Abstract
A rotary-ring carriage for a light weapon on a combat vehicle, especially for the hatchway of a military tank. The weapon is mounted on an undercarriage that rolls on wheels along curved rails. The rails extend along arcs subtending angles greater than .pi. rad and less than 2.pi. rad, a complete circumference. The undercarriage extends along an arc subtending an angle greater than the difference between 2.pi. rad and the angle subtended by the rails.
