Claim:
1. A weapons system comprising a firing station having a first cylindrical part, a base having a second cylindrical part coaxial with the first cylindrical part, and a connecting device rotatably coupling the firing station to the base, the connecting device comprising a bearing configured to provide adjustment of a resisting torque between the first and second cylindrical parts, which can rotate relative to one another about a common axis of rotation, wherein said bearing comprises two rings made of an elastically deformable material and configured to cooperate respectively with the first and second cylindrical parts, and between which rolling elements are arranged so as to be in contact with rolling tracks of said rings, said device further comprising a controllable adjustment member for clamping the rings to selectively deform the elastically deformable rings, selective deformation of the elastically deformable rings providing selective adjustment of the resting torque, the adjustment member being configured to cooperate with one of the first and second cylindrical parts in order to act upon said bearing.
