Mobile turret weapon delivery system

A portable turret for supporting, aiming and firing a weapon, the portable turret comprising:

• a base;
• a vertical support rotatably supported by the base;
• a weapon mounting fixture pivotably mounted on an upper end of the vertical support, the weapon mounting fixture adapted to receive and secure the weapon at an upper end of the vertical support;
• a first handle adapted to rotate the vertical support relative to the base so as to adjust an azimuthal firing angle of the weapon;
• a second handle attached to the vertical support forming a pistol grip and including a secondary trigger;
• a trigger linkage extending between the secondary trigger and a primary trigger associated with the weapon such that a pulling movement of the secondary trigger mechanically causes a corresponding pulling movement of the primary trigger to fire the weapon;
• an altitude firing angle adjustment lever associated with the second handle for adjusting the altitude firing angle of the weapon;
• an altitude firing angle adjustment link extending between the altitude firing angle adjustment lever and a connection point on a rearward portion of the weapon mounting fixture such that upward and downward movement of the altitude firing angle adjustment lever causes the weapon mounting fixture to pivot forward and back atop the vertical support, thereby altering the altitude firing angle of the weapon secured within the weapon mounting fixture;
• a magazine re-load lever associated with the weapon mounting fixture adapted to eject a spent magazine from the weapon secured within the weapon mounting fixture;
• a magazine reload slide slidably attached to the vertical support, the magazine reload slide including a magazine compartment adapted to receive and hold an ammunition magazine, the magazine compartment oriented such that a magazine placed in the magazine compartment may be received by and loaded into the weapon by an upward sliding movement of the magazine reload slide;
• and
• a periscope mounted on the vertical support, the periscope having an image acquiring aperture substantially adjacent the weapon mounting fixture, an eyepiece substantially adjacent the second handle, and a telescoping optical tube extending therebetween.
