ABSTRACT:
A cardanically suspended movable turret having a tubular weapon mounted therein so that the bore axis of the barrel of the weapon intersects the vertical rotational axis of the turret and lies in between the elevation axis of the turret suspension and the center of gravity of the turret. By moving the bore axis closer to the center of gravity in this manner, the torque exerted on the turret during firing as a result of the recoil force is reduced.
