The EX200-1 main gun is a smoothbore cannon, designed to fire various types of ammunition with precision and efficiency.
It boasts a caliber of 120mm, which is widely recognized as a standard for modern main battle tanks and armored fighting vehicles. The cannon is equipped with an automatic loader, enabling rapid reloading and minimizing the crew's exposure to hostile fire.
One of the notable features of the EX200-1 is its exceptional muzzle velocity. It propels projectiles at velocities exceeding 1,500 meters per second, providing enhanced accuracy and penetration capabilities. This allows the gun to effectively engage a wide range of targets, including enemy armored vehicles, fortified positions, and even low-flying aircraft.
The main gun also incorporates advanced fire control systems, including state-of-the-art ballistic computers and targeting sensors. These systems enable precise aiming, compensating for factors such as range, wind speed, and projectile ballistics. The gunner can acquire and engage targets quickly and accurately, even in challenging battlefield conditions.
In terms of ammunition, the EX200-1 is compatible with a diverse array of rounds.
It can fire kinetic energy penetrators (KEP), which utilize the energy of high-velocity projectiles to penetrate armored targets. Additionally, it can deploy high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds, designed to defeat enemy armor through the use of shaped charges. The gun can also fire high-explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) rounds for engaging soft targets, such as infantry or light vehicles.
The EX200-1 main gun features a hydraulic recoil mechanism, which effectively absorbs the firing forces, reducing the stress on the vehicle and improving overall stability during repeated firing sequences. This system allows for rapid reacquisition of targets and minimizes the time required for subsequent shots.
To ensure sustained firepower, the EX200-1 is typically equipped with an ammunition storage and handling system located within the vehicle. This system houses a significant number of ready-to-fire rounds, allowing for prolonged engagements without the need for frequent resupply. It also enhances crew safety by providing a protected storage space for ammunition.
The main gun is integrated into a comprehensive fire control system that includes advanced sighting devices, thermal imagers, and laser rangefinders. These components enable effective target acquisition and engagement at various ranges, day or night, in diverse weather conditions. The gunner benefits from superior situational awareness and increased operational capabilities.
