    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

    (18) In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention, and it is to be understood that the embodiments may be combined, or that other embodiments may be utilized and that structural and logical changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

    (19) According to the present invention the mobile turrets are movable, easy to install and uninstall. In modern combat the soldier use gun or rifle or other weapon to attack the enemy but to resist the attack from the enemy they don't have any shield or protecting cover. It leads to a weakening in the defense, loss of soldier as well as weapons in the war. Previously a mirror encased in a jury-rigged housing mounted to the rifle, the shooter could lift the rifle up over a trench, and looking through the periscope, fire it at a target without the shooter exposing themselves.

    (20) The use of periscope with the weapon to shoot has an advantage as the shooter can shoot without exposing their body to the enemy. The shooter can see and locate the exact location of the enemy and target the enemy. This may be enhanced with wireless adaptations to the periscope viewfinder.

    (21) The use of a seating arrangement for firing by lifting up with the rifle and other weapons by a rotatable shaft gives a reliable firing with aiming the target through the periscope. The arrangement for this must be movable so that the operator can move it anywhere on the battlefield according to their necessity.

    (22) FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the mobile turret 600 for use with a light weight semi-automatic or automatic weapon according to one of the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2a shows a various parts of the mobile turret 600 according to one of the embodiments of the present invention. FIGS. 2b and 2c depicts a close up view of the various parts of the mobile turret according to one of the embodiment of the present invention.

    (23) According to the one embodiment of the present invention a mobile turret 600 adapted for use with a light weight semi-automatic or automatic weapon. The operator (soldier combatant) in the battle field needs to fire at the enemy without exposing their own body. The mobile turret 600 comprises of a foldable base platform 603, a collapsible turret arrangement 602, an expandable periscope and a holster 601. The foldable base platform is further comprised of seat and a tripod. The collapsible turret arrangement further comprises a plurality of lever systems, a first handle control, a second handle control, a rod connector, a trigger connector, and a reload magazine slide. The expandable periscope comprises a movable tube part for adjusting the height of the expandable periscope.

    (24) The lower part of the present invention is a foldable base platform 603. The foldable base platform 603 in the present invention further comprises of a seat 715 and a tripod 701. The foldable base platform 603 is attached with collapsible turret arrangement 602. The tripod 701 in the present invention can be open wide or narrow to support the position of the mobile turret 600. The seat 715 in the present invention facilitate the operator to sit on the seat 715 which is connected to the tripod in one side and supported by one stand in another side of the seat 715.

    (25) One collapsible turret arrangement 602 is connected on the foldable base part 603. A collapsible turret arrangement 602 in the present invention comprise of a plurality of lever systems, such as lever system-1 702 and lever system-2 706, a first handle control 703, a second handle control 716, a rod connector 713, a trigger connector 714, and a reload magazine slide 704, fastening screw-1 707, fastening screw-2 711, a lever 712 and a reject lever 709. The lever system-1 702 is connected between the foldable base platform 603 and the lever system-2 706. The lever system-1 702 is fixed and rigid turret structure. The lever system-2 706 collapsible and removable turret structure. The lever system-2 706 is connected between the lever system-1 702 and the holster 601. The first handle control 703 is threaded and used for adjusting the lever/height of the collapsible turret arrangement. The first handle control 703 can also use for horizontal rotation of the mobile turret 600. The rotation of the mobile turret 600 can be clockwise or anti-clockwise and operator can also move the in 360 degree according to the necessity by using the first handle control 703.

    (26) The second handle control 716 is used to control the elevation of the weapon. The lever 712 is connected with the second handle control and the holster. When the operator pushes-up the second handle controls 716 the back part of the weapon moves upward forming a depression towards the ground. When the operator pulls-down the second handle control 716 the back part of the weapon moves downward. The reload magazine slide 704 is used to move up or down manually. The operator pushes up the reload magazine slide 704 to reload the weapon and pulls down the reload magazine slide to its original position. The reload magazine slide 704 comprises a carousel filled with magazines or ammo clips and reload magazine slide which can be moved up and down and used to load quickly new magazines to the weapon which increases weapon capacity to fire more rounds per minute.
