Abstract
A turret assembly for an armored vehicle has an opening in its top wall and a weapon chamber member therein below that opening. Pivotably mounted in the weapon chamber is a weapon carrier, and both the weapon carrier and the weapon chamber member are open at the top portions thereof aligned with the opening in the top wall of the turret to permit mounting and dismounting of the weapon from the exterior of the turret. A cover is pivotably secured to the carrier at the port end thereof and substantially closes the opening in the turret in combination with the carrier in its various pivoted positions. The cover is comprised of at least two articulated elements which move with the carrier in its pivoting and which are slidable relative to the turret top wall.
