ABSTRACT:
A weapons system has a stationary base and an assembly that has the tube mounted on it, that pivots in the direction of elevation, and that is mounted on a trunnion in a stationary base. The center of gravity of the pivoting assembly is outside the axis of rotation of the trunnion. A torque that opposes the moment of unbalance is generated by at least one suspension mechanism consisting of at least one torsion-bar suspension mechanism, one end of which is non-rotationally secured to the base and the other end of which is secured to the weapon's pivoting assembly by way of a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism contains at least one additional suspension element.
