The weapon mount is a critical component of firearms training. The type, features, and capabilities of the mount directly impact the effectiveness of training exercises. ACME Worldwide Enterprises Inc. provides a wide range of options to meet your specific needs, including custom mounts tailored to your unique requirements.
Mount Specific Elements
The field of fire, both in azimuth and elevation, is a crucial aspect of weapon mounts. This depends on the weapon type and the mount’s application. For instance, helicopter mounts often have limited fields of fire to prevent accidental self-inflicted damage. Anti-aircraft mounts, on the other hand, excel in elevation but may have restricted depression. ACME meticulously replicates actual mounts to mirror real-world applications. Additionally, some ACME mounts offer adjustable fields of fire to accommodate various training scenarios.
Mounts by Application
Weapon mounts vary significantly based on the vehicle type or firing position.
- Ring Mounts: Common on land vehicles, ring mounts provide 360-degree rotation for engaging targets in any direction.
- Deck Mounts: Designed for watercraft, deck mounts are typically tripods that allow gunners to operate in confined spaces while standing or crouching.
- Helicopter Mounts: Helicopters require a diverse array of mounts based on aircraft type, weapon type, and firing position. Each mount can be unique, and a single helicopter may have multiple types. Examples include window, door, and ramp mounts.
- Tripod Mounts: For basic training in classrooms or ready rooms, tripod mounts offer a simple solution. ACME provides various tripods to suit these needs.
Articulating Mounts
Certain weapon mounts, particularly those used in doors and windows, need to fold or articulate for stowage and deployment. ACME emulates these types of mounts to enable trainees to practice unlocking, moving, folding, and stowing weapons.
Wind Loading Mounts
Weapons mounted on helicopters are subject to airstream loads. ACME’s wind loading system provides variable torque to simulate these loads, ensuring realistic training experiences. ACME offers weapon mounts with and without wind loading systems to cater to different training requirements.
By providing a comprehensive range of weapon mounts, ACME ensures that your training exercises are as realistic and effective as possible. Whether you need a simple tripod mount for classroom training or a complex helicopter mount for specialized scenarios, ACME has the solution to meet your needs.
