An L/60 pom-pom could combine range and rate of fire

What if Britain developed an L/60 pom-pom instead of adopting the Bofors gun?

An improved pom-pom could retain its rapid-fire mechanism while approaching Bofors range, potentially removing the need for the Bofors in British service.

The proposed weapon is not simply a renamed Bofors: it preserves the pom-pom's preferred breech and high firing rate while extending ballistic performance. If Britain achieved roughly comparable range without giving up that rate of fire, the domestic design could become the fleet's standard medium anti-aircraft gun.
