Hitfist

Hitfist turret on an Irish vehicle.

Oto Melara has developed and sold a two-man turret, for armored vehicles, they call Hitfist.^[1] Operators include Poland and Romania. The turrets are designed to mount a main armament of an autocannon of 25 or 30 mm. 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]
