    Ljungman/ "Yungman" correct
    Oerlikon /Ooerlekon correct

    Might come in handy one day if you are trying to buy something in Skandi.
    Is that the Swedish pronunciation for the Swiss developed Oerlikon?

    No its the Germanic pronounciation of the region where the Gun was produced and named after.
    I think Bofors made them too or perhaps both the British and Germans made them from Bofors Steel?

    There are Italian,French and Swiss German speaking Cantons of CH.The two former languages probably say it differently.
