A remote controlled surveillance and weapon system comprising a tubular, generally annularly symmetrical multiple fire weapon having an optical scope coaxially arranged in the throat thereof. An electronic image sensor is optically coupled with the scope and provides an image to a video surveillance screen at a remote station. Movement and firing of the weapon are performed from the remote station according to a view along the axis of symmetry of the weapon as viewed on the video surveillance screen. In a preferred form diametrically opposed pairs of firing bores are fired simultaneously so as to balance recoil forces about the axis of symmetry and thereby maintain alignment of the weapon and scope with a target being fired upon.
