(54) Turret, particularly for an armoured military vehicle, with a firearm support structure


(57) The turret (12) comprises a support structure (16) and a firearm (14) carried by the support structure (16). The support structure (16) includes a base (20) fixed to the turret (12), a connection beam (22) articulated at its front end to the base (20) around a first horizontal axis of rotation (X1), and a firearm-carrying beam (18) articulated at its rear end to the rear end of the connection beam (22) around a second horizontal axis of rotation (X2) parallel to the first. The firearm (14) is received in the firearm-carrying beam (18) so as not to project out from the back thereof. At least one first linear actuator is interposed between the base (20) and the connection beam (22) to control the rotation thereof around the first axis of rotation (X1) and at least one second linear actuator is interposed between the connection beam (22) and the firearm-carrying beam (18) to control the rotation thereof around the second axis of rotation (X2).
