Bofors Gun Firing

[Flying10uk]

I was watching a documentary recently which contained some achieve film footage of Bofors guns in action in /France following D-Day. Part of the footage seemed to show single shells being passed to the gun, as single shells rather than in 5 round clips, and then fed into the gun as single shells, from the top. It wasn't 100% clear that the shells were not put into clips at the gun but the impression was that the gun was being fed with single shells/multiple single shells.

I thought that Bofors guns could only be fed with 5 round clips of shells and not single shells/multiple single shells. Could a Bofors gun be fed with single shells/multiple single shells or could they only be fed with 5 round clips?

Many thanks
