Yikes... a working Bofors 40mm ? Hmmm ?
Here are links to it's appearance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bofors_40_mm_gun Though I'm sure you already know.
I'd agree that the difficulty in rigging a model gun to fire blanks would be extreme... it would be more simply solved with compressed air and effects
Check this link for a guy who did .50 cal guns in 1/20th.. you might contact him: http://www.pt-boat.com/50CAL/browning-50-cal.html
An impressive engineering / modelling problem... I WISH YOU LUCK !!

If you are looking to have the sound and smoke but not the hassle of having to re-load it each time. Why not construct the gun out of standard construction model ply or balsa, and then use a smoke generator and sound system.

You may wish to try some Model Warship Combat websites, they have articles etc. how to make (and control!) guns fired using compressed air.
