+The Akan m/47C is a Swedish licensed variant of the British [[Hispano Mk.V (20 mm)|Hispano Mk.V]] which was itself a variant of the French [[Hispano 404 (20 mm)|Hispano 404]]. Having first received access to the Hispano Mk.V, designated [[Akan m/47B (20 mm)|Akan m/47B]], through imports of British aircraft including the de Havilland [[Vampire (Family)|Vampire]] and [[Venom FB.4|Venom]], and with their [[J29 (Family)|J29]] Tunnan suffering from delays as they attempted to iron out the issues with their new attempt to make a fighter jet, they reached an agreement with the British and licensed the Mk.V at Bofors for their new jets. The m/47C is not only different from the earlier m/47B for being a licensed design, but it also had a higher capacity at 180 rounds compared the m/47B's 150 rounds.
