269 shots!

Coastal artillery cannon m/50 with calibre of 10,5 cm and made by Bofors was developed during end of 40's and beginning of 50's for the Swedish coastal artillery. The only existing piece is based at the Battery Arholma fired 269 shots in total between 1968-1992. That is equal to 11,20 shots per year which depended on that the installation was not used on a permanent base. It was used only for limited parts of the year for the training of the conscripts.
