    Off the top of my head the armament for the Landsverks was:-

    1 X Madsen 20mm AT Gun

    2 x Madsen .303 MG's.

    In 1974 five of the Lansverk had 1 X 20mm Hispano-Suiza cannon fitted
    but was not a great success has the rate of fire was reduced to 600rpm which lead to frequent jamming.

      As far as I know they were ex-Air Corps .30 (US .30-06) Brownings. They replaced the Madsen's between 1956-1957.

        Hi there,
        Air Corps Brownings were only in .303. They were metal-link-fed fixed mounting guns from scrapped fighters or turret mounts such as the Hudson. I was told once that the Brownings on the Unimogs came with them.

          Brownings only mounted on Unimogs for a very short time as Mount was designed for GPMG and when passed into service the Browning was replaced by the Bren.
