Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus (112) includes a housing (104) configured to couple the apparatus to a weapon mount (110) and to secure one or more gas springs (102). The one or more gas springs are configured to provide one or more forces. The apparatus also includes one or more wire ropes (114), where each wire rope is fixed at a first end to the weapon mount and has a hook at a second end. The apparatus further includes one or more guides (108) configured to guide the one or more wire ropes. In addition, the apparatus includes one or more bearings (106) configured to facilitate movement of the one or more wire ropes. The one or more wire ropes are configured to couple movement of the one or more gas springs to a tensile force on a front portion of the weapon mount or a weapon (116) so as to counter-balance a weight of the weapon in the weapon mount.
