The sextuple Bofors mount sought pom-pom volume with Bofors performance

Was the sextuple 40 mm Bofors Mark VI intended to combine pom-pom volume of fire with Bofors performance?

Yes; it sought to replace a quadruple pom-pom position with six longer-ranged, more accurate Bofors barrels.

The sextuple installation tried to unite the strengths of two British medium anti-aircraft systems. Six Bofors barrels could replace a four-barrel pom-pom position while adding the Bofors weapon's range and accuracy. The older pom-pom still mattered because its concentrated rate of fire placed a formidable wall of steel in an attacker's path. A mount's total fire volume can matter as much as the headline performance of one barrel.
