Definitions

• the invention relates to steep fire protection, in particular grenade launchers, with at least one swivel-adjustable weapon barrel, an interlocking mechanism for tube adjustment and a directional adjustment for the interlocking mechanism for aligning the weapon tubes
• Such a steep fire protection is known from AT 399 221 B, which, in order to increase the fire and fighting power, has several weapon tubes combined to form a bundle of tubes, and yet can be used quite flexibly because of its articulation to a vehicle via ball joints on a floor plate that can be set down on the floor and are held in the desired position by means of a setting frame, which setting frame consists of side pendulum nozzles and lying transverse yokes for raising and sidelonging the weapon barrels and is pivotable relative to the base plate by means of adjusting arms Adjusting arms and hydraulic levels integrated in the setting frame provide the necessary alignment movements.
