ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A mortar system is provided for an armoured vehicle equipped with a pivotally mounted armoured shield and a ball mount situated in a traverse member of the vehicle. The system includes a mount adapted to receive the barrel of a mortar and having a barrel mounting section for axially guiding the barrel and for positioning the mount in the shield. A ball end provided at the bottom end of the mount is arranged in the ball mount. A rotatable body is located between the end of the barrel into which the ammunition is loaded and a bottom portion of the mount. The body rotates about an axis parallel to the axis of the bore in the barrel and is provided with barrel sections that receive the ammunition. One barrel section is aligned with the barrel at the end thereof or at the end of the barrel and at the bottom end of the mount. This one barrel section is sealed by a sealing mechanism. The internal length of the barrel sections is substantially shorter than the shortest ammunition.
