Edit: After further research it is not the Sharpshooter turret as the suggestion, well um, suggests. But is actually an FMC turret I shared below.
Brochure for Sharpshooter is hidden for archiving.

Actually, are we sure it’s the “Sharpshooter” turret? I just found this brochure for an FMC “One-man Electric Drive Enclosed Weapon Station” and it appears to be much closer in appearance to this Fox 25 turret.
It’s even got the same secondary sight. Or are these perhaps the same turret just being sold by a 3rd party?

As I am aware, FMC is the original creator and manufacturer of the turret. FMC then became part of United Defense and United Defense became part of BAE. As far as I know, FNSS then purchased, modernized, and now markets FMC’s design as part of their Sharpshooter family.

That does seem right, I just found this mention on an equipment brochure and it does seem to say “American FMC-Hughes 25mm Chain Gun Turret”.
So I believe this Fox has the early FMC turret before FNSS improved it with the Sharpshooter.

If this vehicle is from 1982, then it’s definitely not FNSS since they didn’t exist until 1988.
