Smoothbore Barrel: A barrel without rifling, designed for high-velocity sabot rounds.
Muzzle Velocity: The speed at which a projectile leaves the barrel.
Bore Evacuator: The “bulge” on the barrel that prevents toxic fumes from entering the crew cabin.

Transmission: The system that transfers power to the tracks.
Suspension System: Torsion bars or hydropneumatic systems that absorb shock.
Tracks & Sprockets: The continuous belt and the geared wheels that drive the tank.
Fording Depth: The maximum depth of water a tank can cross.
