A remote cocking and charging device for a weapon on a weapon mount (11), the weapon having a bore axis and a rope actuated cocking and charging mechanism having a rope end exiting from the weapon. The device comprises a first rotatable pulley (6) having an axis of rotation fixedly connected to a first part of the weapon mount and positioned adjacent to and below a point of exit of said rope from said weapon positioned in the mount, a second rotatable pulley (7) having an axis of rotation fixedly connected to said first part of the weapon mount and positioned below and spaced from the first pulley, and a linearly moveable actuator arm (2) having a longitudinal axis situated substantially in a plane and substantially parallel to said bore axis, said actuator arm at an end thereof comprising a rope engagement means. The first pulley, second pulley and actuator arm are arranged so as to allow said rope exiting from said weapon in the mount to extend and run, in sequence, to and over a part of a circumferenc of the first pulley, to and over a part of a circumferenc of the second pulley, and in a rope pulling force coupling engagement with said actuator arm end. |
