The gun is the module which acts as a vehicle's main armament. Guns can fire a variety of ammunition types and have varying characteristics with regards to accuracy, penetration ability, reload time and damage. These characteristics can be different on different vehicles, or on the same vehicle in different turrets. If a gun is damaged in battle it will receive an accuracy penalty, and if the gun is destroyed it will not fire or move until repaired.

A vehicle's gun is affected by its gunner(s) and loader(s) (a tank can have more than one gunner or loader). The skill of the gunner(s) being used will affect the accuracy and aiming characteristics of the gun, while the skill of the loader(s) will affect its reload times. Having either knocked out in battle will result in a severe accuracy or reload penalty accordingly. If a gunner has the "armorer" skill trained, the gun will receive less of an accuracy penalty when damaged than it would normally.

-A vehicle's gun, typically a cannon, is the vehicle's main weapon. The gun caliber is not the only factor in its overall performance: one must also look at the penetration and rate of fire as very important considerations when choosing a gun. Longer guns tend to have more accuracy and penetration because more of the gunpowder is burned while the shell is in the barrel, resulting in greater acceleration. Not all guns available for a tank can be mounted on any turret. If there is a turret module preceding a gun on a tank tech tree, you will probably need to research, buy, and install it before mounting the gun. A destroyed gun module will prevent the tank from firing until it is repaired, and a damaged gun module will fire with drastically-reduced accuracy.
+The '''gun''' is the module which acts as a vehicle's main armament.  Guns can fire a variety of [[Ammo|ammunition types]] and have varying characteristics with regards to accuracy, penetration ability, reload time and damage.  These characteristics can be different on different vehicles, or on the same vehicle in different [[Turret|turrets]].  If a gun is damaged in battle it will receive an accuracy penalty, and if the gun is destroyed it will not fire or move until repaired.
+A vehicle's gun is affected by its [[Crew|gunner(s) and loader(s)]] (a tank can have more than one gunner or loader).  The skill of the gunner(s) being used will affect the accuracy and aiming characteristics of the gun, while the skill of the loader(s) will affect its reload times.  Having either knocked out in battle will result in a severe accuracy or reload penalty accordingly.  If a gunner has the "armorer" skill trained, the gun will receive less of an accuracy penalty when damaged than it would normally.

+<table style="width:100%;">
-<u>Damage</u> - The amount of hit points the shell takes from the enemy tank with a hit. Measured in HP (Hit Points), The gun damage statistics are usually written in a format such as #/#/#: referring to the shell types available for the gun, usually AP/APCR/HE ammo types.

-<u>Penetration</u> - The penetration of the weapon refers to the amount of flat metal armor the gun can penetrate in millimeters (mm). Penetration is calculated as if firing at flat armor at a range of 100m, and is usually written in the #/#/# format. Again, this refers to the different shell types available for the gun.

-<u>Shells</u> - The available shell types for the guns are determined by the color of the damage and penetration attributes: <span class="ammoAP">AP</span>, <span class="ammoAPCR">APCR</span>, <span class="ammoHE">HE</span>, <span class="ammoHEAT">HEAT</span>, <span class="ammoHEp">HE premium</span>.

-<u>Rate of Fire</u> - The rate of fire of a gun is the amount of shells that can be fired in a particular span of time, also known as RoF. The RoF of a gun is measured in rounds per minute, and is another way to to state the reload time.

-<u>Accuracy</u> - The accuracy of the gun is the maximum shell dispersion when the sights are fully closed/contracted. The accuracy of a gun is measured in meters, indicating the amount of dispersion when fired at a target at a distance of 100m. The shell dispersion is also effected by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution Gaussian distribution].
