Abstract: A weapon mounting system for a vehicle, such as a helicopter. The weapon mounting system illustratively includes a weapon cradle supporting a machine gun for pivoting movement about a generally horizontal elevational axis. A carriage supports the weapon cradle and is supported by a pintle for rotation about a generally vertical azimuth axis. An ejection collection device is supported by the carriage and collects spent shell casings and links ejected from the machine gun for discharge through the pintle. A trigger assembly illustratively provides for manual operation by a gunner and for remote electrical operation by a pilot.

Abstract: A modular shelving system includes a plurality of modular upright support units spaced from each other in the length direction of the system. Each unit includes a plurality of generally horizontal through passages for receiving and respectively supporting a plurality of elongated shelf-supporting rails of varying lengths to allow for varying the length of the shelving system as well as varying the spacing between the support units. Some of the through passages are located at lower areas of the support units to position some of the supporting rails for supporting an appropriate lower shelf. Other of the through passages are located at upper areas of the support units to position other of the supporting rails for supporting an appropriate upper shelf.
