mounted gun
Emplaced artillery piece
A mounted gun is a firearm fixed to a stable platform rather than held by hand.
The mount may be a tripod, vehicle, aircraft, ship, or fortification.
Mounting allows for heavier weapons with greater firepower and accuracy than handheld alternatives: The helicopter's mounted guns provided cover fire.
Machine guns and artillery pieces are typically mounted.
