ABSTRACT:
A weapon mount for a weapon on an armored vehicle, wherein the weapon is mounted above the roof of the vehicle and the weapon is adjustable both as regards azimuth and elevation, and has a symmetrically arranged magazine. The weapon mount is provided with trunnion arms which engage the trunnion of the weapon, is connected to the rotatable inner race of a bearing disposed in the vehicle roof which bearing supports the turret roof and provides the azimuth alignment, and is supported with its lower one-piece end in a support bearing disposed at the floor of the vehicle. The support bearing is arranged coaxially with the azimuth bearing in the vehicle roof and the section of the weapon mount which is disposed in the vehicle between the two superposed bearings is non coaxial with the bearing and generates a surface of revolution when the mount is rotated about the bearing axis, i.e., the section of the bearing mount either has an oblique longitudinal axis or has a bend in it.
