100mm D-10
This is an older Russian large caliber gun found on such tanks as the T-55 and Type 69, as well as field pieces, and a modified form is found on newer vehicles such as the BMP-3 and newer Pact T-55s. (This newer version can fire AT-10 ATGM through the gun barrel.) This gun has been much modified over the years in attempt to increase its effectiveness, and a wide variety of ammunition is available for it. Unlike most large-caliber tank guns, the D-10 may be used as an artillery piece, and has an indirect fire range.

The L-11 arms most British-made tanks; however, just before the Twilight War, these guns were being replaced by Rheinmetall guns to take advantage of the wider ammunition choices.

125mm Russian
This gun arms most modern Russian tanks, since its introduction on the T-64. Updates have made it able to fire various ATGM through its gun barrel (such as the AT-8 and AT-11). This weapon is also mounted on a field carriage, known as the Rapira-3. The ATGM-firing versions were introduced because the 125mm Russian gun's long-range performance is not good. The autoloader for this gun on Russian tanks tends to grab the gunner's arm and attempt to load it into the gun barrel; on a catastrophic failure, the GM may rule that this has happened (causing 2d6 damage to the gunner's right arm, and requiring 6 phases to clear). This does not happen on the Rapira-3, since it does not have an autoloader.

This unusual weapon is found only on the Sheridan airborne combat vehicle (though in the 1960s and 1970s is was also found on the M-60A2 tank). It recoil is so violent for such a light tank that the firing of any conventional gun round (but not the Shillelagh missile) that there is a 2 in 10 chance on each firing that the rangefinder takes minor damage. This gun can also fire the Shillelagh ATGM through its gun tube (see US ATGMs).
