ABSTRACT:

BCAKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The device of the present invention relates to a gun mount for affixing a firearm to a vehicle, boat or other platform.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
When mounting a firearm such as a machine gun to a vehicle, boat or other platform it is desirable to provide a mount which will allow the firearm to be fired while facing towards the front of the platform and to be quickly and easily repositioned to a sideways and/or rearward facing position while still supporting and retaining positive control over the firearm. However, such repositioning about a single axis often requires the firearm to swing in an arc of greater that 90 degrees past a corner post or other obstruction, which may interfere with the movement of the weapon. In addition, such repositioning about a central axis may also require the operator to also reposition himself often into an inaccessible position in order to maintain a proper sightline for aiming the weapon.
The present invention solves the problems typically associated with weapon mounts having a central axis by providing two support arms interposed between a platform support bracket and a weapon support bracket. In addition, a plurality of rotational points are used which a permit the weapon to be positionable about the platform corner post while permitting the operator to maintain a stationary position in the platform.
