5. The mounting system of claim 3 , wherein:

the anti-role plate defines an aperture; and

the piston is adapted to penetrate the aperture;

wherein the piston includes a shoulder adapted to abut the anti-roll plate.

6. The Mounting system of claim 3 , wherein:

the piston assembly further includes a lever arm and a spring;

wherein the piston assembly is adapted to transfer a compressive force to the anti-roll plate.

7. The mounting system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a loader interface box secured to the cross-member.

8. The mounting system of claim 7 , wherein the loader interface box includes a loader's button.

9. A laser emitter mounting system for a large caliber weapon, comprising:

a mounting assembly adapted to be slidably inserted into a gun chamber, including:

an anti-roll plate;

an elongate support member including a first gun bore adaptor and a second gun bore adaptor positioned at respective ends of the support member;

a mounting surface for a laser emitter;

o-rings positioned on said first and second gun bore adaptors to compressively secure the elongate support member within bore;

a breech assembly, said breech assembly including:

oppositely disposed parallel sides;

a cross-member connecting the oppositely disposed sides;

forwardly extending arms adapted to engage the anti-roll plate; and

a piston assembly including a piston cylinder housing and a piston.

10. The mounting system of claim 9 , wherein:

the anti-role plate defines an aperture; and

the piston is adapted to penetrate the aperture;

wherein the piston includes a shoulder adapted to abut the anti-roll plate.

11. The mounting system of claim 9 , further comprising:

a loader interface box secured to the cross-member.

12. The mounting system of claim 11 , wherein the loader interface box includes a loader's button.

13. The mounting system of claim 9 , wherein:

the piston assembly includes a lever arm and a spring;

wherein the piston assembly is adapted to transfer a compressive force to the anti-roll plate.

14. A method for mounting an in-bore laser emitter in a large caliber gun, comprising:

providing an elongate tubular mounting assembly and a breech assembly, said breech assembly including:

oppositely disposed parallel sides;

a cross-member connecting the oppositely disposed sides;

forwardly extending arms adapted to engage the anti-roll plate;

a piston assembly including a piston cylinder housing and a piston;

fixing a laser emitter to an internal surface of the tubular mounting assembly;

sliding the elongate tubular mounting assembly into a gun bore until the gun bore and the tubular mounting assembly share a common concentric center along the length of the tubular member; and

seating a breech assembly to secure the tubular mounting assembly.

15. The method of claim 14 , further comprising the steps of:

connecting a laser emitter in electrical communication with a gun's electronic triggering mechanism.

16. The method of claim 14 , further comprising the step of:

exerting a continuous forward pressure on the tubular mounting assembly.
