if you can see it, you're in range.
The Russians fit 125mm smoothbore cannons to their tanks. The NATO countries like 120mm cannons.
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).
120mm smoothbore tank ammo, 12.7x99 (.50 BMG), and 7.62x51.
what is the name of the gun on a tank
120mm = 0.00012km
The Vietnam War was the last US war in which the (M48) Patton medium tank was used, consisting of: a mechanical computer for gun ranging; the optical coincidence range finder; homogenous steel armor; a diesel engine; Xenon searchlight (white light); 90mm medium main gun; and a painted white star on the turret (National Insignia). 21st Century tanks use: Computers to control the firing of the 120mm smoothbore main gun; Lasers for range finders; Night Vision Devices; classified synthetic armor; a jet turbine engine; and either a sub-dued black star painted on the tank, or no star at all for it's National Insignia.
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.
a male tank has a cannon gun a female tank has a machine gun
well first of all i have no idea what a combushion cannon is idk if its even a word. but as for the M1a1 and a2 variants the tank has a 120mm smoothbore gun which can fire 2 types of rounds the SABOT round which is like a huge depleated uranium arrow which will destroy heavy armor and the HEAT round which stands for high explosive anti tank which is used against light armour and buildings
The tank is probably empty, your safety is on, or you have not cocked the gun.
No, it is illegal for civilians to own a tank with a working gun in most countries.
The range of a modern tank cannon typically varies between 2,000 to 4,000 meters (about 1.2 to 2.5 miles), depending on the specific model and type of ammunition used. For instance, the 120mm smoothbore cannon found on many Western tanks like the M1 Abrams can effectively engage targets at these distances. Advanced ammunition types, such as armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS), can enhance range and accuracy. However, effective engagement often depends on factors like terrain, weather, and the tank's targeting systems.
