Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0417387A1] The invention relates to an armoured turret having an armoured turret housing (9) and massive front armouring (6), in which a pivotably mounted barrel weapon (1) with a diaphragm (5), cradle (2), return device and rear breech housing is arranged. <??>An ever greater projectile momentum is demanded of tank guns of the latest kind. As a result of this, the load forces for the turret and vehicle become increasingly higher and the return travels ever longer. To keep forces and travels small, the return mass has to be increased. But additional weights increase the design of the whole in a disadvantageous way. <??>According to the invention, to increase the return mass, it is proposed that existing functional parts, such as, for example, the turret-housing armouring (9) or the massive front armouring (6), be included at least partially in the return mass and, for this purpose, be mounted on the turret turntable device or within the remaining turret housing (9) so as to be displaceable (38) in the longitudinal direction of the weapon barrel or in the horizontal direction. <IMAGE>
