The EX200-2 main gun is a smoothbore weapon, meaning it has a barrel with a smooth interior surface, which allows for higher projectile velocities and improved accuracy.
The gun utilizes a 120mm caliber, which is a common size for modern armored vehicles. This caliber strikes a balance between projectile size and weight, enabling effective engagement of various targets, including armored vehicles, fortifications, and personnel.
One of the standout features of the EX200-2 is its autoloader system. The gun is equipped with an advanced autoloading mechanism that allows for rapid and efficient ammunition loading, reducing the crew's workload and increasing the gun's rate of fire. The autoloader is capable of holding multiple rounds, typically around 30, which provides a considerable advantage in prolonged engagements.
The EX200-2 boasts a highly accurate targeting system, incorporating advanced ballistic computers and fire control systems. This allows the gunner to quickly acquire and engage targets with precision, even under challenging conditions. The gun's fire control system takes into account various factors such as range, wind speed, and target motion, enabling accurate first-round hits and minimizing the time required for follow-up shots.
In terms of ammunition, the EX200-2 can fire a wide range of projectiles, including kinetic energy penetrators (APFSDS) and high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds.
APFSDS rounds are designed to defeat heavily armored targets by utilizing a dense, fin-stabilized penetrator that can penetrate thick armor with high velocity. HEAT rounds, on the other hand, utilize a shaped charge to create a focused jet of molten metal upon impact, capable of penetrating armored vehicles.
Furthermore, the EX200-2 can also fire a variety of specialized rounds, such as smoke, illumination, and canister rounds. Smoke rounds create a dense smoke screen to obscure the battlefield, providing concealment and protection for friendly forces. Illumination rounds are designed to illuminate the area during nighttime operations, improving situational awareness. Canister rounds release a large number of small projectiles, effectively turning the main gun into a giant shotgun, suitable for engaging infantry or other soft targets.
The EX200-2 main gun is designed with durability and maintainability in mind. It is constructed using high-strength materials to withstand the rigors of combat and is equipped with an effective recoil system to minimize the impact on the vehicle and crew during firing. The gun is also designed for ease of maintenance, with accessible components and modular design, allowing for efficient repairs and upgrades.
