View source for Engineering:List of tank main guns

This is a list of '''tank main guns''' which are designed or used as the primary weapon of combat by [[Engineering:Tank|tank]]s, such as light tanks, medium tanks, heavy tanks, or main battle tanks. Many tanks have other, secondary weapons installed in them, such as [[Engineering:Machine gun|machine gun]]s, [[Engineering:Autocannon|autocannon]]s and small calibre mortars, which are not included in this list.

Also excluded from this list are weapons installed in [[Engineering:Self-propelled artillery|self-propelled artillery]] vehicles such as assault guns or [[Engineering:Tank destroyer|tank destroyer]]s that usually lack turrets. This is due to the unique nature of turreted tank tactics, their design, and operation.
