Which military vehicle has the most mounted guns in the world?
Which tank/apc/vehicle has the most attached cannons, missiles, turrets and so on? I’m talking about mounted as standard.

well i can see the battle ship but if you are talking about land it is the abrams battle tank. The person that answered 2nd was almost right. We have a 240 slaved to the main gun (coax) we have a 240 that the loader has use of. we have the obvious 120mm main gun. we have a .50 cal for the tank commander and now we have a .50 cal slaves to the main gun as well. it is the new anti sniper package.
…until recently "retired" from Service… The Battleship !
(…and yes, the Battleship is an Ocean going vehicle)
The M-1A1 Abraham’s tank,it mounts a 120mm cannon,2 7.62 mm
Machine guns and a .50 cal machine gun.
Im going to go with either the hind helicopter, the A-10 warthog, and maybe an apache

nvm- aircraft carries have hella planes which all have hella weapons, and are all part of the carriers overall armament
How bout gunships…I mean the planes like the AC-130. they have artillery, mini guns, like everything. 13 different weapons to be exact. Thats a beast if ya ask me.
Ships are military vehicles right? That is where your answer is going to be.
A WWII era battleship like say the American Iowa class for example mounted nine 16" guns, twenty 5" guns, eighty 40mm guns and a similar number (it varied from ship to ship and by date) of 20mm guns.
If you are talking land vehicles then the early days of the tank are where you will find your answer, particularly in the 1930’s when the multi-turreted monsters were all the rage.
The Soviet T-35 for example had one main turret with a 76.2mm gun, two smaller turrets each with a 45mm gun and up to seven 7.62mm machine guns spread among the 5 total turrets.
Modern armored vehicles tend to be more practially armed. The Russian BMP-3 is probably one of the more extreme cases of armament diversity found today. Its turret mounts a rather convoluted armament of one 100mm low-velocity gun that can also fire anti-tank missiles, one high velocity 30mm automatic cannon and one 7.62mm machine gun. There are two more machine guns fixed in the hull. The debate rages over how practical this setup actually is but it does have its proponents. Modern tanks typically have just the main gun, a coaxial machine gun and often (but not always) one or two more machine guns mounted on the roof. The Israeli’s go a step farther by adding a 60mm mortar on the tank for dropping smoke rounds on enemy anti-tank teams.
