A carrier vehicle (1) for a tube weapon (2) having a resiliently arranged undercarriage (3) and a support arrangement (5) which in the combat-ready position is arranged between the vehicle (1) and the ground (4), with the support arrangement comprising at least one support (6). To avoid manual readjustment of the support arrangements (5), even when firing from a position with a soft underground, the supports (6), which are disposed at the tail of the vehicle (1), are arranged so as to be slidable in the direction of their longitudinal axes (7) via a positioning motor (15). The positioning motor (15) is connected to an electronic control device (16) which actuates the positioning motor (15) in a manner such that the support (6) is pressed against the ground (4) with a definable force before a shot is fired and compensation is provided for the gap (18) which occurs between the support (6) and the ground (4) after a shot has been fired because of the resilient yielding and rebounding of the undercarriage (3). |

A shell launching assembly includes a projector barrel having a smooth, inner wall and an upper end into which a shell is loaded by insertion from above. The assembly comprises an ignition mechanism disposed in a lower end of the barrel closed by a cap member. The projector barrel is positioned in a variable tilted position. A recoil brake mechanism is mounted to cushion the recoil of the projector barrel from a starting position to a recoil position upon firing a shell therefrom. The projector barrel is removably disposed with respect to the recoil brake mechanism so that the barrel may be independently used apart from the launching assembly. |

A lightweight military vehicle is provided with an unmanned turret for interchangeably supporting large weapon stations. Elastomer filled stanchions connected to a turret platform serve to isolate weapon impulse forces from the vehicle frame. Driver, commander and gunner seats are located externally to the turret and provided with said doors to enable quick exiting. Both powered and manual backup drives are external to the rotating turret disk and are accessible from the gunner's seat. The elevation drive employs a ball and socket joint connecting an upper yoke mounted to the weapon with a fixed lower portion controlling vertical movement of the yoke and thereby the elevation of the gun. |

A muzzle loading mortar constructed for mounting on a protected enclosure, for example, an armored vehicle. The mortar includes a mortar tube having an open end for receiving and discharging a projectile, and mounting means, including a tube cradle connected with a recoil-return means, are provided for mounting the tube on the enclosure. The recoil-return means includes a hydraulic member which cooperates with a spring for reducing the forces introduced into the enclosure during development of a shot from the mortar. A loading means is mounted for relative movement between the open end of the tube and the protected enclosure for muzzle loading the open end of the tube with a projectile. The loading means can be operated from within the protected enclosure to load a projectile into the mortar tube. |

WAEBER V |
An apparatus for a firing weapon mounted at a light vehicle, said firing weapon having a cradle arranged at an elevating rim and the recoil force of the weapon during firing bringing about a tilting movement of the vehicle. The cradle is pivotably arranged for movement against the action of a spring at a pivot pin which is offset with respect to the pivot axis of the elevating rim, in order to bring about a movement of the cradle which is opposite to the tilting movement of the vehicle.
