History
The Mle.51 T1 is a French-licensed version of the Bofors L/70 anti-aircraft gun. The AMX-13 DCA 40 project the Bofors gun was mounted on came about in the 1950s to replace the World War II-era M16 Multiple Gun Motor Carriage with newer more modern self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicle. The firing at a rate of 240 rounds per minute using a specially designed SAMM S 980 turret. In 1957, the turret was cancelled with the gun production ending the following year as experience from other nations showed single-barrelled anti-aircraft guns were not viable.
