Abstract
The invention is a gun mount exerciser to force a cannon through its recoil otion which otherwise occurs only when the cannon is fired. The exerciser includes a frame that rests on the outer casing that is fixed around the cannon. The frame is translated on a stationary member by actuation of a fluidically operated cylinder mounted to the stationary member. The frame is fixed to the outer casing of the gun so that translation of the frame effects translation of the outer casing and the cannon itself.
