General info

The JSW 105 mm is the license production of the British 105 mm L7 gun equipping the Type 74 tanks, it shares many characteristics such as the access to the HESH ammunition (High-explosive squash head).

It comes with an indigenous breech and recoil system. Which would be further improved and changed on the Type 16 with a 2-stage recoil system to further reduce recoil and keep the Type 16 MCV level.
