ABSTRACT:
A handwheel assembly for a weapon system including a main gun using link fed ammunition and a co-axially mounted machine gun mounted in a turret rotatably positionable in a armored vehicle. The linked ammunition for the main gun is stored in a rectangular shaped ammunition box positioned diametrically in the turret basket. The handwheel assembly is characterized in that it has manual trigger and main gun elevation assembly that includes a mechanical connection between the trigger and the trigger switch which does not rotate with the trigger and handwheel. The link eject chutes for the main gun, which can be a dual fed 25 millimeter gun, include guide strips for guiding the tab members of the links through the chute channels and thereby preventing jamming.
