At the heart of the PC120-6 is its main gun, a 120mm smoothbore cannon.
This weapon is renowned for its ability to engage and destroy a wide range of targets with precision and devastating firepower. The smoothbore design enables the tank to fire various types of ammunition, including armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS) rounds, high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds, and high-explosive squash head (HESH) rounds.
The PC120-6's main gun boasts an impressive range, capable of engaging targets at distances exceeding 4 kilometers. With such reach, the tank can strike adversaries from a safe distance, reducing the risk of counterattacks. Furthermore, the gun's advanced targeting systems and fire control technology ensure exceptional accuracy, enhancing the tank's lethality and effectiveness on the battlefield.
To ensure rapid and efficient loading, the PC120-6 is equipped with an autoloader system. This mechanized device enables the tank crew to reload the main gun swiftly, reducing the time between shots and increasing the tank's rate of fire. The autoloader also enhances crew safety by minimizing the need for manual ammunition handling, reducing the risk of accidents during intense combat situations.
The PC120-6 incorporates advanced fire control systems and targeting technology.
These systems include a ballistic computer, laser rangefinder, and thermal imaging devices, which provide the tank crew with precise information about the target's distance, position, and environmental conditions. By integrating this data, the tank's fire control system can calculate the optimal trajectory and adjust the gun's elevation and azimuth, improving accuracy and ensuring a higher probability of hitting the target.
The main gun of the PC120-6 is also equipped with advanced muzzle control systems to mitigate the effects of recoil. Recoil reduction technology allows for more accurate successive shots and minimizes the impact on the tank's stability and crew fatigue. This feature is especially crucial during intense engagements and quick maneuvering, enabling the tank to maintain a higher rate of fire and remain combat-ready.
Additionally, the PC120-6 main gun can be elevated and depressed within a wide range of angles, enabling the tank to engage targets effectively in various terrain conditions. The gun's stabilization system ensures that it remains steady even while the tank is on the move, enhancing accuracy and target acquisition capabilities.
