ABSTRACT:
A gun-mount for machine guns or weapons of a similar kind comprises two mutually hinged swivel arms (2,3) in staggered position the one at a higher level than the other, the lower (2) of said arms at its free end being pivotally embedded around a vertical pivot journal (4), which may be mounted e.g. on the roof of a motor vehicle at the edge of a gun pit, while the other, which is mainly formed as a vertically adjustable parallelogram connection, has fittings at its free end for pivotal fastening of a fork (14) for swivel action of a weapon.
The gun-mount has means for releasable locking of the two swivel arms in an arbitrary mutually revolving position of these. This kind of gun-mount permits the use of guns of a relatively large calibre, as the force of recoil of the weapon cannot be transferred to the gunner through the swivel arms (2,3).
