=== Armanent ===
The gun has a caliber of 120mm (as the name would suggest), and a length of 44 calibers. The gun's standard barrel weighs roughly 1,190 kilograms (2,620 lb). Incorporated into the
The vehicle carries 52 rounds, 20 ready rounds are stored vertically on the left side of the main gun breech. The 32 other are stowed in a hull rack to the left of the driver's station. The gun barrel has a thermal insulating sleeve and a fume extractor; it is fully stabilized in both azimuth and elevation by an electro-hydraulic drive system.

A variety of ammunition has been developed for use by the vehicle by Reingiker. This includes a series of kinetic energy penetrators, such as the M235 series, and high explosive anti-tank warheads. These also extend to the new M9000 series of depleted uranium munitions, however these are still in experimental stage and have yet to be stabilized enough for service upon the tank's introduction.
Lighter armament includes three 7.62 mm MG-67T machine guns, one pintle mounted, one coaxial to the left of the main gun.
The tank's advanced fire-control system, a result of a Putz-Mitek collaboration efforts, is designated FC-71-MT TURMS (Tank Universal Reconfigurable Modular System), and includes day and night panoramic capability for the commander's SP-T-694 primary sight (developed collaboratively by Putz/Mitek), a stabilized platform including a thermal gunner's sight and a laser rangefinder to increase accuracy and expedite target detection and targeting, and a digital fire-control computer, which is capable of measuring wind speed, humidity, and exterior weather conditions, combining them with the turret's angle of elevation, attitude, and the barrel's physical wear to increase accuracy. Since its introduction there have been several upgrades to the fire-control system, including the addition of a Yttrium-Aluminium-Garnet laser rangefinder with a range of 300 to 5,000 meters, a 32-bit ballistics analysis computer, improved thermal imaging and Automated-tracking systems, and improved gun stabilization. The FCS also has an automated tracking system, and is capable of engaging moving or stationary targets while moving in day or night. The automatic target tracking system uses a thermal image display which can be controlled by either the tank gunner or commander. It is capable of tracking soldiers, vehicles and helicopters. The targeting computer can also calculate lead on moving targets.
