The EC360 main gun is a 120mm smoothbore cannon, featuring a low-profile design that ensures optimal integration with modern armored vehicles.
It is specifically developed to engage and destroy a wide range of targets, including enemy armored vehicles, fortified positions, and even low-flying aircraft. The gun's caliber allows it to fire a variety of ammunition types, providing flexibility and adaptability in different combat scenarios.
One of the key features of the EC360 main gun is its advanced autoloader system. This system reduces the crew's workload and increases the rate of fire by automatically loading and ejecting ammunition. This significantly improves the gun's overall efficiency and allows for quicker response times on the battlefield. The autoloader system also contributes to the gun's compact design, as it eliminates the need for a separate crew member dedicated to loading the gun manually.
The EC360 main gun is capable of firing a range of ammunition types, including armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot (APFSDS) rounds, high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds, and high-explosive (HE) rounds. The APFSDS rounds are designed to penetrate thick armor, while the HEAT rounds excel at defeating armored targets by utilizing a shaped charge to focus the explosive force. The HE rounds are effective against soft targets, fortifications, and infantry positions.
To ensure accuracy and precision, the EC360 main gun is equipped with an advanced fire control system.
This system incorporates a computerized targeting system, laser rangefinder, and ballistic calculator to calculate and adjust for factors such as range, wind speed, and target movement. This enables the gunner to engage targets accurately even under challenging conditions. The gun is also equipped with a stabilization system that reduces the effects of vehicle movement on the gun's aim, further enhancing its accuracy.
The EC360 main gun features a muzzle velocity of approximately 1,700 meters per second, allowing for extended effective firing ranges. It has a maximum effective range of around 4,000 meters, depending on the ammunition type and target. The gun's high muzzle velocity and long-range capabilities enable it to engage targets from a safe distance, minimizing the risk to the crew and vehicle.
