The Zen Armaments Multi-Fit Turret is a rather traditional, multi-fitting turret that can be mounted to ship, building, and various objects to act as a mounting point for most infantry and power-armor weaponry. It was created in YE 39 by Zen Armaments, originally deployed aboard the Terrene Assault Transport.
The ZAMF is an almost cone-shaped turret that rises about five and a half-feet from the bottom to the top, much like a slightly-angled podium. The turret is rather wide at the base, fitted on a 360-degree rotational ring mount, which gets welded to a lift or position on the ground. When stored, the ZAMF is kept straight. When deployed, the body will roll outward on the sides and front to make room for someone to stand on it. This gives it its cone-shape, with the top being slightly narrow with a thick Durandium triple-grip ring-brace centered in a V-shaped gap.
A way to protect areas, the ZAMF was created to allow a common person without much military training to use nearly any weapon without fear of mishandling. As long as a weapon can be wielded by a suit of power armor (Tier 6 and below), the user can fit it fully into the ring-brace for pinpoint accuracy and quick relocation of the firing window. Any weapons too large for power armor to wield, however, will cause the turret to break from the sheer force. Large weapons, however, can still be fitted onto the weapon such as chainguns. These weapons, however, will simply have the ring tightened around their base or most center-mass position to allow the gun to be fired with as minimal amount of recoil possible.
To turn the turret, one only needs to shift the weapon within the mount. A squeeze handle within the turret allows someone to manually halt the turret, otherwise it will keep slowly moving its viewing angle to line itself up with the mounted-weapon's front.
