Well that's what he says anyway.
The downside is that it won't fit in the garage very well.

I call BS. When he shoots a burst of rounds, the last one is fired with the muzzle no where near where the first one was fired and they hit a decent group. I'd like an actual artillery military person to comment on what they think, but I still think it was faked, the gun may be real but modified for this trickery.
the mannequin shot is definitely fake, you can see the explosion and it goes to the side, not backwards.
Apparently he's never met these civilians.

I noticed the barrel rising too.. and I thought the shell through the manniquinn would have just punched a good size hole through it.

Maybe he winged it? Maybe the muzzle-blast vaporized it?
Having seen a Bofors in action, I'm surprised at the uncontrolled recoil from that 40mm.

the flash/smoke originated from the mannequin, not from left of shot like it would if it had come from the gun.

yea i saw that too. the muzzle angle changed like 20* and the 3rd or 4th shot shown hit lower than the first 2.
I think the muzzle rise vs. impact group controversy is more from editing than a true fake. The gun looks legit to me. (Of course, I'm no expert in WWII era European AA guns.)
I can't imagine what those rounds must cost. I'll stay with the smallbore stuff.

Bofors designed the gun, it has been built under license by many countries.
