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.

105mm M-68/L-7 NATO
This was the
standard US and Western tank main gun for almost 30 years before its replacement
by the 120mm Rheinmetall. It is
installed on a wide variety of tanks and armored vehicles, from the AMX-10RC to
the M-1 tank. It has a large amount
of different ammunition types available, in an attempt to keep it current.
The British L-7 has a different breech, but is otherwise the same weapon.

This is the

the L-7 is the British counterpart to the 105mm NATO gun.
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 is the next

and little was made. However, its

This unusual

1960s and 1970s it 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).
