The invention relates to a weapon turret (10) intended for a military vehicle and equipped with a medium-calibre automatic weapon (12) and a relatively heavy-calibre weapon (14), in which the two weapons are, firstly, mounted in a weapon holder fitted in the weapon turret such that they can be jointly pivoted about a common horizontal pivot axis (18) and, secondly, can be pivoted jointly with the turret about a vertical centre axis (20) of the same, the heavy-calibre weapon (14) being mounted next to and parallel with the automatic weapon (12) and close up to this. At least one ammunition magazine (48) in the weapon turret (10) is provided with at least one guide duct (44, 46) for guiding an ammunition belt from the magazine to the automatic weapon (12). According to the invention, the automatic weapon (12) is mounted in the weapon holder such that the longitudinal axis of the barrel (26) of the automatic weapon extends through the common horizontal pivot axis (18) and through the vertical centre axis (20) of the weapon turret.
