Abstract
A plurality of, such as six weapon barrels are rotatively mounted about a central axis or shaft of a multi-barrel weapon, for example, a Gatling gun. In order to achieve a good target grouping the weapon barrels should be focused and twisted or curved. The weapon barrels are held in the desired position by a support apparatus. This support apparatus comprises a first adjustment element for the radial displacement of the weapon barrels with respect to the central axis or shaft of the weapon and a second adjustment element for the tangential displacement of the weapon barrels with respect to the central axis or shaft of the weapon.
