge than say a 35mm round, in fact it might even be less. The fact that the 40mm Bofors casing is significantly longer than the 35mm, 40x365 vs 35x228 means it has a larger charge and a higher velocity. The higher the velocity the thicker the shell has to be to not break apart when being fired. Same reason in WW2 tankers preferred the 75mm Shermans HE shell over the High Velocity 76mm. And that brings us back to my point. You have a slight increase in penetration for a serious decrease in ready ammunition. I looked it up and the 35mm Bushmaster version of the CV90 has 70 rounds ready to go. That's almost 3 times as many rounds you can fire before the commander has to stop looking out for enemies and start reloading the gun.

@@huntforandrew It is true that miniaturization has come further along now. But remember, this IFV was designed in the late 1980:ies. The arming decision was made from the technological standpoint of around 1985 or there about. The other arming options came about only after the test vehicles had been made and trials with them completed. And some of the variants were designed only after production had been completed on the first series of 9040 vehicles for Sweden. Norway (the first customer IIRC) wanted a gun with better Nato interoperability. And so did Denmark and the Netherlands - but they chose 35 mm Bushmaster over the 30 mm that Norway (and then Finland) had ordered. I don't recall the years these orders were placed, but they might have been up to ten years after the effective decision point for Sweden. As all of these countries had plenty of Bofors 40 mm in the AD or naval arsenal, it could have been a viable option for them too - but many of them was at the time looking to phase out their 40 mm L/70 AA guns, so they decided not to arm their CV90:ies with an outgoing weapon system. The technology may develop further, but it isn't the only factor that decides which weapon to choose. Far more important (in my experience) can be factors like having a stockpile of ammunition, spare parts, an existing knowledge base and logistics solution and so forth. (I had completed my basic training as a platoon leader in Swedish armored infantry in 1990, when I got to visit some of the trials om the CV9040. I got to drive one of the test vehicles from the firing range - and nearly wrecked it when we lost road grip crossing a bridge covered in gravel at around 70 kmph. But I didn't, luckily.)
