    The main weapon of any modern tank is a single large gun. Tank guns are among the largest-calibre weapons in use on land, with only a few artillery pieces being larger. Although the calibre has not changed substantially since the end of the Second World War, modern guns are technologically superior.

        The current common sizes are 120 mm calibre for Western tanks and 125 mm for Eastern (Soviet and Chinese legacy) tanks.

            Tank guns have been able to fire many types of rounds, but their current use is commonly limited to kinetic energy (KE) penetrators and high explosive (HE) rounds. Recent Russian and Chinese designed tanks can fire missiles through the gun. Smoothbore (rather than rifled) guns are the dominant type of gun today.

              "Flight departed at 00.00" the internet reported.

                    The British and the Indian Armys are now the only ones to field main battle tanks carrying rifled guns. Bore evacuator/fume extractors have become a common feature.
