what is the name of the gun on a tank
Used in the Vietnam War, it was strange in only two respects: It was the only tank ever built from aluminum and the only tank to have ever fired completely combustible main gun shells (152mm) in combat.
The first operational fighter plane was the Vickers F.B 5 "Gun Bus".
180db
The largest gun ever put on a tank is the 152 mm gun on the Soviet ISU-152 tank destroyer. It was designed during World War II and was known for its ability to destroy heavily fortified targets and enemy tanks with its powerful gun.
Contrary to popular belief the German 8.8cm gun was not the biggest gun mounted on a tank in WW2. the bigest gun mounted on a tank that saw combat was the D25-T 122 mm gun on the Russian JS-1. the biggest gun mounted on a none conventional tank that saw combat is the 380 mm Rocket propelled naval gun off the StrumTiger of witch only 7 were ever built.
Main US tanks: 1. WWI-French Renault Model 1917 2. WWII-M4 Sherman medium tank 3. Korean War-M46 Patton medium gun tank 4. Vietnam War-M48 Patton medium gun tank (last of the Patton series) 5. Peace time, post Vietnam-M60 Main Battle Tank (official title, M60 Combat tank) 6. Peace time, post M60 MBT/to present-M1 Abrams MBT
a male tank has a cannon gun a female tank has a machine gun
A tank can shoot targets with its main gun at distances in excess of 2 miles. More advanced canons and ammunition extend this range even further.
Same as a battleship (battle tank)=Armor & Gun. Examples: Remove the gun, you'll have an armored personnel carrier. Leave the gun but remove the armor and you'll have a SPG (Self Propelled Gun=Artillery piece). Retain them both=Main Battle Tank. Same with the battleship; remove the guns you have an armored vessel. Leave the guns but remove the armor and you've got a heavily armed cruiser.
In 1950, the US Army redesignated tanks as 120mm Heavy Gun tanks, 90mm Medium Gun tanks, and 76mm Light Gun tanks. This was a change from the previous Heavy, Medium, and Light tanks, determined from the vehicle's weight. In 1960, with the advent of the new M60 Combat tank, and the deactivation of the Army's only Heavy Tank battalion (the M103 heavy tanks); the M60 series became MAIN BATTLE TANKS (MBT's).
The tank is probably empty, your safety is on, or you have not cocked the gun.
