Hitfist

Hitfist turret on an Armoured fighting vehicle.

Oto Melara Hitfist is a two-man turret, for armored vehicles, developed by the Italian Oto Melara.[1] The turrets are designed to mount a 25mm Oerlikon KBA or 30/40mm ATK Mk44 Bushmaster II autocannon. The main armament may mount a co-axial machine gun. A variant allows the operator to aim and fire anti-tank missiles.

The turret, and its weapons, can be operated by a single individual.[1]

Oto Melara also sells a smaller remotely operated turret, named Hitrole, that mounts smaller weapons, like machine guns and automatic grenade launchers.

Oto Melara sells a similar appearing remotely operated turret, called Hitfist OWS.[2]

The 30mm variant of the Hitfist turret adds 2,670 kilograms (5,890 lb) to a vehicle's weight.[3]
