A compact universal apparatus which is mountable within an optimally sized weapons bay of a conventional fighter aircraft, which includes an automatic scissors or trapeze type lowering linkage mechanism for a conventional or inventory bomb ejector rack unit (BRU) having automatic latching, release and forced ejection mechanisms for conventional inventory weapons, characterized by an adaptor designed for the fixed attachment of the bomb ejector rack unit to the linkage of the lowering mechanism of the apparatus. The ejector rack unit is one adapted to the forced ejection of large bombs, attached or latched directly thereto, and to the rail launching of missiles having launching rails attached or latched directly to the ejector rack unit, with conventional automatic latch up of the bail lugs of the bombs to the launch rack lugs of the ejector rack unit, for forced ejection of the bombs, and with conventional automatic latch up of launch rails of conventional missiles for rail launching of the missiles.
