Abstract

A gun system in particular a towable howitzer has a cradle assembly 3 carring a gun 1, a base structure 13, and trail legs 11 having a forward portion connected to the base structure 13, a rear portion adjacent the ground and a raised intermediate portion to which the cradle assembly 3 is pivotally mounted at 7. The gun cradle 3 is elevated by means of elevating arms 41 which are locked against the trail legs 11 (in position 41a) when the system is in a transportation configuration. In this configuration support rails 5 are raised to position 5a and the gun 1 is retracted to position 1a along the rails 5. Alternatively (Fig.4, not shown), the gun 1 may be rotated about trunnions 7, (11) to such a position. The raised intermediate portion of the trail legs 11 relative to the height of the centre of gravity of the cradle (gun maintains stability of the system under recoil. <IMAGE>
