gun emplacements
Fixed weapon stations
Gun emplacements are fortified positions where artillery or heavy weapons are mounted.
The term typically refers to permanent or semi-permanent installations—concrete bunkers, earthworks, or platforms designed to protect both weapon and crew while providing a clear field of fire.
