The weapon system comprises the gun barrel () mounted to a turret () via a weapon cradle (). The weapon cradle () is arranged to allow elevation movement of the gun barrel () about an elevation axis (Z). Said arrangement (A) comprises a suspension system (S) configured to provide a torque opposing imbalance of the gun barrel (). The arrangement further comprises an adjustment device () for automatically adjusting the torque provided by the suspension system (S) based on imbalance of the gun barrel () so as to dynamically counteract imbalance of the gun barrel (). The invention also relates to a vehicle with an arrangement according to the present invention.
