Basic Information


Primary Inner Workings
The Internals are almost exactly identical to the M1 Abrams, except for a three round rotating revolving device, and an auto loader similar to that of other country similarly styled tanks. In the case that the auto loader fails, the primary loading contraption can be removed by unscrewing it, removing the bolts, and then unlocking the hinges that keep it connected to the cannons.

Primary Cannon
The primary cannon is essentially three M256 120 smoothbore cannons. These cannons rotate on a revolving system that essentially loads and arms each round automatically through an automatic loader and a large conveyor belt like contraption. The Conveyor belt system links up and is hooked up to the primary ammo storage bay. Of course, during the event of an auto-loading failure, the device can be removed and replaced through the removal of several key connecting devices.

The cannons can fire one, two, or three shots simultaneously, three shots within .3 seconds of each other, or fire at a continuous rate of fire of nearly one shot every five seconds by the keen reloading strength and power of the three cannon system. The revolving device can also be used to support three rounds, and be fired through just one cannon. Usually however, the cannons are used in a rotating fashion, as to conserve the equality and ability of each of the barrels.

Ammo Storage Capability
60 120mm Shells (Any Variation)
3000 rounds of 14.5mm x 115mm
Two 4000 round storage units of 7.62mm x 51mm
80 Hyrda 70 pods, or two AGM-114 hellfire missiles.
