The 40mm L60 Mark 2 Mod 5 HEIT Round was a crucial component of anti-aircraft artillery systems used during World War II and the Korean War. Designed for the Bofors 40mm L/60 anti-aircraft gun, this round was instrumental in defending naval vessels and ground installations against enemy aircraft. The high explosive incendiary tracer round combined several functions: the high explosive to damage or destroy targets, the incendiary component to ignite fuel or other flammable materials, and the tracer element to allow gunners to visually track the projectile’s trajectory.
The Bofors 40mm L/60 was one of the most effective and widely used anti-aircraft guns of its time, renowned for its rapid rate of fire and accuracy. The Mark 1 Mod 1 Brass Case provided a durable and reliable casing for the round, ensuring its performance under the demanding conditions of combat. The combination of the L60 Mark 2 Mod 5 round and the Bofors gun played a significant role in the success of Allied air defenses during critical wartime engagements.
