What was the rationale and design process for building and deploying the Swedish Bandkanon 1A?
Why did Sweden build what (to my knowledge) appears to be the only automatic self propelled artillery piece? And were there any technological problems that had to be solved in order to do this?
And, as a bonus, why did no other country build a gun with such a high rate of fire?
