The Pvpj 1110 (Pansarvärnspjäs 1110) is a Swedish 90 mm recoilless rifle. It is also widely known as Pv-1110. It entered service at the early 1960s and was phased out of service in the Swedish Army in the late 1990s after 1,600 had been produced. Some 300 weapons were transferred to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The Pvpj 1100 was typically towed by, or mounted on, a Pvpjtgb 9031 Volvo truck. From the late 1970s it has also been mounted on the Tgb 1111 and the Bv 2062 tracked carrier. For Arctic warfare it could also be fitted to a pulka and pulled by two skiers. The Pvpj 1110 is fitted with an optical sight and has an iron sight as backup. The type was used by the Irish Army in towed form, and experimentally fitted to the chassis of a Comet tank in place of the turret. Bofors AB is a Swedish arms manufacturing company. The name has been associated with the iron industry and artillery manufacturing for more than 350 years The film demonstrates the features and capabilities of the 90 mm recoilless anti-tank gun, designed for both offensive and defensive operations. It highlights the gun's lightweight, maneuverability, and versatility, making it easy to operate and transport over rough terrain by a small crew. The weapon uses various types of ammunition, including hollow charge, high explosive, and smoke shells, and has a range of up to 3,000 meters. With a simple loading and firing mechanism, the gun can be quickly positioned and fired with a high rate of fire. It is easy to transport by vehicle, air-drop, or helicopter, and can be mounted on various platforms, ensuring effectiveness in diverse combat scenarios. Its low profile and powerful firepower make it an ideal asset for modern warfare. 00:00-1:13 - The film introduces the need for a direct-fire weapon with great firepower for both offensive and defensive operations, emphasizing its mobility, simplicity, and sturdiness. 1:14-2:22 - The 90 mm recoilless anti-tank gun is introduced, designed with these qualities in mind. The weapon uses various types of ammunition, including hollow charge, high explosive, and smoke shells. 2:23-4:03 - The loading process is demonstrated. The cartridge is guided into the chamber, and the gun's design allows gases to be expelled out the rear to counteract recoil. The barrel’s suspension system ensures it stays level, even on uneven ground. 4:04-5:00 - The gun is equipped with a telescopic sight and a small caliber ranging weapon. The range for anti-tank ammunition is up to 1,200 meters, and the gun can target from 600 meters to 3,000 meters with different shells and aiming techniques. 5:01-7:12 - The firing mechanism, including safety features and firing modes, is discussed. The gun’s lightweight (230 kg) allows for easy transport and movement over rough terrain by a four-man crew. 7:13-9:12 - The gun’s versatility is highlighted, showing how it can be mounted on various vehicles, such as cross-country vehicles and assault crafts. It can also be air-dropped or transported by helicopter to difficult-to-reach areas. 9:13-12:33 - The gun’s firing position is versatile, with a 45° left and 30° right traverse, and simple aiming procedures. It has a high rate of fire (6 rounds per minute), and can quickly transition between firing and transport positions. 12:34-14:32 - The gun’s effectiveness in modern warfare is emphasized. It is easy to position, difficult to detect, and has excellent firepower, capable of penetrating the armor of heavy tanks. It is thoroughly tested for ruggedness, ease of handling, and overall effectiveness. Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.
