A collapsible turret apparatus used for shooting having a turret base and a turret ring. The turret base is mounted to a surface with an opening, such as a surface of a camper shell and the turret ring, which can rotate 360 degrees, is connected to a collapsible two part arm. In a collapsed state, the two part arm is folded and stowed on the ceiling of a camper shell. The first arm pivots about a point where it is connected to the turret ring. The second arm pivots about a point where it is connected to the first arm. In an extendable state, the two part arm reaches out of the camper shell. The available end of the two part arm has the ability to mount shooting devices, weapons and the like. Further accessories for the two part arm can be stored on the camper shell.

A vehicle-mounted weapon station is configurable to adjust the height of a rotational elevation axis thereof. The weapon station is provided with at least one fixed hanging ammunition container that is reloadable under the armored protection of the vehicle and the weapon station shell. The weapon station may have both electrically-powered and manually-powered drive systems for rotating a pedestal about an azimuth axis relative to the vehicle, and for rotating weaponry and operational units about the elevation axis, wherein the electrical and manual drive systems transmit power through the same output gear.
