Mr Monkey at the Kvibergs Military Historical Museum


"The grey one looks strangely flimsy to me"

Opposite the sledge, Mr Monkey saw these two artillery pieces. The grey one is a 8.4cm piece built in 1881, which was the first breechloading cannon made in Sweden. It didn't have anything to cope with recoil, though. The green gun is a 7.5cm Krupp-Bofors m/02-33, a 1902 design modified in 1933. Both of these were horse drawn.
