Pedestal Offset Pintle
Gun Mounting System

Available on NetStar Technologies'
28' HSA Patrol Boat and 36' HSI Gun Boat, the POP is a seated rotating
gun mount pedestal designed to accept the M2HB 12.7 mm, MK19 40 mm, M134D
and M240 7.62 mm machine guns. By having an offset pintle socket the rear
working circle radius is only 25 inches allowing the POP to function in
a narrow vehicle or boat. The seat is quickly removable so that the system
can be used with a standing gunner. A mechanical brake is employed to lock
the POP in train. The seat is adjustable in height. The POP is available
made from noncorrosive materials for marine applications and is currently
in service with the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps. |
