A weapon mount for controlling targeting of a weapon includes a base, an arm that extends from the base, and an attachment component that is rotatably coupled with the arm. The base is attachable to a platform and is rotatable to control a yaw of the weapon relative to the platform. The attachment component is configured to couple with the weapon and is rotatable to control a pitch of the weapon relative to the platform. The arm is positioned relative to the base so that a recoil vector of the weapon is within 0.5 inches radially of an axis of rotation of the base.

In one aspect the invention features a weapon maintenance stand that includes a base plate, a support flange, and a wall structure. The support flange is spaced from the base plate and defines a first plurality holes extending through the support flange. A subset of the first plurality of holes are configured to match a pattern of bolt holes of a deck-mounted weapon system and at least one of the first plurality of holes is configured to receive an alignment structure of the deck-mounted weapon system. The wall structure is attached to the base plate at a first end and attached to the support flange at a second end. The wall structure defines at least one tunnel extending through the wall, with the at least one tunnel being sized to accept umbilical components of the deck-mounted weapons system.

A shooting-stability platform with three rotational degrees of freedom is disclosed. The platform improves shooting accuracy and safety by lessening recoil effects. And because of the rotational degrees of freedom, the operator still has substantial freedom to position the firearm as desired.

The present invention relates to a body (2) located on an air vehicle; at least one weapon (W) located on the body (2) to attack a target; a carrier (3) that allows the weapon (W) on the body (2) to be moved and carried as desired by the user; at least one rail (4) which extends longitudinally on the body (2) and allows the carrier (3) to move in the direction it extends; a plurality of housings (5) located on the rail (4); at least one pin (6) located on the carrier (3) so as to be form-fitted and opposite to the housings (5); the pin (6) having a locked position (I) in which the pin (6) contacts the housing (5), thereby fixing the carrier (3) on the rail (4), and a free position (II) in which the user triggers the pin (6) to cut its contact with the housing (5) so that the carrier (3) can be moved and brought on the rail (4).
