Historical Significance:

The 40mm L60 Mark 2 HEIT Round was a vital component of anti-aircraft artillery systems during World War II and the Korean War. Designed for the highly effective Bofors 40mm L/60 anti-aircraft gun, these rounds played a crucial role in defending naval vessels and ground installations against enemy aircraft. The combination of high explosive, incendiary, and tracer elements made these rounds particularly effective, as they could inflict significant damage, ignite flammable materials, and allow gunners to visually track the projectile’s path.

The Bofors 40mm L/60 was renowned for its rapid rate of fire and accuracy, becoming one of the most widely used anti-aircraft guns of its era. The 40mm HEIT rounds, integral to its success, contributed significantly to Allied air defenses, providing a robust response to enemy air assaults during pivotal moments in both World War II and the Korean War.
