<p>A gun mount for machine guns or weapons of a similar kind comprises two mutually hinged swivel arms in staggered position, the one at a higher level than the other, the lower of the arms at its free end being pivotally mounted around a vertical pivot journal, which may be mounted e.g. on the roof of a motor vehicle at the edge of a gun pit, while the other, which is mainly formed as a vertically adjustable parallelogram connection, has fittings at its free end for pivotal fastening of a fork for swivel action of a weapon. The gun mount has a mechanism for releasable locking of the two swivel arms in mutually pivoted positions. This gun mount permits the use of guns of a relatively large calibre, as the force of recoil of the weapon cannot be transferred to the gunner through the swivel arms.</p> |
