Comments by "" (@TheArklyte) on "Russian S-60 57mm Anti-Aircraft Gun Review | SOVIET AIR DEFENSE" video.
Incorrect question since Bofors has their own 57mm gun and during WWII soviets had 37mm and 45mm Bofors copies. With 45mm being only prototype not chosen for production. If that was the right decision remains to be seen and was a hot topic(power vs weight and price) for years. Tbh I was leaning more towards 45mm one exactly because post war both Bofors and soviets developed bigger 57mm version ie real battlefield experience had likely proven that bigger round with more explosive filler and higher kinetic energy was better. 45mm definitely is better option for "fuze setter" solution and for being dual purpose as it can actually pose threat to even some medium tanks.

@WingcommanderLuna armies? Maybe. Navies? Nope, those are quite widespread guns.
