* {{Specs-Link|vampire_fb5_j28b|short}}

== General info ==
''Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.''

=== Comparison with analogues ===
''Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.''

== Usage in battles ==
''Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against notable opponents. Please don't write a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.''

== History ==
''Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>.''

-The Akan m/47B is the Swedish designation for the British [[Hispano Mk.V (20 mm)|Hispano Mk.V]] which was itself a modified licensed variant of the French [[Hispano 404 (20 mm)|Hispano 404]]. The Mk.V came to Sweden on the de Havillard [[Vampire (Family)|Vampire]] fighter jets one of the earliest series of successful jets in the post-war period. In 1946, not long after the RAF adopted it, Sweden purchased 50 Mk.1s as a stopgap while the J29 program was being completed. In 1949, when an official export variant of the [[Vampire FB 5]] entered the market, Sweden began order more of these jets. In Sweden the FB 5 variant of the Vampire was designed the J28 or [[A28B]] based on the armament configurations of the aircraft. However, regardless of the configuration, both version used the same Hispano Mk.V cannon that was developed in World War II, which were designated the Akan m/47B by the Swedes.
