Gun Mounts, Turrets and Remote Weapon Stations

Mountings and turrets that carry a machine gun or cannon on an aircraft, vehicle or ship, from the ring mount of the First World War to remotely operated modern turrets. A weapon belongs here when its cited article describes it as a gun mount, turret or remote weapon station. It excludes the guns themselves. A mount or turret lets a gunner traverse and elevate a gun against aircraft or ground targets, and modern remote stations let the gunner fire from inside armor using cameras and a screen.
